Beautiful venue and amazing staff!

We are so so glad we went with The Whitlock Inn for our wedding reception! If the last time you saw it was before it was remodeled late 2020, you need to go see it again. This venue is so beautiful, charming and elegant. The ladies, Kathy, Janice, Lauren and Rhonda are amazing! They are so sweet and every time you talk to them you feel special. They were always available to answer any questions we had, before booking them and after booking them. Everything we discussed with Lauren and Janice on wedding details, happened just as discussed on wedding day! We had our ceremony at our church but had cocktail hour and reception here. We had a bad experience at another venue we explored before we found the Whitlock Inn and when I met Kathy for the tour it was so touching to meet someone who cares about you and your day, you could say she reinstated my faith in people who are in the wedding industry. In other words, if you are looking for a classy, elegant, charming and a touch of the South, go with The Whitlock Inn, you won’t be disappointed!

The best out there!

We hosted our wedding reception here and it was WONDERFUL! I can't recommend it enough.

The property and home are to die for gorgeous!! It has had some updates and they are beautiful, but still fit with the theme of the historic home.

The owners and other staff were so great, kind and very quick to answer questions our million questions. They organized many things for us which was so helpful, such as tent rental and setup, alcohol arrival, setup of vendors. One less thing you have to do! They were fair, attentive and thought of all the details to help us.

This is a great all inclusive venue and very fairly priced after we did a lot of searching. I would give it ten stars if I could. Do yourself a favor and go visit if you are looking for a venue.

Perfect Wedding Day!

We FINALLY had our wedding at this beautiful location on May 16. I was one of the "lucky" Covid brides. We were originally planning our wedding for April 2020. We moved our date to August and had to move again to May of 2021. The staff at The Whitlock Inn were absolutely amazing through the whole thing. Rhonda was fantastic to work with through the whole experience. She was quick to respond to all our questions and
concerns with a kind and understanding demeanor. When the day finally arrived Janice had the whole thing running as smooth as silk. After a year of craziness the wedding day went off without a hitch, fully due to their amazing staff. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen and I'm so thankful it was mine! Highly recommend!

A Dream Come True

The Whitlock Inn makes dreams come true. From our very first tour to the farewell sendoff after our ceremoy, it was nothing short of spectacular. The venue is elegant, classic, timeless. The staff is AMAZING, professional, excellent and makes you feel like family throughout the entire process! Could not give a higher recommendation with more gratitude than our recommendation for the Whitlock Inn!

Wonderful staff to work with and a great venue!

We had such a great experience working with Alexis and her staff. After we discovered the Whitlock, my then-fiance called Alexis for information and set up a time for my mom and I to tour the place. We booked our wedding before we left the place that day. Our wedding planner, Janice, was very helpful with organizing the details of the day. She even checked out a nail salon for me to take my bridal party to the day before our wedding, and she was also understanding when we had to make some last minute changes to our schedule. We had a wonderful wedding at a beautiful venue, and received so many compliments from people on the location. Thank you all for the wonderful memories you gave us at the start of our new life together!! The Whitlock Inn will always have a special place in our hearts!

Perfect wedding at the Whitlock Inn!

We had a wonderful experience at the Whitlock Inn. My daughter got married at the Whitlock in an afternoon ceremony at the end of November. Alexis (owner) and Janice (wedding coordinator) took care of everything. The facility is absolutely beautiful. The ceremony was held on the brick steps at the back of the house which provided a beautiful setting and the reception was held inside the ballroom. We had many compliments on the food, cake, and lovely facility. The weather was picture perfect and I can't think of better place to have a wedding.

Beautiful, stress-free wedding!

I can't tell you how happy I was to have chosen Whitlock Inn as my venue! They stood out immediately after we saw 3 or 4 other venues - it's the perfect place to host weddings, but didn't feel like a wedding "factory" as many others did. We ultimately chose Whitlock because of the close proximity to Marietta Square (where we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner as well), the spacious floor plan, beautiful back yard, and the extremely reasonable pricing. We initially worked with Rhonda, who is so energetic and funny, and she patiently walked us through everything and was so patient with all of our questions. After we put our deposit down, the rest was a breeze - very well coordinated and convenient. All of the ladies I contacted and worked with were so gracious and made me feel like I was their only bride! Our wedding day turned out so beautifully and everything went as planned. I really, really enjoyed our magical (and stress-free!) day, and that is owed in huge part to everyone at Whitlock Inn and Carriage House catering. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Our wedding was perfect!

My husband and I (still feels weird writing that) were recently married at The Whitlock Inn and we could not have had a better experience. There are so many reasons why The Whitlock Inn was the best pick for us, but the number one reason is for the service we received. Alexis, Rhonda, and Janice were all so wonderful and were so patient with all of our questions. These three ladies were there for us through every step of the process and they truly cared about us and making our day perfect.

The service we received was such a plus, but before we knew how great they were, there were several things that were drawing us towards choosing The Whitlock Inn as our venue. The first was that it was conveniently located (within a mile) near a large hotel that could house all of our out of town guests. It was important to us that our guests were close by. Secondly, it is located across the street from the Marietta Square, which would provide many food options for our guests. We needed to make sure everyone was well fed as that is the proper Southern thing to do. Lastly, the venue was beautiful and has a deep history. After recently moving to Marietta, we wanted to share the history of our town and the beauty of the Inn with all of our guests.

The Best Experience

Our wedding at The Whitlock Inn was just perfect! I loved the charm of the house as well as the backyard space. Alexis, Rhonda, and Janice were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. You can tell they truly care about your event. They were always on top of things during the different stages of planning and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone having a wedding or any other event!
