When choosing our venue, we knew we wanted somewhere that was special to us. We found Inola during one of our visits to Blue Ridge and instantly fell in love! Driving in down the winding road, seeing the pond, beautiful landscaping and historical buildings is truly magical. Susie and Rick Skelton have done an amazing job curating Inola and their love for the property and what they do is evident everywhere you look. We truly loved working with them. They are extremely helpful in recommending vendors, making suggestions and helping the wedding day run smoothly. Our experience with them was wonderful in every way. We chose the chapel for our wedding and the tavern for our reception. We had 50 guests and both venues accommodated everyone comfortably. They even provided a golf cart for guests to go in between the wedding and reception. I got ready in the beautiful bridal suite at the Wythe Estate. The photos taken in there turned out beautifully! After the wedding, we spent the night in the beautiful honeymoon suite above the tavern. It was so nice to be able to just walk upstairs after dancing all night. It was luxurious and very comfortable. Inola exceeded our expectations and I couldn't have asked for a prettier venue. I look back on our photos almost daily and I'm in awe of how beautiful our wedding day was. -

My husband and I eloped in June and had a wedding reception in September at the Wetherburn Tavern at the Inola venue in Blue Ridge. It was a wonderful and positive experience from the planning to the event! The venue provided an exceptional backdrop for our reception, offering a charming and welcoming atmosphere. I can not emphasize how amazing Susie's attention to detail was and her list of preferred vendors is excellent. This and the elegance of Wetherburn Tavern, undoubtedly contributed to the success of our special day. It's great when a venue exceeds expectations and creates lasting memories. Cheers to wonderful celebrations at Inola! -

Our wedding venue hunt began in 2022 when we first got engaged. After many disappointing venue tours, we stumbled upon Inola in Blue Ridge, GA. I reached out to Susie and set up a venue tour. From the moment we drove onto the property, my visions started to run wild and I knew immediately this was my wedding venue. Susie was such a pleasure to work with from the second we met her all the way through and after our wedding day. The property itself is perfectly maintained and manicured. There are endless opportunities throughout the property to bring your dream wedding/event to life. Our guests and vendors were in complete "awe" driving down the lantern-lit pebbled driveway up to the Wythe Estate the day of the wedding. I have received endless compliments and kudos from all of the guests as to how beautiful the venue and the entire day was. I could not recommend Inola, Susie, and the "dream team" enough. Inola is one-of-a-kind that will forever hold a special place in my heart! -

If you are ever in the Blue Ridge area and have the time to view the beautiful grounds of INOLA you should. From the entrance down the pebble road, to the beautiful greenery surrounding each building on the property it is absolutely stunning. We had the privilege of having our wedding there on good Friday this year. We booked the all inclusive package because we both work out of town and the package offered all of the things that would be harder to get done being 1100 miles away. Susie and Rick, the owners of INOLA and Ivy Ferguson (Wedding Coordinator) were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. They were always very responsive and went above and beyond to make our weekend magical. They even checked in with us when we didn’t have questions. They opened up there entire home and property to us and allowed us and our guest to hangout and have fun the entire weekend without feeling like we were invading there space, which made it even more enjoyable. I cannot say enough about how beautiful this property is, we are truly thankful for them and all of the staff that made our wedding an unforgettable once in a lifetime dream that became an enchanting and unforgettable reality!INOLA Blue Ridge's reply:
Olivia,
Thank you for all of your kind words and compliments! Rick and I have the best job in the world. We get to share in making one of the most wonderful day of people's lives a reality! We loved hosting you, your family and friends for the weekend at INOLA! Everyone had such a great time and were super fun and respectful of the property.
We thank you and hope you come back one day to celebrate an anniversary.
XOXO,
Rick & Susie -

Beautiful venue for a wedding
I had my wedding in mid Oct and it was the most beautiful venue and most amazing wedding! Susie and Ivy were very helpful with coordinating the wedding and had so many compliments about the unique venue. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking at Blue Ridge/ north Georgia. We can’t say enough how beautiful and amazing it was!INOLA Blue Ridge's reply:
Alyssa,
You and Josh are such an amazing couple. We loved hosting your wedding! You chose the prettiest weekend of the year I do believe! We are so honored that you chose Inola and it means the world to us that you both were so happy! Thank you for your kind words. Please come visit us when you are back in town!
XOXO,

