Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Charlie James Cannon and Shelby Potter Storm
Welcome to downtown Bloomington in December. All of our recommended (and favorite) hotels are located in the heart of downtown, surrounded by shopping, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, the B-Line Trail, and IU’s beautiful campus. We know many of you will be traveling in from out of town, and we hope you’ll consider joining us for the Welcome Party on Friday night.
