The Story Behind The Trellis: A Shelly Cook Renovation

Shelly Cook, the owner of Servants Hands Construction, has always cherished restoring buildings to their former glory. Her eye for design led to several renovation and restoration projects in her hometown of Front Royal, VA - The Trellis being one of them.

Shelly's belief that you can "blend old and new together" is exactly what she has done with The Trellis Venue.

History of The Trellis

The Trellis has historic roots, originally built in the 1940s. It was founded as a motor lodge, known as "Wilson's Motor Court". Construction on the property began in 2022 and wrapped up in 2023 with the completion of The Trellis.
