Timeless Treasures: Celebrating Love and Legacy at the Inn of Chagrin

Taking time to enjoy the company of our guests is what we treasure the most. The stories we hear and the memories they share are truly an honor. One particular story stands out as one of the coolest moments we've experienced at the Inn of Chagrin.

We often host wedding guests, and the excitement is palpable throughout the weekend as they head to rehearsal dinners, brunches, and the wedding itself. On one Saturday morning, as wedding guests gathered in the lobby to catch the trolley to the ceremony, the groom made his way downstairs. He looked dashing in his tuxedo, but what caught my eye was the chain of a pocket watch draped across his vest. Curious, I commented on how cool it looked, assuming it was a watch tucked into his pocket.

With a smile of pride, the groom pulled out the watch and shared its story. “This is my great-grandfather's watch,” he explained. “It’s been passed down to me. It’s from the late 1800s.” As we marveled at the history of this beautiful piece, an older gentleman entered the room, his face beaming with pride. “That was my grandfather’s watch,” he said.

The groom spoke about how much of an honor it was to wear such a special piece on his wedding day, and we were equally honored to learn about this family treasure and the memories attached to it.