Lauren L. Sent on 12/08/2022Beautiful Venue, Cost Effective, Outstanding Service
Firstly, Susie, the properly owner, provides outstanding customer service. She’s personable, easy to reach, and responsive via text, email, or phone. She made it so easy to coordinate the wedding and answer any questions. We made multiple updates to our wedding package and she did a great job staying on top of it.
This is a property with multiple options for your wedding weekend. The landscape is kept well, the scenery is beautiful, and the space feels very private. The tavern was used for our rehearsal dinner (50 people). There was plenty of kitchen space and seating. We really enjoyed the patio and yard for games! Bridal party stayed in the recently renovated Wythe Estate. The rooms are gorgeous, fun, and cozy! It was the perfect place to stay with my bridal party. If you’re the bride, stay in the room with the window that overlooks the formal garden. The morning video is breathtaking. The formal garden seats were provided by the venue. Even though we had 150-160 attend our wedding, the space felt so spacious that the wedding felt like a smaller intimate one. The garden was converted to a cocktail hour space that extended into the apple orchard. People checked out the lake too. The white tent is huge and spacious. They recently redid their floor which is really nice. The lighting was provided and the space again, felt spacious! At night, the gardens/outdoor space were beautifully lit. It was an absolutely gorgeous venue that everyone loved.
P.S. don’t waste your time looking for a cheaper place for your rehearsal dinner. INOLA’s price can’t be beat. Blue ridge restaurants charge a LOT for renting out space.INOLA Blue Ridge's reply:
Lauren,
I am speechless! You are so thoughtful and kind! You and Andrew were an absolute pleasure to work with. It is such an honor to be part of the most magical day in a couple's life. You both were just radiant and obviously so in love.
Thank you for choosing INOLA for your wedding celebration and for recommending us so highly!
Please come visit soon!
XOXO,

This past weekend my son and bride had their wedding at INOLA and I cannot say enough about the charm and elegance of this venue and the kindness and warmth of Susie, the owner and her team. The beauty of the colonial-style backdrop, along with the mountain-like landscape and setting provided a "destination wedding" without the extra travel and expense. The whole weekend was an unique experience and I mean that in a very positive way. You will not be disappointed.INOLA Blue Ridge's reply:
Cheryl,
It was such a true pleasure spending time with you and your beautiful family and a joy hosting the rehearsal dinner and wedding! Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words, it means the world to Rick and I.

We were very pleased to have our daughters wedding reception at Inola. The grounds are so beautiful with an Old Williamsburg feel, not to mention you have such a variety of gorgeous natural backdrops for the phots, and they turned out amazing. The Owners & Staff at Inola were very professional and hands on for the entire evening. Drinks were served in the garden, then we moved in to the Tent area for dinning & dancing which was perfect for our guest to social distance and be safe. I can't say enough about Ivy Ferguson (wedding Planner) who did an outstanding job of decorating and making Katy & Gregg's wedding reception so beautiful.
Thank you Inola!! -

Hidden gem but not for long!
I can’t say enough about how beautiful, special and magical our daughter’s wedding was at Inola! The grounds are beyond beautiful, the greenery, lights, gardens, and the large tent made the night so perfect for our wedding of over 200 people! Inola is such a unique venue, far enough from Atlanta to give guests an easy night getaway but close enough if guests do not want to stay. Having accommodations for bridal party and family on property made such a huge difference. Golf carts to go back and forth made things easy and fun. Bridal suite is simply gorgeous! I love that Rick and Susie live on site and are there to help with any issues and are continuously expanding Inola with new visions to make the day perfect for every bride!INOLA Blue Ridge's reply:
Laurie,
You have such a genuinely warm and courteous family. Ansley and Trent are a beautiful couple and we adored hosting their wedding! Thank you for your kind words! Rick and I love what we do and are thrilled when our guests are elated with our service, property and accommodations. The Wythe Estate 2nd floor king suites are now open and we had our first bridal party stay for the weekend! Come back and visit us anytime!

Amazing, Beautiful Venue!
Inola was the most beautiful wedding venue I could have dreamed of! The grounds and buildings reflected a classic garden themed wedding and we had the most amazing weekend renting it out for my wedding and rehearsal.The cottages on-site were great for family and friends to stay, and the tent fit our large wedding of over 200+ easily. Susie and her team are extremely kind and helpful and went out of their way to make this weekend so special. Cannot say enough good things about how gorgeous this venue is. -
