    The Griffin Inn was the perfect classic, historic, and charming venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, the team was a delight to work with - their attention to detail and ease of communication made the planning process seamless. On the day, the venue looked absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We found the pricing affordable but without compromising on quality. The Griffin Inn was truly a gift to our special day, and we are so grateful to have celebrated at this stunning, one-of-a-kind location.

    Five star, unique experience! There is no other venue in Door County that features a 125 year old lodge, on its original 5 acres, with authentic, "Dark Sky", old Door County charm!
