    The Venue

    Indoor & Outdoor locations with Romantic Views
     

    The nostalgic Ashley Inn is the most romantic location for your indoor or outdoor destination wedding. Say your vows lakeside, under a weeping willow, on the front lawn of the antebellum mansion, or in a traditional tobacco barn. Our newly-constructed, fully-enclosed Carriage House is perfect for your reception, and comes equipped with all the facilities you need.

    The rental includes a bridal dressing room and exclusive use of our Carriage House with beautiful limestone patio. The structure is decorated with white lights and cocktail tables, weather permitting, and it has a men’s and women’s restroom, each with two stalls and a double sink vanity.
