The Inn at Gran View Ogdensburg, Ascend Hotel Collection

WEDDINGS CEREMONIES & RECEPTIONS WITH THE INN AT GRAN-VIEW At the Inn at Gran View Restaurant, owner Louis Williams personally coordinates your special day. We offer many options for both ceremonies and receptions. Ceremonies can be performed in our garden area, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, or in Marco’s Sunset Dining Room. On-site wedding receptions are offered in Marco’s Sunset Dining Room and outdoors at our riverside location. More intimate receptions can be handled in our cozier fireside dining room. Or if you have an alternative location in mind for your reception, the Gran View and its staff provide formal and comprehensive catering services. PLANNING SCHEDULE First Meeting – The first meeting gives us a chance to meet each other, I usually do not take many notes. It is primarily an information and idea session. Second Meeting – The second meeting is our planning session. This meeting will allow me to take detailed notes about your wedding. We will establish your time line, a vendor list, linen colors, menu and bar selections and discuss what items you will be bringing for the setup. Final Numbers – Usually about three weeks prior to the wedding you would call me with your final numbers. They should be very accurate. We will do two things. 1) Establish our final meeting time and date 2) I will create and email your final seating chart. Final Meeting – Our final meeting is usually early the week of your wedding. At this meeting we will review all of our notes on your wedding, you will bring me your seating chart, and all of the items that the Gran-View will need to set your wedding Lou’s Schedule – Except for major holidays or special functions I take Sundays off. My meeting schedule is very flexible often meeting in the evenings or on Saturdays. In season I often will not return calls on weekends for I am working events. 
