A Property Designed for Every Moment
A memorable weekend wedding experience requires spaces that naturally transition from welcome drinks to the final dance. Our estate offers distinct, beautifully maintained locations for every part of your celebration.
The Pavilion
Ideal for open-air cocktail hours or covered ceremonies, the Pavilion offers the security of a roof with the beauty of the outdoors. It serves as a sophisticated transition space that keeps guests connected to the landscape while protected from the elements.
The Terrace
An expansive outdoor setting perfect for mingling as the sun sets. The Terrace connects the architectural beauty of the Manor with the natural surroundings, offering a paved, elegant surface for high-top tables and welcome drinks.
The Barn
Forget rustic dark wood; our Barn is renovated, bright. Featuring a built-in bar, warm gold lighting, and a sleek aesthetic, it provides a refined indoor reception space that feels festive and comfortable, never dated.
The Porch
A nod to the estate’s 1790 heritage, the Porch offers a moment of "Old Money" elegance. It is a favorite spot for the wedding party to relax before the ceremony or for guests to enjoy a quiet conversation away from the dance floor.
The Patio
Nestled near the pool and the manor, the patio serves as a relaxed gathering point for the weekend’s casual moments—whether it’s a morning coffee before the chaos begins or a late-night chat under the stars.
The Field
The ultimate ceremony backdrop. Our manicured fields offer direct, sweeping views of Mount Monadnock, providing a grand, natural stage for your vows without the need for excessive decoration.
