The Whitlock Inn Reviews

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!

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!

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.

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!

The Whitlock Inn is a beautiful venue - indoors and out. The staff are very knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend them.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism and effort made by everyone at the Whitlock Inn to make my wedding day as perfect as it was. I would absolutely recommend this beautiful venue to any bride looking for a great location with an amazing staff. They are very responsive and flexible right til the day of your wedding. I had a lot of rain the morning of my wedding but we made a last minute call to have my ceremony out from under our tent since the rain stopped and their team worked hard to quickly move all of our chairs into position! Lindsey was my day of coordinator and she went above and beyond from always being available via phone/email to actually helping us transport items after our wedding was over. The icing on the cake to all of this is how beautiful the house and backyard is all year round. Go see for yourself!

I am so glad I came across the Whitlock Inn. From the moment I walked in I knew this was the venue I had to say my vows in. From its wonderful history flowing throughout the inn to the gorgeous flowers in the garden, the Whitlock Inn was completely unique and full of character. I loved working with Rhonda and Alexis, they were both incredibly professional and were so detailed oriented. They made sure I never had any questions left unanswered, they made me feel so comfortable, and the entire wedding went off without a single hitch! The wedding coordinator that they have on site, Janice, was phenomenal and helped in every way possible, the caterers used in house were fantastic, and every meeting I had with them made me even more excited to use them for my ceremony and reception. Everything was perfect and stress-free, and also very affordable and covered so much! They made everything so easy!

The Whitlock Inn made everything so easy for our wedding! The venue was absolutely beautiful, service was beyond words, and all of their preferred vendors were excellent. Alexis helped with our wedding and was so sweet and caring from the very first time we walked into the venue! There were numerous times I stopped by the venue during planning and spoke with Rhonda And all though she was not the one working on our wedding night you would never know it, she was so helpful. These ladies make you feel like family and will help you every step of the way! The Whitlock Inn was a great venue and I cant get over how helpful the staff was!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Whitlock proved to be a beautiful sitting for our Daughter and Son in Law’s Wedding. Our guest told us how wonderful the Whitlock Inn looked; how much they enjoyed the delicious food and the hospitality of the staff. We all had a experience that exceeded our dreams.

Our wedding at the Whitlock couldn't have been more beautiful! Alexis, Rhonda, and Janice were incredibly warm and made planning all the details of the day so much easier. When you walk in to view the venue it's hard not to fall in love with all the Victorian/antebellum style the inn has to offer. Plus, they have so much already included in their wedding packages that it saved us a ton on decorations. You can rest easy knowing that the Whitlock team specializes in weddings so no matter what happens your guests will be too impressed with the atmosphere and food to even notice. Simply put, without the Whitlock our special day wouldn't have been the same- thank you guys for your hand in our happily ever after!:)

Our wedding and reception at the Whitlock Inn couldn’t have been any better. From the planning of all the details to the last dance, it was perfect. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. The venue is beautiful and charming. The food was delicious and the presentation was so nice. If you are looking for a place to have your wedding, you should definitely look at the Whitlock Inn. It is just wonderful! Yes

We had an awesome experience with the Whitlock Inn for my daughter's wedding in July 2018. We only had about four months to plan the wedding, and luckily, the Whitlock was available. They were great from the planning to the execution of the ceremony and reception. Alexis and Rhonda were very helpful leading up to the wedding with advice on planning, and Janice, our wedding director, was just wonderful with the rehearsal and the day-of arrangements. They provided so much that we were able to relax and enjoy the wedding and reception! We highly recommend the Whitlock Inn!

The Whitlock was 100% the perfect place for our wedding. I (the bride) am a medical student, and we had to plan everything from out of town, so we were not without challenges. If it hadn't been for wonderful staff (Alexis and Rhonda) at Whitlock, we wouldn't have had half the beautiful wedding we had. They also gave great vendor recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised to have "day-of" support from Janice, our wedding director. She handled a down-pour thunderstorm moments before the outdoor ceremony like it was nothing, and took such good care of day-of family drama that we didn't even know about it until the following day. We cannot thank Whitlock enough. If you want a beautiful wedding with supportive staff that is also budget-friendly, YOU SHOULD GO TO THE WHITLOCK INN!

