Outstanding in every way

Having our wedding at the Williamsburg Inn took what is typically one of the most stressful events in life and made it simple. Every decision was presented in an orderly fashion and made our lives so much easier. Nothing was ever “off the table”, and I cannot say enough nice things about their staff. Always supportive, prompt, willing to go any mile, and never made us feel pressured. Truly, they made the best day of our lives as easy as possible and exactly what we envisioned. They adjusted to our needs and put us first always. Yuani the main coordinator, had exquisite attention to detail, and Lindsay with florals met with us several times to assure the vision was absolutely perfect. The tasting and food were amazing, and the pastry chef took an enormous amount of time to get our unique cake just right. Truly, you can’t go wrong with this team. Cannot recommend enough.

Rehearsal Dinner at Shields Tavern

I can’t say enough good things about our event at Shields. It was perfect in every way thanks to Liz and her team. While the price tag is typical of Colonial Williamsburg, I would highly recommend them. Our dinner was turnkey and stress free allowing us to enjoy the evening with our guests.
If I had to do it again I wouldn’t change a thing.

Amazing venue!

Working with the Williamsburg Inn / Lodge for our wedding was amazing. They have a wide variety of event spaces that are all beautiful and well maintained. All spaces are close by and allow for easy movement through the entire day. The events team at the Inn/Lodge is top notch and will go above and beyond to make sure all the small details are taken care of.
