When Katherine first arrived, she had plenty of time in our bridal suite to take an individual photoshoot as well as enjoy delicious appetizers, sparkling water and champagne while relaxing with her bridal party.
Then it was time for first look photos!
Katherine and Tom choose their first look photo location which was in front of our manor and fountain – making the perfect backdrop for their timeless and elegant photos!
Guests soon started arriving! Greeted with a champagne welcome as they waited for their magical ceremony to start!
Shortly after ceremony was cocktail hour – which included our delicious in-house cuisine.
Guests enjoyed our Antipasti Station, Taste of Italy Pasta Station, passed appetizers, passed cocktails, wine and more!
Something we like to do for our couples at The Briarcliff Manor is allow a private moment between you and your partner ten to fifteen minutes before cocktail hour ends in our bridal suite. We invite our couples to enjoy plated cocktail hour cuisine in our suite as a way to reconnect.
Guests then made their way into our reception space to pick their entrees from our custom printed menus.
During their reception, Katherine and Tom had their first dance as newly weds surrounded by all their friends and family.
We can’t forget about the cake cutting!
To end the night, Katherine and Tom took a night time photoshoot on our balcony and sealed their special night with a kiss.
