In the 1890s, the M.G. Whitlock House, the famous 150 room Marietta resort, burned to the ground. It had been a popular showplace for tourists taking the train from the hot coastal towns to the cooler foothills of Georgia. The resort occupied nearly the whole block of Whitlock Avenue. In 1900, part of the land was purchased by Herbert C. Dobbs and his wife Annie where the built a Victorian mansion for their family of eight. Since then, the Whitlock Inn has served as a beloved family home, senior citizen center, bed & breakfast, and today, an award-winning event facility. For over 120 years these walls have held a history of love stories, and we can’t wait for ours to be one of them!
Our reception will feature a station-style dining experience, with a variety of chef-curated food stations available throughout the evening. Enjoy delicious bites at your own pace as you mix, mingle, and dance the night away. We can’t wait to celebrate the start to our forever with you!
