“Choosing The Inn at Blackstone as our wedding venue was truly one of the best decisions we made. I grew up in Blackstone, so I already had a connection to the property before it became the gorgeous hotel and event space it is today. Even so, I wasn’t sure a small-town venue could compete with some of the Richmond locations we toured — but we were completely blown away. The Inn is absolutely magical!
We instantly fell in love with its blend of historic charm and modern elegance. After seeing iconic spots like the grand front steps, the romantic courtyard, and the magnificent tree on the grounds (lovingly known as Sir James), we knew without a doubt that this was where we wanted to get married.
The Inn offers several wedding options to fit couples' needs, but choosing the wedding weekend package was easily the best fit for us. We hosted a welcome party in the courtyard Friday night, spent Saturday getting ready leisurely in the charming suites, and had many guests stay one or two nights with us. Not only was it convenient for everyone, but it also gave us much needed time with family and friends throughout the entire weekend instead of squeezing everything into one day.
The Inn’s venue coordinator, Dianna, was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She answered every single question we had (lots of email chains) and genuinely tried to accommodate all of our requests. She and Mackenzie went above and beyond — helping with logistics, offering thoughtful ideas, supporting us throughout the weekend, and making us feel so cared for during the entire process.
We are endlessly grateful to The Inn at Blackstone for giving us the most beautiful, heartfelt wedding weekend we could have imagined.”
