The Inn at Willow Grove
A Vintage Estate with Impeccable Southern Style
Carefully preserved Southern charm and peaceful garden settings intersect at this enchanting boutique inn set on 40 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. Gather loved ones at the converted 18th century estate and spend a lavish wedding weekend cloaked in gracious hospitality.
Guests make themselves at home in comfortable cottages and suites individually furnished and decorated with inspired designs and antique flourishes. Spoil-yourself dashes include soaking tubs, heated bathroom floors, butler service, a house sommelier and gratis in-room coffee and pastries. A concierge is on hand to prepare your suite or plan a romantic tailored itinerary.
The Inn at Willow Grove checks all the boxes, delivering a range of polished venues for a special ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after-party and farewell brunch, all without ever leaving the magnificent Piedmont estate. Perfect wedding day flow falls into place as you walk down the aisle in the Boxwood Garden shaded by holly, magnolia and century-old boxwoods. Bubbling fountains and a hand-laid brick pathway lead to a custom-crafted pergola framing countryside views and the spacious red barn and surrounding wood and stone ruins are the idyllic canvas to paint your once-in-a-lifetime event.
