The Inn at Virginia Tech & Skelton Conference Center

This place was awesome! Everything about the reception location was perfect. The staff were attentive and everything was run smoothly.

I was very happy with the service we received from the Inn at Virginia Tech. My husband and I are both alumni of the University, so it was important for us to be married on campus. I thought the quality of service was excellent. They made us feel very special and the reception was handled seamlessly by the staff. I thought the food was great for the cost, and the bar actually had a better selection than I was expecting with the package we chose. They also recommended wonderful vendors for us to use for our flowers, cake, DJ, etc. I would highly recommend any Hokie use this venue.

Everything about our reception experience was wonderful, from the initial planning through the end of the reception as we drove off. The Inn is very professional and provides excellent quality of service, food, and general appearance. It was a bit expensive for us, but we were able to work with the event planner to provide food and drink that was within our budget. Had we gone with another venue and caterer I believe we could have provided more food, but for us, it was worth it to have the beauty of the Inn as well as have the entire package (food, service, linens, etc etc) without having to contract each out individually.

The Inn is a brand new hotel and conference center, built in summer 2005. We had our guest stayed at the Inn which is located on the Virginia Tech campus within walking distance to the War Memorial Chapel. We were lucky because we were able to take advantage of the brand new facility. Our guests were impressed with the building and its contempory look. I travel regularly for work and I can say that this facility is comparable to big hotel chains such as Marriott and Hilton's hotels. Katie was great to work with and always friendily and helpful and receptive to my endless questions. Our reception took place in the ballroom which had very high ceilings. We hired a company from Roanoke to drap the walls to give it a softer look however the wall by itself looked great as well with the decorative trims. We rented the dance floor, projector, and projector screen from the Inn along with other items: black chair cover, table linens, etc. Another key aspect of the reception was the food, I must say that coming from a big city in Northern Virginia my top concern was the quality of the food at the reception. However, the Inn exceeded my expectation by producing food that looked and tasted great. We did select additional food items (jumbo shrimp cocktail, scallop and lamb chops) to add to the cocktail package which the Inn offered. And it was definitely worth it. I feel that we were able to get the small town cost but the big city quality and variety. We received great review and praises from our guests. And they were impressed with the food that a small town hotel was able to deliver. The Inn was very flexible in accommodating our requests. And Katie was a pleasure to work with during the happiest time but possibly the most stressful time of one's life.

The Inn at Virginia Tech is an ideal location for the elegant wedding reception. This location offers the most "full service" option that I am aware of in the Blacksburg, Virginia area.

Known for award winning cuisine and impecable service, the Inn offers a spaious and elegant ballroom seating up to 700 guests. An event planner, chef, personal wedding staff, and banquet manager will work together to insure your special day is flawless.

The in house staff will help the bride pick the perfect menu for the reception. Linens, cake table, place cards, music, and decorations are all a part of what the staff can help the bride coordinate ahead of time for the big day.

The big additional suprise - A complimentary room for the Bride and Groom with a bottle of champagne.
