Chris and Dan built their spring wedding around the full Willow Heights Mansion property: separate preparation rooms, a balcony first look, a lawn ceremony, cocktails on the terrace, and a tented dinner before dancing inside the mansion.
The mansion kept both preparations on site
They used separate rooms in the mansion, then met on the balcony for their first look. Wedding-party and family photographs followed around the house and grounds while the lawn was still quiet.
A four o'clock ceremony on the lawn
The ceremony began at 4:00 with the rolling hills behind the lawn. Guests moved to the terrace afterward, giving Chris and Dan time for a few just-married photographs without disappearing for the whole cocktail hour.
A tented reception, sunset portraits, and dancing
Dinner and toasts happened beneath the terrace tent. Near sunset they stepped outside for a short portrait break, made a quick staged exit before photography ended, and returned to the mansion for dancing.
