Corduroy Inn & Lodge Reviews

My nephew and his bride to be chose Corduroy Inn for their August 2023 wedding and it was perfect. The view and the accommodations were outstanding...Since I helped plan and decorate the wedding, I worked closely with Jim Ed Roush and he made everything so easy and smooth...he is simply amazing to work with and has all the details covered. Jim Ed performed the ceremony and personalized it to the couple so perfectly that it felt as though he had known them forever. The waitstaff and bartenders were so nice and professional, and transformed the room so quickly and effortlessly (it seemed lol).
I highly recommend The Corduroy Inn & Lodge to anyone as a wedding venue and just an amazing place to stay in the beautiful WV hills. - Mandy P

We could not have imagined a better experience than we had at Corduroy. Jim Ed was an incredible day-of-coordinator, taking care of all the details we couldn’t possibly keep top of mind throughout the day. Anytime we had a request - generally small/trivial things - he took care of it immediately and ensured that we not worry about it. His responsiveness in the several months leading up to the event was second to none. He consistently assisted in answering questions and/or otherwise helping out with a steady stream of planning requests about the venue throughout that time. No request ever felt off-limits, even if it was the first time they heard such a request. When I asked for a platform for the balcony for speeches the week before the wedding, he had one built within 24 hours. The event’s flow was nearly flawless, with guests providing a lot of positive feedback about implementation details and planning being excellent from the guest perspective. The food quality was excellent; we got tons of positive feedback from guests both regarding entrees and apps. The variety room type offerings as well as the food and venue offerings at the three on-property restaurants is wonderful. Every single staff member at the venue was kind, thoughtful, and went out of their way to meet guest needs. From Matt and Sonya at the front desk answering first-time guest questions to Katelyn at the bar making connections with our guests and bringing the fun to Chef Scott being willing to make anything we wanted for our after party, I cannot say enough positive things about the people who make up Corduroy. And the view… we were lucky enough to have an insanely clear day with a million-dollar sunset view on the balcony. We decided to do half our speeches on the mountain view balcony after cocktail hour to really take advantage of the view (highly recommend both logistically and for the view). I know I’ve mentioned the guest experience above but want to really hammer home the degree to which the staff went out of their way to provide a guest experience that surpassed their expectations and made their weekend memorable, personal, and special.

When my now-husband and I saw pictures of the stunning mountain view and beautiful ballroom we knew that this was where we wanted to get married. As soon as we met Jim Ed Roush, we knew wholeheartedly that we wanted him to coordinate our wedding. Jim Ed and his staff do an excellent job making sure everything is perfect, down to the last detail. The ballroom is lovely, and the staff’s efficiency at flipping the room from the wedding venue, in front of gorgeous mountain views, to a beautiful reception set up is amazing. The food was delicious, the rooms are quite comfortable. We absolutely loved having a destination wedding with our dearest friends and family all staying in the same place over the weekend. In addition, the hotel includes fun passes for your guests to explore Snowshoe Mountain! We had so many comments from our guests that this was one of the nicest weddings they had ever been to, everything flowed so smoothly. By the time the wedding was over Jim Ed felt more like a close friend than a wedding coordinator, we loved the whole wedding experience at the Corduroy Inn and Lodge, and highly recommend this venue!!

I cannot say enough about the Corduroy Inn! My now husband and I chose the Corduroy for our reception and booked in August of 2020, when the ballroom space was still being built. We were a little nervous about booking a venue that had not hosted any weddings yet, but we loved the location and the incredible views! Any concerns were quickly put to rest when we met the team at The Corduroy, especially Jim Ed! I could tell from our first meeting that he had years of experience working with weddings and that he would double check every detail as well as thinking of things that I would never have thought of. He absolutely went above and beyond both during the planning process and (especially) the day of the wedding! He was an absolutely crucial part of our day and many of my family members and wedding party crew said things like, "who is this guy that is taking care of everything? He's great!" I felt so much less stressed when I knew Jim was involved. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Our guests raved about the beauty of the ballroom and deck spaces as well as the hotel rooms. The food was delicious and the servers were prompt and professional. I loved being the only couple using the venue that weekend. I felt so special and we were taken care of so well. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Great people, beautiful setting, good food, luxurious and clean rooms for the couple and their guests.

Can’t say enough good things. The flexibility to move the ceremony indoors off the terrace at the last minute due to classic Snowshoe weather was key. And then, as the weather cleared in equally classic Snowshoe fashion, we were able to open up all the doors and have an indoor/outdoor venue! Jim Ed and team were fantastic, food was amazing, drink selection was awesome, and everyone had a wonderful time!

To say this venue is amazing is an understatement. Both my husband and I are from north central West Virginia and couldn’t find anything we loved where we are from or where we are currently living. My now husband suggested Snowshoe, and we stumbled on a brand new venue that wasn’t even open yet. We didn’t realize we were stumbling on the best decision we could have made. From the views to the staff to the food, everything was perfect. The views are breathtaking. The balcony and folding doors allow you to feel like you are able to flow throughout the venue with ease. It truly allows you to feel like you are having an outdoor wedding without being outdoors (or keep it indoors if that is what you wish). The clean decor of the room allows you to make it your own with ease. Chef Ed may be one of the most talented chefs in West Virginia especially when feeding 200 people. All of the food for the rehearsal, the day of the wedding, and the brunch the next day was absolutely spectacular. Even the late night pizza was amazing (highly recommend late night snacks!!). The staff at the corduroy are seriously top notch. They made sure everything was perfect for everyone. Every detail was looked at three or four times, and they did not hesitate to help is with whatever we needed. Their coordinators, Jim Ed and Lydia, made sure we were taken care of the entire time. They are upbeat and caring and always down for a laugh in the middle of a busy wedding day. They take charge when needed. Most of our guests complimented how amazing entire staff was all weekend. Honestly, I’m tearing up writing this because of how attentive they were to us. They worked so well with our wedding planner, Isabella Leon, to make our day everything we wanted. We had some off the wall ideas that they were happy to go along with, and we were so grateful for that considering a lot of venues hesitate to go off the standard. We have heard absolute rave reviews from all of our guests. From the accommodations at the hotel to the wedding itself, everything review from our guests were 5 out of 5 stars. Even a week later, people are still complimenting the wedding, venue and especially, the food. If you are from WV, this is probably one of the best wedding venues to show your guests how beautiful our state is. If you are not from WV, please come and enjoy all West Virginia has to offer. If we could give The Corduroy Inn more than 5 stars, we would. I could go on and on with everything they did for us in a three day span and everything they did before the wedding weekend, but I don’t think the review will let me write that much. Thank you again Corduroy! You made our wedding weekend perfect!
