The Perfect Setting
With over 125 acres of beautiful grounds as the backdrop to your perfect day, Pine Manor offers several venues and spaces to host every part of your wedding festivities in absolute privacy. Here are some of our favorite locations – or feel free to find your own special spot. With the capacity to host an intimate ceremony to a grand reception, and everything in between, the blank canvas you will find can accommodate an event of any size.
The Gazebo
Next to the Pine Manor front lawn, you’ll find a sweet white gazebo which serves as a gorgeous shaded stage to say “I do” with loved ones surrounding you and Pine Lake behind you. The soft sound of the fountains, the sun behind you, and rich greenery surrounding could be the perfect setting for the wedding of your dreams!
The Gardens
Behind the Pine Manor main house, the gardens, exterior courtyard and outdoor kitchen also serve as a beloved wedding location for ceremonies, receptions, or both! Guests will enter through the gilded iron gates, under an arbor of climbing vines, and into the courtyard where a stone fountain takes center stage. The space can be transformed to fit your needs, whether you are dreaming of a quaint garden wedding or are longing for a romantic place to have your first dance under twinkling lights.
The Pergola
On the side lawn of Pine Manor sits an Italian pergola, overlooking the Pine Manor gardens. The bridal party will walk out of Pine Manor, through the exterior courtyard, and through the gardens as they make their way to the steps of the Pergola to meet their soon-to-be spouse. Elevated from the ground, this makes a great location for a larger ceremony and places the happy couple at center stage. The structure can be decorated to match any theme or left alone for its natural beauty. After the ceremony, guests move to either the pool bar and front lawn for cocktail hour and a grand reception, or they can retreat to the gardens for a more intimate garden party reception.
The Outdoor Fireplace
For a warm, intimate wedding, several couples choose to get married at the outdoor fireplace on the front lawn of Pine Manor. The rich red brick can offer a more rustic look to a refined wedding. Brides will walk along a stone path to stand in front of the fireplace where romance will glow and love will warm the hearts of all in attendance.
Pine Manor Lake Front
The Pine Manor Lake Front serves as one of the most beautiful locations and has the capacity to host even our largest weddings. With Pine Lake and its three fountains as a backdrop, the bride will walk out of Pine Manor Estate, down the steps, and to the lake where she will meet her groom. The lakefront, while beautiful on its own, can be designed to fit any aesthetic and meet the needs of the couple.
The Steps of Pine Manor
The first wedding held at Pine Manor, and several after, have been hosted on the steps of Pine Manor. With the entire front lawn to accommodate guests, and a beautiful backdrop with the emerald green door and lanterns above, it is a timeless and elegant venue choice for couples to start their forever.
Planning Services
At Pine Manor, our experienced staff is here to ensure that every detail is taken care of well in advance of your wedding day. We will meet with brides throughout their planning process, connecting with their vendors and ensuring that a plan is in place so no “i” goes undotted and no “t” is left uncrossed. We are here to help as much or as little as brides would like from full planning and coordinating services to simply renting the space – and everything in between. Meet with our staff to discuss your needs and let us help you achieve the wedding of your dreams.
One of the things our couples love most is the ability to host all of their wedding events on the grounds at Pine Manor. From the rehearsal dinner to the post-wedding brunch, fishing, yard games, pool parties, wine tastings, or whatever you can dream up – all can be incorporated into your wedding festivities!

Our brides fall in love with our beautiful and brilliant bridal suite, where you’ll feel like royalty as soon as you step into the room. Featuring a lavish lounge area, expansive bathroom, ample natural light, separate dressing room, cathedral ceilings, antique chandeliers, and a grand king sized bed, it’s the perfect place to indulge in absolute luxury as you get ready with your bridesmaids. Soak in every moment, step onto the balcony overlooking Pine Lake to take in the beauty of your day, and sip champagne before stepping into your gown in the dressing room. Take a moment to look at your reflection in the floor-length three-paneled mirror becoming an absolutely breath-taking bride before you become a wife.
Meanwhile, our grooms thoroughly enjoy the separate and secluded Oak Manor Plantation Home, where boys can be boys and give the ladies their privacy. Complete with a poker room, movie theatre, outdoor patio, wine and whiskey tasting room, and two private lakes, the grooms’ party can enjoy a fun day of bonding before getting dressed and going to await the bride at the end of the aisle.
Our couples frequently say that one of their favorite parts of their wedding weekend is that both families and their close friends are on-site to experience it all with them. After the wedding festivities wrap up, return to Pine Manor one last time for a post-wedding brunch and send off your guests with full hearts and full stomachs.
