Dreamy wedding venue

The Blanche is absolutely amazing! This was the first venue we toured when my husband and I just got engaged! The building is a perfect mixture of historic with a modern twist- it was the perfect venue! Dennille and Emily were absolutely phenomenal to work with! They were so helpful from the very first email contact to the end of our wedding. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I honestly cannot think of a more better venue for us.

We also stayed at the Blanche hotel room the night before our event, the hotel rooms were super clean, accommodated all our needs, felt secure and was SUPER CUTE! 15/10 🤩🥰🤍

Gorgeous venue

The Blanche was the most beautiful venue for my wedding. Having the entire space available to rent to all of our wedding party and parents made it that much more perfect. Everyone enjoyed their stay and having the space to ourselves. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in while staying at a hotel. My wedding photos turned out amazing because of the beautiful building and those amazing chandeliers!! I knew from the moment I saw The Blanche (and that fantastic bridal suite) that it would be the venue for my dream wedding and it really paid off. Do not hesitate to check out this gorgeous venue! It was the most perfect venue for the perfect day!
