Please note that The Blanche is fully booked for our wedding weekend. Although some third-party booking websites may show rooms as available, this is incorrect. The hotel is completely reserved for our wedding party and additional bookings will unfortunately not be honored upon arrival. To ensure you have a confirmed room, please book your stay at the Courtyard Marriott, where we have arranged accommodations for our guests. We can’t wait to celebrate together and want to make sure everyone has a smooth and stress-free weekend!
For men, nice jeans with a dress shirt and an optional jacket are perfectly appropriate. For women, a dress, skirt and blouse, or dressy pants with a nice top would be ideal.
There are multiple parking lots around the venue to accommodate all guests.
We have chosen to keep our ceremony intimate, with only immediate family and the bridal party in attendance. We would, however, be honored to celebrate with all of our guests at the reception following the ceremony. The invitations will clearly outline these details.
This venue features both indoor and outdoor spaces. Dinner will be served indoors, and then dancing will be outside.
