Aim

At THE I DO INN, we specialize in dream weddings, strong cocktails and even stronger roles for women! Welcome to your happily ever...after?


Welcome to THE I DO INN! We are so happy that you have chosen our venue to fulfill your dreams!

When you arrive, you will be greeted by Mel, (Brittani Minnieweather), our sassy, southern manager who gives zero f***s and makes the best dress bustle this side of the Mississippi. 

Serving up haute cuisine is Tommy (Enoch King), a man of few words who's never left Hollins North Carolina. 

Need a drink to take the edge off? Megan Hayes is happy to serve you cocktails and smiles. And yes! She does look familiar. She's played many memorable roles in film and television including PINK-FACED WOMAN and SNICKERDOODLE MOTHER. 

Rounding out our staff we have, Brittany (Kristyn Foran) our resident high schooler whose Mom got her the job. 

Pulling from an incredible talent pool primarily from Atlanta Georgia, THE I DO INN is giving creative opportunities to women, women over 40, and marginalized voices, as well as creating first-time chances to many of our crew who are expanding their skills in new roles. How cool is that???

With your help, we bring this series to fruition. No donation is too small or too big. Times are hard right now. Megan is a prime example of that. She never thought after a 20 year absence she would return to bartending. Nor did she think she would be the oldest one in the room, but here we are! 

Our budget is small but mighty. Most of us are working for the love of the project, and everyone is working for well below their day rates. How lucky are we to find such amazing talent who want to check into THE I DO INN?
