The Woodland Place provides a newly-renovated space for couples seeking their ideal Vinton venue.
Whether you’ve always pictured your wedding day as a big family affair, or prefer a more intimate, laidback setting, Vinton is the perfect place to get married.
For brides who love a traditional day, the Vinton War Memorial offers a lovely setting in their historic space, with hardwood floors, custom chandeliers, side patio and more – and don’t forget great photos by their LOVEworks sign! Community Programs Director Chasity Barbour says the timeless venue’s recent updates include remodeled kitchen and floors; updated offices with new floors and more space; and complete renovations to both the groom’s room and bridal suite.
“We are very fortunate to have a historic venue that is centered in the region with a staff that has over 20-plus years of experience to assist you in making memories that will last a lifetime!” Barbour says.
The Woodland Place is also celebrating more modern updates. General manager Samantha Sutphin says since taking over in 2018, their staff has been busy creating new looks all over the property, including a spacious bridal suite, updated kitchen and bar with new appliances and decor and even new hardwood flooring, creating an open, clean area flowing from downstairs to ballroom for a more customizable area for couples. They also increased their landscaping with new trees, plants and decor – perfect for those post-ceremony pictures!
“The Woodland Place is a great spot to get married because it allows a customizable day for the couple with convenience and flexibility to ease the stress of a wedding day,” Sutphin says. “We offer indoor and outdoor options that help combat with weather changes [and currently a pandemic]. All of our packages include a variety of linens and centerpieces to transform our ballroom into an individual look for every couples reception.”
Looking for more great options? Explore Park offers several unique options, while Boxtree Lodge/Braeloch/On the Glen at Glenburn Farms has a main lodge, gardens, decks and gazebos, while their landscape overlooking water and mountains will also make for an ideal photo background.
