Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Blaylock's Mansion is a verified Nelson BC wedding venue at 1679 HWY 3A, near Kootenay Lake. Its official website publishes a dedicated weddings page, an active booking route and direct contact details, supporting its current identity as a wedding-capable accommodation property.

This updated profile corrects the legacy Woodbridge context associated with the older listing. The official Blaylock's Mansion website identifies the business in Nelson, British Columbia, and describes wedding uses centred on its grounds and mansion rather than a Woodbridge banquet hall.

Services and specialization

Blaylock's Mansion publishes several ways couples can use the property for a wedding. These include grounds access for wedding photographs, a wedding ceremony followed by photographs, and a ceremony with wine and cheese in the gardens. For the latter option, the venue states that couples choose their own caterer, servers and photographer.

The site also describes rental of the mansion and grounds as its most common wedding option. Its example itinerary places a rehearsal dinner or wine-and-cheese gathering on Friday, the wedding and reception on Saturday afternoon, and a Sunday departure. The official description says the seven bedrooms are commonly used by family and friends, with the bridal suite for the couple and the sun room available to the groom.

Blaylock's says it can recommend local caterers, bartenders, music companies, tent-rental providers and photographers. That is a referral offer, not confirmation that these services are included in every booking or supplied in-house.

Service area and who it may suit

The verified address is in Nelson, BC. The official directions page positions the property for destination travel, naming Castlegar Airport in British Columbia and driving times from Vancouver and Calgary. Couples considering a Nelson or Kootenay Lake-area celebration may find the location relevant, particularly when they want wedding activity and overnight accommodation at the same property.

The documented options suggest a fit for couples planning a photo session, a grounds-based ceremony, or a multi-day gathering using the mansion and bedrooms. The official site does not publish a current wedding guest capacity, accessible-event information, curfew, weather backup plan or service boundaries. Those points should be confirmed directly before the venue is compared with other locations.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the choice of wedding uses: photographs only, ceremony and photographs, a garden gathering, or rental of the mansion and grounds. The wedding page also documents gardens, an arboretum, views toward Kootenay Lake, a bridal suite, a sun room, and seven bedrooms commonly used for family and friends.

The practical limitation is the level of current operational detail published online. The official wedding page does not set out capacity, a current inclusions list, a rain plan, catering requirements, alcohol conditions beyond the statement that couples provide beverages without corkage or other fees, or a current wedding package price. These are booking questions rather than negative findings.

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The official booking page lists accommodation information only: room rates start at $199 per night, rates vary by room, and multiple-night low-season stays from November to April qualify for a stated 25% discount. It separately lists homemade breakfast at $18 per person per day.

Those accommodation figures should not be treated as a wedding quote or as proof that rooms, breakfast, grounds, ceremony time, reception time, staffing, rentals, taxes or any vendor services are included. Ask Blaylock's Mansion for a written proposal matched to the intended date, guest count and chosen wedding format.

Contact and booking

For reservations and package enquiries, the official contact page lists Michelle and Mark, phone (250) 825-2200, toll-free 1-888-788-3613, and email info@blaylock.ca. The website also includes a contact form and an online booking path where visitors can enter expected dates to view accommodation rates and availability.

For a wedding enquiry, provide the date or date range, expected guest count, whether the request is for photographs, a ceremony, or mansion-and-grounds rental, and whether overnight rooms are needed. This gives the venue the basics needed to identify an appropriate option and quote.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, confirm that the preferred date is available for the specific wedding format, not only for overnight accommodation. Request the complete written scope: spaces included, access times, setup and teardown rules, rain or weather arrangements, parking and accessibility details, noise or music limits, and responsibility for cleanup.

Also confirm the number and use of bedrooms, the bridal-suite arrangement, current rules for bringing beverages, insurance requirements, recommended-vendor obligations if any, payment schedule, taxes, cancellation terms and who will coordinate on the day. If catering, tents, bartending, music or photography are needed, determine whether the venue merely recommends providers or whether any are required for the booking.

Profile verification notes

The official website matches the distinctive business name “Blaylock's Mansion” and publishes wedding-specific content, a Nelson address, phone number, email and booking route. These independent first-party signals support an Active status for the corrected Nelson identity.

The former website and Woodbridge address supplied with the historical record were unavailable or inconsistent with the confirmed business and have not been used as evidence. Couples should use the current official contact details above when making enquiries.
