Fabulous venue!

Shelby is fantastic! We loved the venue, the station house, was perfect for our wedding. We also had our bridal shower and rehearsal dinner at the Inn itself. Food was great, breakfast is the best. Thank you for everything.

Perfect venue

We were very pleased with the Bleckley Inn. The space is beautiful and having our guests staying onsite was a huge plus. Our pictures are beautiful and the Inn staff were very accommodating. The price was competitive with Greenville venues but the Bleckley provides rentals and 4 suites for no additional charge. It was an easy decision for us and it turned out wonderfully. Thank you Shelby!

Fantastic venue

Where do I begin, this venue was amazing! The Bleckley Inn staff went above and beyond for us, and the Bleckley Station did not disappoint. From the skylight, to the exposed brick, to the hotel rooms...I still have people complimenting me on how gorgeous our venue was. I highly recommend this venue, it’s the perfect place for a wedding.

Incredible Wedding Weekend

The Bleckley Inn was the most perfect venue for our wedding weekend. Our entire wedding party stayed at the Inn and we hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Inn as well. It was such an intimate environment being surrounded by our wedding party and guests all weekend. Shelby was incredible! She answered and took care of every question or request we had and was very quick to respond. We look forward to visiting the Bleckley Inn to celebrate future wedding anniversaries. ❤️

I had an amazing experience with The Bleckley Inn for my wedding! My husband and I are from the Greenville area and were having a difficult time finding a venue that fit our style and size of our wedding that was within our budget. Feeling discouraged, I started to venture areas outside of Greenville and came across The Bleckley Inn online. Looking through pictures I had a feeling that it was going to be outside our budget like the other venues. We gave it a chance at drove out to tour and get pricing. We met with Shelby and she was super nice. The facility was beautiful and included a ton of amenities in the wedding package for a reasonable price! It was also nice that they had multiple areas that could be utilized for the event so we had multiple options of how we could arrange the wedding. The bridal suite that was included in the package was beautiful and spacious, more than enough room for my bridal party and I to get ready! It's located in a beautiful area of downtown Anderson and all of my guests were impressed with it. I would highly recommend this venue and I would book it again in a heartbeat!

This venue is absolutely beautiful from every aspect. Our ceremony and reception was perfect! Most of our family came from out of town so it was so great to be able to book all of the rooms and have them stay with us after the reception was over. It was truly a wonderful day/night for us. Shelby is so amazing to work with. She will help with anything you need, and her response time is WONDERFUL (which is all a bride needs with vendors)! LOL
The Bleckly Inn is highly recommended for weddings!!!!
