A Beautiful Location with History
Beaulieu Estate has an elegance that transcends time. Originally built in the early 1900s, the estate was once a private home, designed with care and detail that reflects the elegance of the time. Its name, “Beaulieu”—French for “beautiful place”—couldn’t be more fitting.
No longer a private home, the owners enjoy using this beautiful property as an upscale venue for weddings and other events. While it welcomes hundreds of guests, the home and property still reflect its original charm. The main house with its beautiful white pillars and welcoming porches, the towering trees and the riverside views all reflect the past, giving your wedding day a sense of timelessness.
The property itself is nothing short of stunning. Spanning acres of pristine land, Beaulieu offers open lawns, secret garden corners, and majestic trees that provide both shade and a sense of wonder. One of the estate’s most enchanting features is its proximity to the river. The view of the river adds a feeling of tranquility that can be felt across the property. Beaulieu is not just a venue; it’s a storybook setting for your love story.
Getting Ready
The joy of a wedding day starts long before the ceremony. Beaulieu Estate offers beautiful homes for the couple and wedding parties to get ready. The main house has retained its original design and furnishings and is perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids. The ample space is comfortable and perfect for getting ready photos.
The upper porch offers views of the grounds and river and is where many brides have stood for bridal portraits. These stunning photos showcase not only the venue, but the bride in her gown.
Across the estate, offering privacy for both the bride and groom, is the cottage. Ideal for the groom and his groomsmen the cottage is a comfortable home full of charm, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. Both homes are rich in character and fully equipped to make your pre-wedding experience seamless and enjoyable.
Customizable Outdoor Elegance
One of the things that makes Beaulieu an ideal wedding venue is the way the grounds and buildings can transform into the wedding of your dreams. Couples can choose to exchange vows under a canopy of oaks, beside the water’s edge, or within the manicured gardens. Each location is beautiful and requires minimal decor.
After the ceremony, guests can enjoy a drink as the mingle and enjoy a signature drink along the river. The open lawns can be transformed into elegant reception spaces, complete with sailcloth tents and string lighting. Truly, it is a blank canvas waiting for your dreams to unfold while maintaining the character and elegance of the estate.
