January Wedding at Golden Horseshoe Inn

We cannot say enough good things about the Golden Horseshoe Inn. Heather and Monique do an amazing job at understanding the vibe you want for your wedding. It was as simple as giving Heather our wedding colors and she put together decor that we absolutely loved. I never worried for one second that the venue wasn’t going to be decorated to my liking, they have quite an eye for the details. The day of the wedding, they were so great. They took care of our every need and truly served us. They made our special day even more magical. We highly recommend them for your wedding venue!

The best choice I ever made!

I cannot even put into words how special Heather and Monique are at GHI.

I was very hesitant to even have a wedding, so the thought of planning one sent me into an instant panic attack (typical millennial, right). I chose the afternoon tea wedding, and am so grateful I did. They bore the burden of all the details while ensuring I had a say to make it feel my own with my own special flare. The two of them make the perfect team, Heather was detail oriented and had the perfect vision while Monique was probably the only reason I made it through, she's so down to earth and helped calmed my nerves through the entire experience. They are truly good humans and the absolute best at what they do.

If you're like me and aren't one of those girls who dreamed their whole life of their wedding day and don't really have a clear vision or even begin to know where to start with planning your big day, I cannot recommend GHI enough, they help you every step of the way and the end result is breathtaking.

Stress-Free Dream Come True

Don't hesitate to book this venue!
As an anxious, Type A millennial I was beyond stressed when I started planning my wedding. Trying to find an affordable, beautiful place to hold it was quickly becoming overwhelming when I found the Golden Horseshoe Inn.
Their website spoke directly to me, toting an all-inclusive experience with full planning, which was too good to pass up.
My now husband and I jumped on the opportunity for a tour and let me just say it was love at first sight.
Heather, Monique and their staff made our day absolutely perfect. We had our planning meeting in which we picked out flowers, our cake (which is included! Can you believe that!), linens, our photography package and goals; the whole kit and caboodle really. By the time the Big Day arrived, we had a full itinerary which made the day stress free as I knew what was expected of me, when and where I would need to be.
The space to get ready in was a blessing as well. The Cabinet of Wonders had everything, including a curling iron small enough to mimic my natural curls and tuxedo studs! Truly a lifesaver as the location is a bit out of the way.
Our wedding was everything I ever dreamed of. The team took care of everything! They even fixed the time that catering arrived to make sure everything was perfect for my guests!
We also purchased their photography and videography packages which we also absolutely love. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and our video.
Overall, I'd give this place a 1000000/10 if I could. Absolutely perfect!

We always enjoy catering at the Golden Horseshoe Inn; the venue is an adorable, charming, romantic setting right outside Shenandoah National Forest. Heather Tusing and her staff are an absolute pleasure to work with to create an individualized approach to your "special day." Their attention to detail and customer satisfaction is of utmost importance. If you're planning a smaller wedding, 70 or less, you need to book with Heather!

When I play my harp for a wedding at the Golden Horseshoe Inn, I always look forward to a relaxed and well-planned event that might have been pulled out of a movie. The beautiful mountains, the historic home, the quiet intimate setting and the friendly team of professionals all pull together to create a truly magical experience for all!
