Why Bucks County Brides Love Saying I Do in the Arbor Gardens
An outdoor ceremony followed by an elegant indoor reception is one of the experiences couples appreciate most at The Warrington. Our Arbor Gardens provide a beautiful setting for saying "I do" before the celebration continues indoors. That first look matters, and it is one of the reasons so many Bucks County couples choose to say their vows outdoors with us before moving the celebration inside.
Your Ceremony in the Arbor Gardens
The Arbor Gardens provide a dedicated outdoor ceremony space with a landscaped setting, a ceremony arch, and a 100-foot aisle. It is a space we have refined over time, and it shows in the small details, from the arch to the way the aisle carries you toward your guests.
Photos That Capture the Moment
Once the ceremony wraps, the same gardens that hosted your vows become your photo setting. The arch, the aisle, and the landscaped grounds give your photographer a range of spots without leaving the property. After the ceremony, the landscaped gardens, ceremony arch, and surrounding grounds provide beautiful locations for wedding portraits before everyone gathers indoors for cocktail hour.
Moving Indoors for Cocktail Hour and Reception
Here is where the day changes pace. Once your ceremony ends, we move everyone indoors, since we host receptions inside rather than outside. Cocktail hour includes our Artisanal Market Station, a grazing table with meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, bruschetta, and hummus, along with butler-passed petite plates for guests who prefer to mingle rather than stand in line. The Arbor Room, with its large windows looking out over the gardens you just married in, works well for this part of the evening.
For dinner, your reception includes a champagne toast, a first course of salad or soup with artisanal rolls, a main entrée with four options for your guests to choose from, and a dessert course featuring your wedding cake with seasonal garnish, plus coffee and tea service. The bar pours top-shelf selections, including Maker's Mark, Jameson, Ketel One, Tito's, and Tanqueray, along with signature craft cocktails made with fresh juices and syrups.
A Team That Keeps Everything on Schedule
Every wedding here is staffed with an on-site coordinator, a manager, and a general manager, so the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception is handled by people who do this regularly. Floral centerpieces and your wedding cake are included in the package, and couples receive a complimentary consultation with our partnered vendors to plan both.
Choosing the Ballroom That Fits Your Guest List
Reception and ceremony capacity ranges from 50 to 300 guests, and we offer reception spaces for celebrations, allowing couples to choose the setting that best fits their wedding. The Wedgewood Ballroom is built for larger celebrations, while the Crystal Ballroom suits a more intimate guest list. Since catering and bar service are handled in-house rather than through outside vendors, your menu, bar, and reception space come from one team that already knows how the Arbor Gardens ceremony flows into the rest of the evening.
Conclusion
If the idea of walking down memory lane and celebrating in a ballroom just steps away sounds like the day you have been picturing, we would love to show you around. Reach out, and we can walk you through how a ceremony in the Arbor Gardens turns into a reception inside one of our ballrooms.
