A Few Considerations
Like any venue, Tresca has a few things to keep in mind:
❌ No outdoor ceremony space – If you’re set on an outdoor wedding, this may not be the fit. But trust me, the inside is so stunning, you won’t miss it.
🚫 No on-site accommodations – But don’t worry — there are plenty of nearby hotels and many offer special wedding group rates.
🚗 Parking can be tricky – Downtown Lynchburg is charming but parking is limited. Be sure to coordinate with Tresca’s team ahead of time to make parking arrangements or consider providing shuttle service.
