What is so special about a winter wedding? Only EVERYTHING!

Winter weddings are simply stunning in Groton at The Barn at Gibbet Hill.  Think holidays…Chanukah, Christmas, New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day!  Think comfort food and warm beverages…hot chocolate, warm cider and mulled wine.  Think textiles…heavy fabrics, leathers boots, fur stoles!  And of course glistening, pure white snow!

Winter weddings are in a class of their own, often standing out for their beautiful and distinctive features!  See the lovely images below to see for yourself.

Schedule your wedding for April 1, and you might imagine buds beginning to come out of the soil, maybe some green starting to pop on the trees….but do you imagine snow?   Yael and Catherine were surprised to endure a huge snow storm on their April 1 wedding!  But this adventurous couple took it all in stride with smiles on their faces.  Photographer Dan Aguirre trekked out with them throughout the property to capture some magnificent images.  Ceremony and reception kept everyone warm and dry in The Barn.  A sample of their day below:

Take a stroll to the top of Gibbet Hill, and you’ll find the stone ruins of an old home built in the early 1900’s.  The skeleton of two fireplaces and a tall turret are pieces of what remain of the home, inspiring many people to call it a castle.

Recently, Jen and Gregg were married at the “Top of the Hill”.  This exclusive space is only available a few times a year for ceremonies and receptions, and Jen and Gregg added details that only enhanced the beauty of this location. The florals, the linens & special decor details, including the plane flyover, were simply amazing!  Scroll down for a few highlights!

Best wishes Jen and Gregg!
