Beautiful Carefree Wedding

The venue was perfect for our candlelight wedding and dinner reception. Both rooms are gorgeous when decorated and prepared. The staff, especially Chastity was incredibly helpful and offered so much assistance that we did not worry a bit about anything. To have a carefree wedding like that was wonderful for us. Thanks Vinton War Memorial for a memorable and enchanting evening!

One of my very favorite venues in the Roanoke Valley! The newly renovated Vinton War Memorial is an exquisitely appointed venue that makes it perfect for a wonderful engagement party, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception. And while the venue is wonderful, it is far surpassed by the staff - so friendly and helpful, always ready to make your event the best possible!!

We always enjoy working at the Vinton War Memorial because the staff is always so friendly and on the ball, which helps make the evening move along smoothly. The renovation was definitely the best thing the War Memorial could have done to improve its status as a modern and stylish venue for any event. If you haven’t seen the War Memorial since it’s been renovated, it’s definitely worth a look!
