A Warm Welcome for Your Wedding Party Host an intimate welcome party right at the venue, such as a picnic with our very own Winston-Salem Picnic Ladies. It’s the perfect way to kick off the weekend and introduce your bridesmaids or wedding party to the property’s charm. We host groups up to 6 guests! Need help planning? We have fabulous party planner recommendations including Che'Lu Events, our in-house sister duo.

Accommodations & Late Night Fun In addition to our on-site lodging at the Inn (sleeping 6), out-of-town guests will love staying close by with room blocks available at the luxurious Kimpton Cardinal Hotel (complete with its own rec room). Its central location and refined amenities make it a perfect fit for your wedding weekend. Plus, the Kimpton’s proximity to Winston-Salem’s vibrant bar scene offers a convenient option for after-party celebrations. To ensure your guests’ safety and ease of travel, we recommend renting the Triad Trolley to transport your group to and from the venue and their hotel. It’s a seamless way to keep the party going while making sure everyone gets back safely.

Glamping: For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, consider adding glamping to your wedding weekend. With The Pop-Up BNB (offering 10% off), you can elevate your celebration with luxurious, fully furnished canvas off-grid tent villages that can be set up right on our picturesque property during summer-fall months. Ideal for adventurous couples or guests looking for something unique, glamping offers the perfect blend of comfort and nature, complete with cozy beds, stylish décor, and all the essentials for a magical overnight stay under the stars. It’s an unforgettable way to immerse yourself in the beauty of our venue while creating lasting memories with your wedding party.

Rehearsal Dinner with a Twist Opt for a local dining experience at one of Winston-Salem’s top restaurants or elevate the evening with a private rehearsal dinner right at the venue (inquire for upgrade options). Our Bold Package gives you the flexibility to create the perfect pre-wedding celebration. Some of our couples' favorite rehearsal dinner restaurant spots include Spring House, Riverbirch Lodge, and Six Hundredº.

Memories Beyond the Wedding Day Explore nearby attractions like local wineries such as Medaloni Cellars, the Reynolda House gardens, or downtown Winston-Salem to make your wedding weekend even more memorable for guests.

Farewell Brunch to Say Thank You After a restful night at our Inn (check-out at 10am), you may like to wrap up the festivities with a farewell brunch, either at the Kimpton Cardinal's The Katharine Brasserie & Bar or another local gem. It’s a thoughtful way to spend quality time with your loved ones before they head home.

The Bold Package is more than just a wedding day—it’s an opportunity to turn your celebration into a full weekend affair that you and your guests will treasure forever. From luxurious accommodations and thoughtful transportation options to curated events throughout the weekend, this package is perfect for couples who want to make the most of their special time together.
