10/24/2024

We’re in the home stretch, gearing up for our last wedding of the 2024 season this weekend—unless someone’s dreaming of a cozy holiday elopement! ✨🌲 As we put the final touches on A & T’s big day, it’s bittersweet to wrap up a season so full of love.

The whirlwind of laughter, tears, first dances, and unforgettable moments has been so so fun to witness, and we’ve loved every single second spent with our couples & their families. From watching the smallest details come together to seeing those ‘you had to be there’ moments unfold—this is why we do what we do 🤍

As we head into the quieter season, we’re beyond excited for what’s to come. Winter brings us the time to dive deeper into planning for our 2025 couples, cherishing every moment of a slower, more hands-on experience with our Suite guests (and maybe, just maybe, finding time for that elusive day off we’ve been dreaming of!). We’ll also be reminiscing—because let’s be honest, we’re still thinking about all those teary vows and late-night toasts over one too many glasses of ‘s Cab Franc 🍷

But first, we’ve got one more celebration to prep for! You’ll find us this week moving tables, rearranging decor, and blowing leaves off the front walkway — all to get everything just right for A & T. It’s going to be a REAL good party, and we can’t wait to send this season off with a bang! 🥂💃

To everyone who celebrated with us this year—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your love and trust have made this season unforgettable, and we can’t wait for more memories with our 2025 couples SOON!

10/17/2024

We just received the sweetest inquiry for a small, intimate May getaway for Spring 2025 — the bride, groom, both sets of parents, and two close friends. Just the perfect group to share in allllll the special moments. Their plan? To escape the city, spend a few days unwinding in the mansion, and elope in the most peaceful setting. Smooth, calm, easy… & yet elevated & pampered ✨

As soon as we read the inquiry, we knew exactly what to pull from— this past June, Caspar & Verushka did EXACTLY this. They gave us the ultimate blueprint for a perfect Prince Edward County escape. Three of the most serene days, from dining at PEC’s finest restaurants, indulging with a private chef, and a heartfelt intimate ceremony, to wrapping it all up with a oh-so deserved spa day. Absolute paradise. 🌿

It’s as if captured the wedding of our DREAMS ☁️✨

This day is engraved into our core memories. As a venue, one of our most frequently asked questions we receive is, “What happens if it rains?” — it’s right up there with, “What time does the bar close?” 😉

Ari & Matt’s wedding last August answered that perfectly when the skies opened up and poured down the most beautiful summer rain, turning their day into a story that is one of our absolute favorites.

The rain added a magical touch, creating a perfect mix of orchestrated harmony that made the entire day even more enchanting. Despite the weather, the flow of the day was entirely seamless, thanks to the most incredible vendors we know and love. Their dedication and talent brought true wedding day magic to life, ensuring every moment was picture-perfect 🤍

Brittany did an exceptional job capturing the essence of this unforgettable day. Her photos are a testament to the beauty and joy that radiated despite the rain. We strongly urge you to check out her full blog post on Ari & Matt’s wedding weekend. She is absolutely incredible, and her work will give you a glimpse into all the magic that was created.

05/29/2024

Every minute of Cassie and Michael’s Wedding day felt like perfectly orchestrated, effortless grace. For us, it’s the little moments that ‘s images capture — half drank glasses of wine left behind as guests became lost in lively conversations & vibrant pink pumps discarded in favour of barefoot dancing under the stars in Prince Edward County with lifelong girlfriends. Forgotten bouquets yearning for water as the night wears on, and the lack of scraps on plates returned to the kitchen because ‘s Catering is just that G O O D. 🍲🫶🏼

These are details that may seem insignificant to some, but speak volumes to us. The nuances, the subtle gestures, and the fleeting moments — all things that make our clients’ Wedding Day truly unforgettable.

Cassie and Michael’s Wedding was one of those occasions where every element aligned seamlessly, a huge thank you to . Gorgeous weather and falling September leaves intertwined, and where every detail, no matter how small, contributed to the magic – that as vendors, we all know & love. For Cassie and Michael, their wedding day will forever be etched in the mansion’s history as a testament to the beauty of shared moments. 🌿🤍🥂

04/04/2024

Where grandeur often steals the spotlight, there’s something enchantingly intimate about the Audrey Hepburn Suite. It’s a small haven of understated luxury – our queen-sized hidden gem. 🛏️✨

Art Deco furnishings fill the space, each piece a testament to an era of glamour & refinement. The art that lines the walls was thoughtfully collected – an ode to Hepburn’s beauty and grace.

What truly sets the Suite apart is its warmth. As you gaze out of the massive historic windows, the view of Picton’s Main Street unfolds before you - morning commuters, and pedestrians strolling with their pups. 🌿🐩

There’s a charming marble bistro table, tucked in a cozy nook where morning stories are shared and savoured. It’s the perfect spot to linger over breakfast, to sip and nibble on bagels as the world awakens beyond the windowpanes. ☕️

With breakfast in bed included in your stay, it’s no wonder it’s a popular favourite among our guests!

Come, immerse yourself in the timeless allure of the Audrey Hepburn Suite. Let its perfect, cozy atmosphere wrap you in elegance and grace, just like the iconic star herself. After all, in a world where simplicity meets splendour, there’s no place quite like home. 🏡🤍
