So Magical!

We chose Bristow for our big day because of my husbands love for golf. The entire manor is absolutely beautiful. We were bummed whenever they told us we could not access the reception hall attached to the manor house but we had to have our reception in a tent. I honestly couldn’t even tell that we were in a tent while we were in there. The entire venue is so gorgeous, the staff paid attention to our wants and needs, and the food was DELICIOUS. The kitchen staff was very accommodating with food allergies and diet restrictions. We got so many compliments about how great the food was. The staff set up all of our decor perfectly as well.

It was a smooth wedding planning process :)

I had only 2 months to plan my whole wedding. I love that I connected well with Kelly, my wedding coordinator. She was so nice, understanding and also calm throughout the whole process.
The mansion is classy and neat and the garden is so lovely for an outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately, we had rain on our wedding day so we had to move our ceremony indoor. But everything was perfect! Everyone loved it!

2023 Wedding

Emma and Annette were great and when there was a slight mistake in the end guest count we discussed it and they were very straight forward and refunded the amount and they we very communicative and made the process and the day exceptional!

I had a great time planning with the ladies and they did all they can to try and assist with the budget.

The day of the event Emma was really helpful and the room for the bride and groom was fully equipped with snacks, drinks and very clean!

Beautiful Place, Awesome People!

We had a wonderful wedding at Bristow Manor, to say the least. The location, venue, food, staff accommodations...really everything was fantastic. The chef was very understanding of our needs and dietary restrictions. The rehearsal was quick, detailed and very effective. The venue really made the wedding feel like a fun adventure.

We would like to give a special shout out to Caitlin, the Event Coordinator, for her spectacular planning skills, patience, and kindness in planning our wedding. She went above and beyond to make our big day super special. Anybody would be lucky to have a professional like her.

Thank you, Bristow Manor, for making our wedding such a special one. We know it is not always easy to put on events like this, especially in this post-COVID environment, but we could not be happier with how the wedding went.

Simple but amazing

Love that we chose Bristow Manor to celebrate our wedding. The aesthetics were naturally beautiful so not much really needs to be done. We had a little hiccup about the ceremony location and reception location, but Caitlin and Annette did an amazing job pivoting! And it actually turned out ti be for the best. LOVED the food and the guests were raving about it!

I can’t thank Caitlin and Annette enough for making it amazing for me and my husband!

Great Venue!

We had our wedding at this event back in September and I believe we couldn't have picked a better place to get married. It was a nice small intimate wedding with close family and friends. We had 60 people and it was the perfect size. Our wedding coordinator did and amazing job keeping us posted with information and getting us in to do our tasting. The venue was recently remodeled and looked very nice day of our wedding. Drinks were delicious, our guests really enjoyed the bar.
