Just a little bit about me - I am a creative with a passion for weddings! I love the "love story" and getting to know each of our couples and their families...and if there is a four-legged family member, even better. I spent quite a few years working on big events, festivals, annual meetings and the like but weddings stole my heart. There is just something about watching a wedding grow from the first look at the venue to the moment you walk down the aisle and yes, I am going to cry. I'd love to help you with your dream wedding...so let's connect!

There were three factors that sold us on The Inn as our venue choice: 1. There are multiple indoor and outdoor areas that can be used for a ceremony, a reception, or both (which is what we opted for). 2. The wedding packages are very affordable compared to some of the other venues we toured. We chose the wedding weekend package and could not be more pleased with everything that was offered. 3. Both Dianna & Samantha have such sweet spirits. They're great at their jobs and absolutely wonderful to work with.

My husband and I got married in June 2023 and we loved the Inn at Blackstone. Dianna, Anna, and the rest of the team helped create a wonderful day for us and our 200 friends and family. It was very convenient to have guests stay at the Inn and everyone complimented their rooms. The bride and groom suites are in a convenient location, are spacious, and have plenty of outlets and lighting. The venue provided bartenders were a hit as well. I would highly recommend having a wedding at the Inn at Blackstone!

Sarah and David - we were so honored to be part of your love story and celebrate with your...
incredible group of family and friends. You two made planning such a joy, and we loved seeing everything come together so beautifully. We’re thrilled that your guests enjoyed their stay (and the bartenders!) and that our suites kept things running smoothly behind the scenes. Sending all our love and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness—and don’t be strangers! Come back and visit anytime! 🥂💕 Dianna & the wedding crew

I can’t say enough amazing things about the Inn at Blackstone! When picking my venue, I was fairly limited in my options in my rural area. However, when I heard that the Inn at Blackstone was going to be a wedding venue, I was interested right away! My grandmother had attended the Blackstone College for Girls (The Inn used to be an all girls college!), and I knew it was the perfect place to have my wedding and incorporate my nana as much as possible (she passed in 2019). The Inn at Blackstone is absolutely stunning. The columns, arches, outdoor patio, and the grounds are perfection for a bride looking for a timeless venue with a modern elements incorporated throughout the interior. Additionally, the rooms are amazing and it’s great to have all your guests stay so they can party all night without having to worry about driving home! The staff and management at the Inn are top-tier. Diana was constantly there to answer any and all questions I had. When I had a vision, they were committed to making them come to life! I highly recommend any bride looking for a venue with stunning views, wonderful history, and a committed team dedicated to making their day the best imaginable to look no further and book the Inn at Blackstone!

Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and cherished memories. Please come visit anytime—you’ll always be part of the Blackstone family! 💕🏛️ Dianna & the wedding crew
