A romantic setting with an elegant country charm. Imagine your ceremony on the beautiful grounds of our family home, photos on the footbridge by the pond, cocktails in the perennial garden, and an exquisite feast in the inviting dining room of our restored 19th century schoolhouse. The idyllic garden wedding. Our stunning outdoor setting is surrounded by lavish perennial gardens, gorgeous stone statuary and archways, whimsical characters at every turn, a shady pergola, wooden footbridge and a pond with its own happy couple of live swans – countless options for your perfect wedding photo backdrop. The intimate wedding reception. Your seventy-five guests enjoy cocktail hour in the restaurant garden, followed by an exquisite meal in the intimate yet spacious dining room of our restored 19th century schoolhouse. Each course is carefully planned with the help of our talented event professionals, to reflect the couple’s own tastes. As the evening comes to a close, pause for a moment to enjoy the warm glow of success. A truly happy ending to a perfect day. The complete wedding plan. It’s your big day, and it’s a big deal to plan it. Some couples know exactly what they want. Others are overwhelmed by the whole process. We’re here to help, as much or as little as you need. Food. Sumptuous food, selected to match your style, taste and budget: appetizers such as pâté and smoked salmon; homemade soups and fresh salads; for evening dining, lobster and shrimp royale, Cornish hen, or prime rib; midday, consider chicken paprika served on a bed of noodles, or country beef stew; desserts such as pralines & cream cheesecake and chocolate Cointreau truffle torte. These are just a few of many choices for your wedding menu. Drink. Wine, beer, champagne, a signature cocktail perhaps? Ceremony. In summer, a romantic garden wedding is beyond compare. If you prefer, we will help you arrange a church ceremony at one of the area’s many quaint houses of worship. Photography. Again, the perennial gardens are lush with many potental photo vignettes and not a single bad angle. We know all the best local photographers and they know and love our properties too. Extras. Special touches such as arrival by horse-drawn carriage or sleigh can be arranged. Bring your ideas, we will be your soundboard and help you make the perfect day a reality. What about flowers? Big centerpieces or small, or maybe something completely different? Guest Accommodations. If guests will be travelling from out of town, we can suggest many options for quality accommodations nearby. We can also assist you with transportation. If your visitors will decide to stay for a few days, we suggest exploring Headwaters to discover the wonderful sights and attractions of our region. The perfect wedding gifts. For the gift table, your guests will be glad to know that Granny Taught Us How & Heidi’s Room is a short walk across the road. After helping to find the perfect gift, the friendly staff will wrap it up for delivery on the special day.
