It sits on a well-manicured lawn that features a side garden, allowing wedding events to spill outdoors depending on the weather and the season. The rooms are decorated like a sophisticated home, with antique-style furniture, golden chandeliers, crown molding, and - of course - works of art hung along all the walls that are supplemented in places by statues and curio cabinets. In one of the main banquet rooms, the walls are made of ornate and darkly colored wood.

  • Bridal suites
  • Outside vendors

  • Setup of tables and chairs
  • Wireless Internet

History

The history of the estate can be traced back to 1723 as a land grant. The owner's son constructed the brick mansion after his father's death in 1892. Other buildings were also built on the property, many of which are still in use today, like the Kentlands Mansion. The lands were purchased by Otis Beall Kent and given a name that still sticks to this day: Kentlands. The property underwent a massive reconstruction and restoration project in the hands of the new owner. It was expanded at one point to 1,100 acres as a gentleman's estate and wildlife sanctuary.

Romantic Kentlands Mansion = Perfect backdrop for wedding day

I fell in love with Kentlands Mansion on my first visit and every visit since has been just as magical. The mansion itself is gorgeous inside and out. The grounds and surrounding area are so quiet and quaint, and the inside layout is so spacious yet warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and welcoming which made it an easy choice to have our wedding there! I loved that there was private space for us to get ready, an outdoor or an indoor option to have our ceremony, and ample room for a reception all at the mansion. Our day of romance was enhanced by the romance of this space!

Fantastic Venue!

Kentlands Mansion was the perfect spot for our 125 person wedding. Kentlands staff worked with us to have a flexible cocktail-style arrangement, with one room with more sit-down tables and seating everywhere. There is also seating outside and a catering kitchen adjacent to the dining room where we arranged our buffet table. Everything worked out smoothly and Antonia worked closely with us in the month leading up to the day. We had to go for our rain plan, but the outside garden would have been gorgeous for the ceremony!

Kentlands is one of my favorite wedding venues in the area. The building is awesome for getting ready shots, the ceremony (inside or out) and for the reception. Moreover, the grounds around Kentlands Mansion are ideal for bride and groom portraits. Everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and accommodating and will work with you to make your wedding a perfect day to remember. I have shot many weddings there and always look forward to the next one.
