Day One: Friday – Arrival & Welcome Gathering
The excitement of the wedding weekend begins as the wedding party and close family arrive at the manor.
Instead of rushing through rehearsal and dinner, everyone has time to settle in and enjoy the property together.
Afternoon: Check-In & Getting Settled
Guests staying at the manor begin arriving and settling into their rooms.
Beacon Hill Manor offers:
- 6 spacious bedrooms with king-size beds
- private bathrooms in every bedroom
- comfortable living spaces throughout the home
With four living rooms and three kitchens, there is plenty of space for guests to relax and reconnect after arriving. You might find friends gathering in the kitchen, sharing stories in one of the living rooms, or enjoying coffee while taking in the peaceful countryside views.
Evening: Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Celebration
Friday evening often begins with a rehearsal at the ceremony location followed by a rehearsal dinner.
Many couples host a relaxed welcome gathering for out-of-town guests.
This might include:
- cocktails and hors d’oeuvres
- a catered dinner
- a casual outdoor gathering
- a BBQ at the firepit
- cooking one of your family recipes in the kitchen
After dinner, the celebration often continues throughout the manor.
Some guests may gather in the media room to watch a movie on the big screen, while others relax in the downstairs lounge.
Late Night: Firepit Conversations
As the evening winds down, guests often gather around the outdoor firepit.
These late-night conversations become some of the most meaningful moments of the weekend—friends laughing, sharing stories, and enjoying the quiet atmosphere of the countryside.
Day Two: Saturday – The Wedding Day
Saturday is the centerpiece of the weekend, but unlike many weddings, the day unfolds slowly and comfortably.
There is no rush because everyone is already together.
Morning: A Relaxed Start
The morning begins quietly as guests wake up and enjoy coffee together.
With three kitchens and multiple living spaces, the manor offers plenty of room for relaxed morning conversations.
Meanwhile, the wedding party begins getting ready throughout the house. The bride and her brides maids get ready in the bridal suite which includes an entire apartment – bedroom, full bathroom, a full kitchen for having snack and drinks, a living area space with windows all around, a fireplace and plenty of mirrors!
The downstairs groomsmen lounge becomes a favorite gathering space.
This area includes:
- a full bar area
- leather seating
- a wood-burning fireplace
- a billiard table
- a media room
It’s a place where the wedding party can relax, play pool, and spend time together before the ceremony. The space also includes access to a sauna and steam room, giving everyone a chance to unwind before the celebration begins.
Afternoon: Ceremony & Cocktail Hour
As guests arrive, they are welcomed into the beautiful countryside setting of Beacon Hill Manor. The ceremony becomes a heartfelt moment shared with family and friends, followed by a relaxed cocktail hour where guests mingle and enjoy the scenery. Meanwhile, the wedding party takes advantage of the stunning property for photos.
Evening: Dinner & Dancing Under the Tent
The reception begins beneath the elegant tent as guests gather for dinner and celebration. The evening typically includes:
- dinner service
- heartfelt toasts
- first dances
- music and dancing
As the night progresses, the tent fills with laughter, celebration, and unforgettable moments.
Late Night: The Celebration Continues
Unlike many venues where the evening ends abruptly, a wedding weekend allows the celebration to continue naturally. After the reception, some guests return to the manor where the evening continues with:
- conversations in the living rooms
- a game of pool in the lounge
- quiet moments around the firepit
These relaxed moments often become some of the most cherished memories of the entire weekend.
Day Three: Sunday – Farewell Brunch
Sunday morning offers one final opportunity to gather before everyone heads home.
Many couples host a relaxed farewell brunch for family and overnight guests.
This may include:
- coffee and pastries
- catered brunch
- a simple gathering in one of the manor’s kitchens or living spaces
Guests share stories from the wedding, laugh about the dance floor moments from the night before, and enjoy one final moment together.
