Real Wedding: Emily + Ross's Elegant December Elopement
Top 3 Best Ceremony Locations Outside Ravenswood Mansion
As cooler temperatures begin to appear, the holiday engagement season is almost upon us! If you are engaged, looking to elope, or just curious about our venue, this blog is for you! Today we will explore our top three favorite spots for ceremony locations here at Ravenswood Mansion.
Front lawn in front of front porch
The front porch is an all season ceremony option and can seat guests up to 200 outside. Your guests will be facing the house with your fiance and officiant standing at the base of the external stairs. You enter from one of our sidewalks on either side of the house or you can arrive in style and drive up the driveway to exit in the circular driveway and walk to the front of the house as well!
Front of House facing away
Envision your grand entrance from the double front doors of Ravenswood Mansion and walk down the sidewalk towards our circular pavement. In the perfect round patch of grass, your ceremony backdrop can be an arbor or one of our many rental items included, or have the lush greenery from the park add to your vows. Once you and your partner are married - you can walk back up the sidewalk to begin cocktail hour! If you’d like a different entrance, you can enter in a car from the side drive way or walk in from one of our other sidewalk entrances on either side of the Mansion.
the Back field
Behind the Mansion, your guests will sit in the back field while you enter from our back covered patio as your grand entrance. Accented by the rolling hills right behind your ceremony, it is the perfect place for a golden hour ceremony and for brides who are looking for a more natural greenery look! After the vows, you can wave to your guests while heading towards our pavers to begin those “just married” glee of couples photos!
You simply cannot go wrong with any ceremony locations, but we hope this has given you some insight on where you want to get married! What is your favorite location you saw?
