Imagine
your Wedding Weekend at the Mansion
|
|
Friday
– Noon |
You
have just checked in and are lounging in the Carriage House honeymoon
suite. Over the previous months, our Event Planning Director has helped
you plan every aspect of your wedding weekend – down to the
last detail. You feel far more relaxed on the eve of your wedding
than you’d ever imagined possible. Your family and guests staying
at the Mansion are being picked up from the airport by our shuttle
service. You stroll through the gardens and join your family and bridal
party at the gazebo. Our event coordinators walk you through the ceremony
rehearsal and ensure that everything is in order for your big day.
The rehearsal dinner begins in the Grand Rockefeller Room shortly
thereafter. You enjoy an intimate dinner in the company of those people
who are most special to you.

Later
that evening, you’ve planned a more casual gathering for your
bridal party and out of town guests – perhaps casino games,
a poker tournament or some karaoke. Some guests retreat to the Game
Room with the pool table, dartboard, TV, mini bar, and other amenities.
Your guests are grateful to have enjoyed more personal time with you
and the family. The night ends and the Carriage House is a short walk
away. Your guests retreat to their suites and cottages. Others are
shuttled back to their hotels.

Saturday |
You
wake up at your leisure. You are already here - there is no rush to
go anywhere - everyone is coming to you. Breakfast awaits you and
your guests in the Dining Room, followed by soothing massages for
the bride and groom. A hairstylist and manicurist wait in the Carriage
House poised to transform you and your friends into bride and bridesmaids.
Meanwhile, the groom and groomsmen spend the morning playing a round
of golf, all arranged by the Mansion staff. They are now in the Game
Room area playing pool, watching TV and getting ready for the ceremony.

The
ceremony finally arrives. A harpist plays in the gardens. You travel
from the Carriage House to the ceremony site in a horse drawn carriage
– or maybe you just take a stroll over the brick walkways arm
in arm with your father, sharing a tender moment one last time before
you walk down the aisle. The garden ceremony is beautiful, words cannot
describe how you feel. Your guests are welcomed into the Mansion and
gardens for a cocktail hour while your special day is captured by
your photographer. You join your guests under the softly glowing tent
to celebrate your new marriage. You and your guests dance the night
away and before you know it, the night is over. You retire to the
honeymoon suite. Your remaining guests decide to continue the party
a little longer in one of the cottages.

Sunday |
Everyone
gathers one last time for Sunday brunch in the Grand Rockefeller Room.
Goodbyes and well wishes are exchanged. Some guests are shuttled to
the airport, while others decide to spend a few more days at the Mansion
enjoying a short family vacation in Virginia.