From the very beginning, my husband and I had a feeling the Whitlock Inn would be our wedding venue. From the beautiful outdoor courtyard to the open and light reception area, Whitlock had everything we could possibly want. While they require you to use Carriage House catering, I can tell you it's a great choice. We have gotten so many compliments on the food and the venue. You cannot go wrong with the Whitlock. Everyone there was outstanding and made sure our day was absolutely perfect.

Gorgeous venue! The staff was extremely organized and helpful. They were very accommodating and helped make our day very special. The all inclusive package worked really well and helped to eliminate unneeded stress.

The Whitlock Inn gave us the wedding of our dreams! With all the beautifully decorated rooms, big front porch, gorgeous garden, and rich history, it is the perfect place for a celebration. All of our guests raved about it! Still, the best part of a wedding at the Whitlock Inn is the people. Alexis and Rhonda are incredibly kind, patient, and experienced. Thanks to them, I did not sweat the details in the days leading up to or the day of the wedding - they went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect day. Alexis was even there to help calm my nerves before I walked down the aisle. The whole day still feels like a dream. Aside from marrying my best friend, the best decision I made was selecting the Whitlock Inn as our venue.

The Whitlock Inn is a total must if you are looking for a wedding or reception venue. My partner and I held both are wedding and reception there and we couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place. Janice and Alexa are amazing individuals and will wholeheartedly take care of you from day 1 to that special day. We could not have expected anything more. Please check out the venue, you will never regret it.

We had a tremendous experience with the Whitlock Inn and team. I was doing the planning from another state and they made it super easy. Everything came out as we planned and hoped - even better really. The venue is absolutely beautiful, we did the wedding outside and had to make a last minute call on the weather. They were super flexible. Every single person we talked with throughout the planning and event was so professional and nice. All of our guests commented on how wonderful everything was - the food was absolutely wonderful and we had plenty for our guests. Just all very easy for us to work with. I would not have changed a thing!

I am still on my post-wedding high after my unbelievable Whitlock Inn wedding! First, the Inn is a beautiful place to have your wedding! We got married in the backyard and, even in March, there were flowers blooming! We had our reception in the ballroom. We brought in our own decor, and the staff made sure that everything looked great! Even the bathrooms are gorgeous in this place! It's also in a great location, close to hotels and the Marietta Square.
Second, the service from everyone was great, Alexis and Rhonda were helpful in answering questions along the way and letting me know when it was time to contact other vendors. Janice, the day-of wedding director, was a superstar! She made me feel at ease in the week leading up to the wedding, and then ensured that everything went off without a hitch! She made sure to check with me about all the details in advance, so on the day of, we had nothing to worry about except having a wonderful time! It is obvious that they do this all the time, and they have the process down.
The food and cake came from their in-house caterer, and everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We went with the heavy appetizer option and they were very generous with the amount of food! Being able to bring your own alcohol, and decide beer/wine versus full bar was also a great way to save money without sacrificing anything that was important to us.
Overall, the Whitlock Inn exceeded my expectations in every way! I would highly recommend this venue!

When your daughter gets engaged, run, don't walk, to the Whitlock Inn to book her special day. After a church ceremony, we held the reception at the Inn. Alexis, Rhonda, and Janice made the planning fun and stress free. Decorated for Christmas, the Inn was absolutely beautiful. The only thing I had to concern myself with at the reception was having fun. Janice made sure every detail of the reception was taken care off. The food and cake were delicious, and the flowers on the buffet table were stunning. One guest shared that other than his own wedding, Katie's was the best he had ever attended! If I could only choose one word to describe the day, it would be magical. Thanks Whitlock Inn for helping to make my daughter's dream wedding a reality.
