The Sewanee Inn really helped make my whole wedding weekend special!

Overall, I loved working with the Sewanee Inn. Though at times I felt the prices were a little high, as if you have the reception there they provide your food and alcohol so you can’t really do much bargaining or looking for deals, at the end of the day I would use them again and it was all worth it. The decorations they had in place for Christmas were stunning and I did not pay extra for them. The rooms are very nice and all my guests enjoyed their stay. The ballroom is a good size and can comfortably fit a band as well as about 20 tables which worked out well for my 180 person wedding. The outdoor space on the golf course is also beautiful though it was too cold to use it in the winter, but it is included and would be perfect for fall/summer/spring. The chef met with me personally at my tasting and was very helpful, and I had many positive comments from guests about the food. The team of servers and event coordinators were wonderful the weekend of and helped make sure everything went smoothly. I had no issues. The staff was also very helpful during the planning process and worked with me to schedule several conference calls which was appreciated as I lived far away. They were able to accommodate a special request for a late night snack which I really appreciated. Overall I felt like they wanted to help make the event special for me, and I really appreciated that. It was a wonderful weekend!
