We had the perfect October weekend for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, and Mountainville Manor helped make it so lovely for us and our guests! We began planning our wedding afternoon at MM more than a year in advance, and in that time I was to develop a wonderful relationship with Lauren and her staff, which added to the excitement of our special day! And what a fun time we had in the bridal suite - a fabulous start to a truly wonderful day at Mountainville Manor! Thank you so much to Lauren, James, Sandy, Chef Craig, and your staff!
