A Day In The Life As A Westchester Bride at The Briarcliff Manor
Pre-Ceremony
Prior to your ceremony, you’ll have plenty of time for getting ready photos, bridal party photos, first look or first touch photos and immediate family photos!
We have two different photoshoot time options available. Our standard 90 minute package or our buyout option. Our buyout option provides additional time to allow you on site earlier in the day and take your time with photos and ensure you won’t have to take as many during cocktail hour depending on your photography shot list!
As guests arrive, you’ll be tucked away in our suites preparing for the ceremony with final touches and enjoying a glass of champagne.
Ceremony
Guests will make their way to the ceremony space as you and your bridal party are lining up upstairs before making your way down the aisle.
Our outdoor ceremony space provides for a long, beautiful aisle and a stunning view of the Hudson River. As you make your way into ceremony, remember to breathe, soak it all in and smile!
Cocktail Hour
You did it – you’re married!
After the ceremony, guests immediately head to our cocktail hour space to enjoy drinks, passed appetizers and our stations. As for the bride and groom, you may have additional bridal party photos or family photos to finish up before making your way into cocktail hour.
Enjoy chatting with your guests while you enjoy delicious cuisine before making your way upstairs 10 minutes prior to the end of cocktail hour for some alone time with your partner.
Reception
Reception is where the party really starts!
Guests will make their way inside and find their seat while you’re upstairs getting ready for your grand entrance!
Our beautifully lit reception space holds up to 180 guests and has a spacious, inviting dance floor in the center of the room perfect for your choice of entertainment whether you choose a DJ or a band.
We also invite our couples to provide a photo booth for their guests to capture memories throughout the night!
Your grand entrance through our iron cast doors is sure to get the party started.
During reception, guests will enjoy a buffet or plated dinner, drinks from our indoor bar and dance the night away!
