I chose the Bourne because it was so different, the high ceilings..not too many have heard about it. I also heard the food was really good there, which is very important to me. They do 1 wedding at a time, and they have a ceremony location. Its very different. Thats what I was going for. Feel free to FM me with any other question you many have.

I heard the site may have gone up...I am having a Friday Night wedding and the Site fee is $3950...is that what the site fee is for your date too?

Re: Lessings Locations
I looked at both (couldn't afford either). IMHO, the Bourne Mansion wins hands down over Coindre Hall though. At Coindre the dancing and dinner are in two separate rooms, which I didn't like at all.

Yup, I guess it did go up. I couldnt afford a Saturday night...it was way over our budget.
I would look at the Bourne and see if you work something out with the price,,,since the site fee is non negotiable.
good luck!

My step-sister got married at Bourne Mansion last year and it was awesome! The place and the grounds are gorgeous. I also remember the food being really good too. I don't know anything about the prices, though.

Re: Lessings Locations
I'm getting married at the Bourne, and I picked it as soon as I walked in.
The ballroom and grounds are just so nice (and big). I also search all the boards already for reviews and only found one bad one out of about a dozen.
And it was from a guest who didn't like the steak.
Oh well, mostly everyone I know raves about it so I'm taking my chances.
