My husband and I absolutely loved Bristow Manor from the moment we saw it. It is such a romantic, elegant setting and we loved the aspect of having access to the manor house, attached reception hall with the beautiful lights, and the outdoor space. It truly was a 3 in 1! Bettina was such an amazing wedding coordinator and made us feel so much more relaxed about the little details that go into planning a wedding. She has a ton of experience and gave us amazing advice and recommendations throughout, while at the same time really trying to understand and carry out our vision.

Great All Inclusive Venue.
Bristow Manor was the perfect venue for my southern rustic chic wedding. Bettina was an amazing wedding coordinator and truly brought my vision to life. The ability to have my wedding and reception in the same space made a huge difference and in the end my day was beyond perfect. Very professional and accommodating staff.
