ed that The Blanford House was "the one". Matt and his team were so accommodating and willing to help. Their kindness and hospitality; much appreciated. On top of that, everything worked out great for members of the wedding party, as well as our vendors and guests. It is such an amazing place, and it is so special that they have revived the old school. For anyone who went to school there - you MUST go see!!! Regardless of the occasion, you will not be disappointed. It is beautiful inside and out, close to the interstate exit, and very unique. It was perfect for us, and will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

n was amazing for our food service, the kids that attended the wedding really enjoyed the media and billards areas. This venue was amazing! Beautifully renovated, and Crystal and Matt were so helpful with set up, clean up, and during the wedding. They even used golf carts so our guests didn't have to walk from the parking lot to the ceremony!! They definitely went above and beyond for us, and we can't thank them enough. We plan to return for our one year anniversary to spend the weekend.
Beautiful historic building. Matt was extremely helpful and offered great ideas on how we will use the space!
