Here at The Briarcliff Manor we believe in equality and love for all!
We welcome all gay, lesbian, and LGBTQ+ couples to celebrate their love with us at our grand estate.

You and your partner will enjoy our two private suites for your final getting ready photos and final touches! We’ll provide you and your guests with sparkling champagne, a variety of beer, and an assortment of different getting ready food before you take your first look photos!

Hosting your LGBTQ+ wedding at The Briarcliff Manor is a private, exclusive matter. We only celebrate one wedding at a time making sure only your invited guests attend your special LGBTQ+ wedding.

As your wedding guests arrive, they’ll be greeted with a champagne welcome as they make their way to our wedding ceremony space.

We have two wedding ceremony spaces available for you, inside and outside, both ensuring a beautiful wedding ceremony with grand views of the Hudson River!

After ceremony, they’ll be welcomed to our cocktail hour space. Cocktail hour is the perfect time to take your golden hour sunset photos, any additional photoshoots with your family, and of course relax and enjoy our delicious in-house cuisine and your signature cocktails!

You and your partner will be brought up to one of our suites 10 minutes before cocktail hour ends to reconnect, eat and drink before your grand entrance. This special moment is something we like to offer our couples because during cocktail hour you’ll be greeting your guests and taking photos that you may not have enough time to eat everything – which is why we ensure you’ll have a plentiful amount of cuisine from your cocktail hour passed appetizer selections and stations.

Once cocktail hour comes to a close, your guests will be invited into reception to find their seats to place their dinner orders. If you’re doing a grand entrance with your bridal party and family, they will first place their orders then make their way to our foyer to line up for grand entrance! At that time, you and your partner will make your way downstairs to be announced into your reception as newly weds!
