Receptions
Our main cottage house will comfortably seat up to 25 people with additional outside seating for up 40 people on garden grounds. The gardens make a perfect place for your guests to mingle, visit and enjoy the celebration events of your special day. Our chapel is perfect for a small wedding and our patios and floral covered arbors make the perfect setting for a larger outside ceremony. This is perfect for families and gives the attending children a place to “stretch” while the adults enjoy the day. Cake and punch outside in the gardens is a lovely way to wrap up the occasion! If you are also lodging with us, discounts on your lodging combined with a reception are available. Beginning in 2012, if you are not lodging with us, a nominal fee of $250 for hosting the reception in the main house will apply and a $100 fee will apply for a chapel reception for up to 20 guests. These fees cover the set up preparation and clean up costs. Food and beverage costs are additional to the property use fee.
Pricing for reception buffets is available based on the type and size of your reception and by the per person guest count:
- Option I: Cake & Wedding Punch, mints, nuts, sparkling cider or champagne toast: 1 hour reception (Pricing ranges $3.75 - $6.75 pp.)
