Beautiful Summer Wedding Venue
The most picturesque wedding venue with professional, friendly, and attentive staff that made our day unforgettable. The food was incredible… our friends and family still rave about it. We truly had the wedding of our dreams here!
Incredible Wedding Experience
From the moment we booked our wedding at the Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa, their team was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and attention to detail really stood out - Kim and team took care of all the logistics so that my husband and I could be fully present and enjoy our special day. Our guests are still raving about the breathtaking venue and great food. We are so grateful to the Inns of Aurora team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.
10/10 RECOMMEND!!!
The Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected with Kim and the team, they were incredibly easy to communicate with and responsive to all our questions and needs. Their world-class service and attention to detail truly made our wedding day feel effortless and magical. As out-of-town guests, we booked the venue sight unseen, but Kim and the entire IOA team went above and beyond to bring all our wedding dreams to life. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and team to celebrate our special day with!!!
An amazing wedding weekend
Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe the experience we had with our wedding at the Inns of Aurora. We cannot thank Kim, Breanna, Alistair, Taylor, Julia, and the entire team enough for making everything seamless from start to finish. They handled every detail, answered every question, and made the entire process effortless. What stood out most, though, was how genuinely warm and welcoming everyone was. The venue itself is breathtaking. We planned everything at the Rowland House, and it was the perfect size for our party of 30. The house, property, and rooms were beautiful—living up to the photos and then some. And the food was absolutely delicious; everything that came out of the kitchen felt both home-cooked and elevated. If you’re looking for a place that’s not only beautiful but also filled with people who make your day feel truly special, this is it.
