Everything about Corton Lodge exceeded our expectations! The venue was beautiful, affordable, and worth every penny. Ryan and Aimee was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating their positive attitude made the entire planning process stress-free. You can really tell they care about making each couple’s day special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Corton Lodge to anyone planning their wedding in West Virginia.

Diehl Elopement

Our elopement ceremony was absolutely perfect here. Incredible accommodations, great recommendations and communication from the host, and an absolutely stunning and functional venue. Ryan has done an amazing job at renovating and restoring this beautiful site while keeping guest comfort and ease of access in mind. To top it all off, our kiddo forgot his stuffed puppy and Ryan went above and beyond by shipping it back to us in Ohio, which our little guy is incredibly grateful for. Absolutely top notch service from someone who has truly put their heart and soul into this project. The amount of love needed to fully restore a historical building is clearly felt here, and even more reason to make this the place to say “I do.”

The Corton Lodge is a lovely venue and the owner, Ryan, is very helpful and willing to meet every need you may have. It was a dream come true. The venue is very roomy and the property is much bigger than it seems from the road. If you're on the line as to whether or not just give them a call and make a visit. You won’t regret it!
