Amenities & Guest Experience

Ceresville Mansion operates as a fully all-inclusive venue, with an in-house culinary team that sources fresh, locally-inspired ingredients and customizes menus to the couple's preferences. Each wedding is assigned a partial planner — not merely a day-of coordinator — who assists with timeline development, menu and drink selections, vendor coordination, floorplans, and day-of execution. Floral and décor packages are available through an on-site partnership, eliminating the need to source outside vendors. The bridal suite and groom's suite are available for six hours before the ceremony, with private spaces for both parties to prepare separately. Indoor backup options are available for all outdoor ceremony sites should weather require a change of plan.
