Couldn’t have been any more perfect!

We had our dream wedding at the Greystone Inn, everything was taken care of and we really couldn’t have asked for more.. Kristen, their even planner was amazing to work with.. super responsive and helped with every detail to make sure our day went smoothly. We had our ceremony by the lake and were able to enjoy dinner and dancing in their private dining room that has a deck facing the lake.. truly beautiful location… and the food 100 percent recommend!!

Unforgettable perfectly “us” weeekend

We had a small, intimate wedding weekend at The Greystone. We were able to personalize ther weekend to exactly what we wanted. Kristin and the restaurant staff were incredibly attentive to us and our guests. The planning process was fun, easy and mostly seamless. The meals were delicious, the vibe was fun, and the everyone seemed to have a nice time. I had my heart set on utilizing Miss Lucy, the historic wooden boat, however a mechanical issue stoped that from happening.this was really my only disappointment for the Weekend as there wasn’t much priority to getting the issue resolved. With my suggestion, the staff helped me pivot to a different activity for our guests which was helpful. We had a few activities planned at the adjacent country club. This is where the flexibility wasn’t quite as easy but we were able to work everything out once we got on site For the event. We had an unforgettable weekend that was exactly “us”. Thank you to the Greystone. We look forward to celebrating here for years to come.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
