We went to a wedding here on a beautiful November afternoon, and this place is just wonderful. I wasn't able to see the entire breadth of the grounds, but what I did see was a truly elegant experience.
The drive up to the Inn is pretty easy-- you get off the highway, go through a couple neighborhoods and you're there. It's completely enclosed in trees (even though it's right around the corner from the U of A stadium), and they offer a decent size parking lot for your parties to park.
The only thing that is slightly confusing is that there is no one there to guide you where to go. There was more than one wedding going on the day that we were there, and although there are signs that guide you where to park, there aren't signs guiding you to where your party is located.
But regardless of that, when you walk up to the Inn itself, there is a beautiful fountain and quaint landscaping that surrounds a circular driveway. The porch on the building is superb-- something right out of the old south, complete with ceiling fans and all. They offer seating on the porch as well as a TV! Our party was located around the porch on a flagstone porch that led into a dining room. On the flagstone porch they had the wedding chairs set up and a nice little set up for the bridal party to stand under. When the ceremony was over we had to carry the white chairs ourselves (kind of ghetto in my opinion) into the dining area to eat.
Inside the dining room, they offered a nice fall-esque set up on each table complete with candles and pumpkins. The food was all buffet style with southern food and finger food, which was brought in by the bridal parties.
The place was really nice overall, especially for outdoor weddings-- if you're a spectator. I'm not sure how the process went for the booking of the wedding. But I was pleased as a visitor.
