HERE’S THE SCOOP

My families experience at The Tutwiler was no less than magical and one we will remember for a lifetime. Upon our arrival, we were met with a digital wedding announcement on the wall of the lobby featuring my beautiful cousin and her soon to be husband. Our entire group booked a floor of suites for the weekend and enjoyed so many fond memories. The suites are spacious with plenty of room for siblings, cousins, and friends to visit and get ready for the days events. We celebrated the night away in The Continental Ballroom on the 8th floor, which had been decorated to perfectly match my cousin’s wedding invitations. A particularly fond moment was spent in The Kings Suite. With the French doors open, fresh air and sun pouring in, all of the girl cousins gathered on the king sized bed, chatting and giggling about the events of the night before. All to say, The Tutwiler is a wonderful and grand hotel, filled with luxury and charm, and the perfect place for a traditional southern wedding.
