Welcome to blissanddan.com!
Did you hear we're getting married?
Presumably you have, since you're probably here either because you've been invited to our wedding reception next February, or because you're simply interested in seeing what's going on.
The basics:
When: February 17, 2007, 6:00pm
Where: Savannah, GA
We've selected the Marshall House as our venue because the building is gorgeous. Not only that, the people that run the Marshall House genuinely seem to care, giving the place a uniquely comfortable and friendly feel that we didn't find at any of the other potential venues we toured.
This beautiful hotel also has a lot of history behind it:
In 1851, The Marshall House was built as the first hotel in Savannah. One-hundred-fifty years later, $12 million was invested in its spectacular restoration. The award-winning results are stunning, combining elegance and historical authenticity with a jazzy and upbeat design. There is truly no place in Savannah like it.
It's also located in the best part of town right in the middle of Savannah's beautiful and quirky historic district. The venue is walking distance from the river walk, most of Savannah's best restaurants, the city's famous squares (think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), a number of great lodging options, and shopping areas.
We're working on setting aside some hotel rooms in blocks under our name at two locations. The Marshall House offers some of the best you'll find when it comes to character. While prices here aren't exorbitant, all of that character doesn't necessarily come cheaply. We're also looking to set aside some rooms at the Hampton Inn, which is a good budget option located a few blocks from the Marshall House, just across the street from the river. Since the reception is during an off-peak travel period, many hotels will offer discounts in February.
Savannah is a great place to visit, with a wide variety of things to do and see in the city and also in surrounding areas. If some of you are considering making a trip of it, we're planning to be around in Savannah for most of the week leading up to the reception.
Stay tuned--a lot more information to follow to help you plan your trip to Savannah.
