Our Wedding

The Grand Hotel is a special place to us! This is a super convenient & popular place to stay while you’re in Fairhope. We’ve reserved a limited room block from April 22–25, 2027. Book online with this passkey: https://book.passkey.com/e/51299196 Or call (251) 928-9201 and mention the Boan‑Wilson Wedding.

The rooms are more cottage-style, and since there are only five cottages available to rent, I’d definitely recommend calling ahead if you’re interested. A little more tucked away but still close to everything.

Little Point Clear Suites & Space

Little Point Inn SUPER brand new. Sister property of Little Point Clear, opening in early 2027. Little Point Inn is a beloved Fairhope landmark currently under new ownership and undergoing a full renovation. It’s being thoughtfully restored, with all the Fairhope charm and genuine Southern hospitality we love so much. Since it’s still in the works, please email hello@littlepointinn.com for information about accommodations, amenities, and availability. I haven’t stayed here yet, obviously (she’s still getting her glow-up) but it looks like it will be such a special Fairhope stay once it opens!

Q + A

Test

Black-Tie Black-tie: Formal evening wear—tuxedos for men and floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses for women. Think classic, polished, and refined. Please avoid casual attire (jeans, sneakers, or shorts). If you’d like guidance on colors or accessories, scroll to our Wedding page for palette and photos.
