Our AMAZING wedding weekend at Blaylock
Our wedding at Blaylock was great! Here are some of the highlights:
-Friendly staff. They were so helpful on the day of, it was amazing.
-Beautiful site. We toured in the winter and didn't get a chance to see it when the flowers were in bloom. From the highway, you can't really tell what it looks like, but once you are in the gardens it is Stellar. It was GORGEOUS the day of and the gardens were so cute!
-The staff work really hard to help you create something beautiful and help you and your vendors figure out how to do that (like where catering goes etc)
-Latest outdoor sound curfew in the area, which for an outdoor wedding was a big deciding factor. Other venues in places like Rossland have an 8:30 pm sound curfew and ask that everything is taken down by 9 (which is IMO a little unreasonable). So the fact this was later was great
-The option of staying on-site was PHENOMENAL and came in clutch for setting up, getting ready, and taking down. We had the keys to the mansion package and got the cottage and the extra day. That really helped us out when we were scrambling around and getting stuff set up and taking stuff down. We had all of our wedding party stay on site, which was fantastic and we even had a small pool party for everyone staying on site on the sunday to make clean up more fun.
-Tables and chairs are included, and they even help set up the ceremony chairs for you. HUGE plus for us, as an issue in the Nelson area is sourcing rentals. This was one less thing to rent which was great!
-Location was a highlight, as people could stay in Nelson and cab in/out as needed. If we had gone with our other options, it would have not worked out that way with hotels, cabs, etc.
