Cocktail Hour Spaces at Brittland Manor

Incorporating cocktail hour into the wedding day timeline provides ample opportunity for guests to mingle and relax before transitioning into the reception. With the right setting, the celebration flows effortlessly from one moment to the next. Brittland Manor offers versatile cocktail hour spaces, perfectly suited for both traditional and micro weddings.

Poolside

One of the most popular choices for cocktail hour at Brittland Manor is by the pool. This chic setting offers stunning sunset views and endless opportunities for customization. Embrace the natural beauty of the location or enhance the space with perfectly curated decor; either way guests will enjoy the ambiance and experience.

Garden

Another popular cocktail hour location at Brittland Manor is in the garden. The versatility of this space ensures each event is truly unique to the couple. Garden cocktail parties offer guests the beauty of the flowerbeds, shade trees, a view of the river, and/or the lawn space, all while enjoying the soothing sounds of the wall fountain. The lawn space is perfect for specialty tables featuring oyster bars, hors d’oeuvre stations, memory displays, and seating charts. We’ve also seen couples provide lawn games for guests to truly relax and have fun before and even during the reception!

Inside the Manor

Ideal for micro weddings, winter weddings, or during inclement weather, hosting cocktail hour inside the Manor house is also an option. Indoor cocktail hours can accommodate up to 130 guests. The elegant mansion has multiple locations for cocktail hour with the ability to add as much as or as little as you want for decorations.

Become a Brittland Bride

Some couples design cocktail hour as a way to enjoy unhurried portraits after the ceremony, while others schedule a first look and take their portraits before the ceremony so they can enjoy cocktail hour alongside their guests. Another option is extending cocktail hour slightly, giving the couple time to step away for a few post-ceremony photos while still joining their guests for a meaningful portion of the celebration. No matter what option you choose, Brittland Manor can provide the perfect setting for cocktail hour.
