Happy Engagement Season!


Thanksgiving marks more than just the beginning of the Christmas season; it is also the beginning of engagement season! About 1/3 of engagements in the U.S. occur between Thanksgiving and New Years, which means this is our second favorite time of the year! (Obviously, wedding season is number one J).

Although we at BMH do not currently conduct weddings over the winter season, we are thrilled for the future brides and grooms to be! For the newly engaged, once you buckle down and start planning, please contact us at Brandywine Manor House. We love weddings (really, we do), and we would love to host yours! 

For those of you with friends that are either recently engaged or you think will be soon, encourage them to call or email us. We love referrals!

All of us at Brandywine Manor House hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, as well as a happy engagement season. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Happy wedding planning!

Happy Thanksgiving!



Tomorrow marks one of my favorite holidays. Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and loved ones and to be grateful for both the good and the trying things that have happened not only over the past year, but in every aspect of life.

We at BMH have so much to be thankful for. And we want to share a small portion of that list with you, both our former and prospective brides and grooms and their families.

First, we are so thankful to the Lord for allowing us the opportunity to do what we love. He has given us yet another year to host weddings and get to know so many couples preparing for marriage. We pray that He continues to bless us as greatly in 2013! 

Secondly, we are grateful for our amazing staff. Some of you may have met and gotten to know Nancy, the event coordinator at BMH. She is not only a wonderful woman (and mother – I’m not only her employee, I’m also her daughter), but she is amazing at her job. She does not just see a wedding; she sees each couple behind it and grows to truly care for each and every one of them. Beyond Nancy, you may know that BMH is truly a family run and operated business. Nancy and her husband, daughter, sons, and sons-in-law all work together to make BMH run both smoothly and efficiently. We are so thankful for a hardworking and loving family!

We also give thanks for our vendors! Each and every vendor that comes to BMH is valued. We appreciate those we’ve known for years and those that we are just meeting. We love getting to know each caterer, photographer, florist, and the list goes on. We appreciate their work and the opportunities to make connections with other professionals in this business.

And lastly, we are thankful for you - the brides and grooms that choose Brandywine Manor House as the location to celebrate your amazing day! We appreciate each and every couple that contacts BMH, and there have even been occasions when certain members of the staff (Nancy J ) have shed tears during ceremonies. Each couple is different, and we love meeting with them and helping to plan each wedding – whether modern, rustic, big, or small. It is you – brides and grooms – that make our jobs not only fun, but also rewarding in so many ways.

We love weddings, both the planning and excitement, but also witnessing the love between couples and families. So thank you to each and every person, both past and present, that is and has been involved in the weddings we host at Brandywine Manor House.

We wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

New for 2013: The Manor Barn!


Though the construction has been underway for a time, we are extremely excited to announce the addition of yet another ceremony and reception site for the 2013 wedding season: The Manor Barn!

The Manor Barn is available as a location for your ceremony, reception, cocktail hour or rehearsal dinner! The Manor Barn is truly a versatile venue. It can be formal or casual, elegant or rustic.

Here are some photos that we've found on Pinterest to give you a little bit of inspiration regarding your possible wedding or reception inside of the Manor Barn.








We cannot wait to see what creative ways you choose to decorate for your barn wedding or reception. If you have any ideas that you didn't see here or would like BMH to know about, leave us a comment.

As always, stay in contact with us on Facebook and Pinterest, and happy wedding planning!

Looking forward to 2013!

Now that Brandywine Manor House's weddings have concluded for the 2012 season, we are looking forward to some changes for the next year's weddings!

Those of you marrying in 2013 have some exciting things to look forward to at BMH. A new addition to the venue and new avenues within social media are just two exciting ways that we at BMH are working to assure your wedding day is simply perfect!
