As a New England Wedding Photographer

Glen Manor House

Glen Manor House is a historic waterfront estate that offers breathtaking views and a naturally bright setting, perfect for airy wedding photography. The property sits on Narragansett Bay, with manicured gardens, terraces, and sweeping lawns that capture soft, reflective light for portraits. Indoor spaces feature large windows and classic architecture, keeping reception photos elegant. The combination of historic charm, open lawns, and waterfront vistas provides endless opportunities for editorial-style, romantic imagery. Sunset over the water creates a dreamy golden hour backdrop, while gardens, stone pathways, and terraces offer variety and depth for portrait sessions. The estate feels intimate yet grand, providing a refined backdrop for every shot.

Couples typically book 12–18 months in advance, especially for summer and early fall weekends. Most rentals include 5–6 hours of event time. Total wedding costs generally fall in the luxury range, often $60,000–$120,000+, depending on guest count, season, and catering selections. Pricing typically includes venue access, tables, chairs, linens, and staffing. Additional fees may include service charges, taxes, and overtime if the event exceeds contracted hours. Glen Manor House can accommodate up to 200 guests, with outdoor terraces and lawns for ceremonies and portraits and indoor spaces serving as a weather backup. Catering and bar service are in-house, with tastings typically included. A food and beverage minimum applies, and bar packages are coordinated through the venue. There are getting-ready spaces on-site for the bridal party. Preferred vendors are recommended, though couples may use approved outside vendors. Nearby hotels and inns make it convenient for guests to stay close, creating an elegant and light-filled coastal wedding experience.
