The best place to get married

We chose the Greysolon as the place to have our ceremony and reception. It was absolutely amazing and can not express enough how gorgeous this place is. They do everything, so you don't even have to worry about center pieces or anything. Just bring yourselves, and a guest book if you want one. Definitely will be telling everyone that this is the best place to get married, hands down. They even do a taste of Greysolon with a bunch of people getting married in the year to showcase all of their food!

Highly recommend!

I had an absolutely WONDERFUL experience hosting my wedding celebration at Greysolon! The ballroom, west wing lounge (bar area), and getting ready room are stunning. My guests loved the opportunity to celebrate in such an elegant, historic space. Everyone loved the delicious food as well! The staff at Greysolon made wedding planning (even during a pandemic!) as fun and stress-free as possible. They were very flexible and willing to find great solutions with us when we had to change plans due to the pandemic (our original date was 10/10/2020). We are so, so grateful for their support during that crazy time. I always felt extremely well taken care of by Korah, Kalysta, Jax, and our night-of manager Casey. These folks truly could not be more kind, patient, detail-oriented, attentive, reliable, and fun to work with! They know SO much about the wedding industry, and they were always willing to provide recommendations and wedding planning tips. I did not feel the need to have a wedding planner or a day-of wedding coordinator because the staff at Greysolon took such great care of us -- the whole day went seamlessly! Thank you, Greysolon crew!!!

Beautiful venue and seamless planning

The Greysolon team was amazing and made everything easy and seamless. The day of went perfect and beautiful without a hitch. The team was always prompt and so organized for the entire planning process and especially the day of. We are so glad that we chose to get married here. We received endless compliments from many people and a lot of our older relatives made a point to say that it was the prettiest and nicest wedding they had ever been to. Every room in this building is absolutely beautiful. The food was great, drinks were well made, and the decor was everything we asked for. The value of everything was well worth the price and more.

Fairytale Wedding

I loved every part of having our wedding at Greysolon. We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom. The food was amazing, the venue was so beautiful and the staff was great to work with! All of my guests were very impressed.

We got married in the Moorish Room in June, and it was INCREDIBLE! First off, the whole staff was ahhh-mazing through the planning process. I am type A/OCD and planned our entire wedding, and I cannot tell you how many emails and phone calls I had with them. They were beyond helpful, detail-oriented, and patient haha. Almost all of our vendors had worked within them before, and that took a lot of worry out of the process and big day. And when the big day came, to put it simply, everything ran like clockwork, and it was STUNNING! Our guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous it all was...and how much fun they had. Choosing Greysolon was THE BEST decision we made in planning our wedding. We are so happy!

The ballroom was a prefect fit for us! We used the grand ballroom for our ceremony and reception. The space worked perfectly for both! We also rented the moorish room for cocktail hour. Both rooms are very spacious and beautiful! Our service was very prompt and spot on from the time we first sat down with Jax to the very end! Our food was delicious to! I would recommend The Greysolon Ballroom to anyone and everyone!

I highly recommend Greysolon for your out of town wedding. They took care of everything for us, and it was beautiful and so well organized. We had the ceremony, dinner and dance in the Moorish room. When they ask if you want the decorations, say Yes! It was so pretty, and we didn't have to mess with that, I appreciated that they took a sincere interest in my new daughter in law's wants and advised her specifically about what worked with other weddings. Having the courtyard with the fountain to mingle in while they reset the room for dinner was lovely as well. It was the holidays, so it was also very nicely decorated. The food was excellent! We had a buffet and everything was fresh and hot. I also was so pleased that whenever we asked for something, the answer was always a yes, and they were eager to make everything work. Don't let the 10am rehearsal scare you. It was perfect. We also did the Grooms dinner at the Blackwoods the night before, and that was a great success. Have the Sheraton shuttle your group to that. Excellent caring service!
