1.Gorgeous Getting Ready Suite:
The estate’s getting ready suite is thoughtfully designed to offer a bright, elegant, and relaxing space for wedding preparations. While traditionally used as a bridal suite, it’s spacious and versatile enough to be utilized by either brides or grooms. With its soft lighting, stylish furnishings, and convenient amenities, it’s the perfect spot for candid pre-ceremony moments and beautiful “getting ready” photos.

3. Charming Library for Intimate Moments:
One of the most unique features of The Edward Anne Estate is its sweet, cozy library—a not-so-hidden gem within the venue (you see it as soon as you walk into the space lol). This space is picture-perfect for indoor portraits, signing the marriage license, or sharing a quiet, intimate moment together before the ceremony. The rich wood tones and sophisticated atmosphere create an elegant yet cozy setting for capturing unforgettable wedding memories.

4. Stadium-Style Outdoor Ceremony Space:
Unlike traditional flat ceremony layouts, the outdoor ceremony space at Edward Anne Estate is designed amphitheater-style, where the floor gently slopes downward toward the ceremonial altar. This unique setup ensures that every guest has an unobstructed view while creating a naturally dramatic focal point for exchanging vows. The combination of lush greenery, elevated sightlines, and open-air ambiance makes for a truly cinematic ceremony experience.

5. Dedicated Cocktail Hour Space – Indoors and Outdoors:
Edward Anne Estate is designed with seamless transitions between events, including a thoughtfully laid-out cocktail hour space. The venue’s first floor features three beautifully connected rooms dedicated specifically for the bar and cocktail hour.
