An absolute dream!

Our wedding at INOLA was nothing short of perfect! Everyone who works there was so accommodating, sweet, and ready to help make it the best day ever! We stayed the whole weekend- Susie & Rick were always reachable and were a big part of why our day was so great! Every area and building was beautifully up kept for our arrival. Ivy, our wedding planner included in our package was the BEST and made the day run so smoothly. Each of their preferred vendors was also amazing - all of them knew each-other from previous weddings, and therefore worked great together! It was truly the best weekend ever- we cannot/ do not want to imagine getting married anywhere else.
