On the property
“Whitehall is highly recommended as a wedding venue that offers stunning views of the water and a beautiful, historical mansion that was built to perfection in 1764.”
“My favorite part of the Manor is the bridal suite, it's the perfect size and has beautiful natural lighting.”
What couples highlight
“We loved the flexibility this venue had to offer with vendors and ceremony location and received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous and well-maintained the property was.”
“We only had 1 hiccup during the whole experience which was a plumbing issue in the main house where my bridal party was getting ready, but other than that everything was seamless.”
From the reviews
My wife and I had our dream wedding at Whitehall! It is an absolutely beautiful, spacious, completely outdoor wedding venue with room for all of the activities. We hosted our welcome party, ceremony, AND reception on the property each in a different space and each as beautiful as the last.
Whitehall is an absolutely amazing place to have your wedding! My husband and I held our ceremony and reception at Whitehall in May 2021 and everything about it was perfect.
The wedding venue of our dreams!!! Look no further if you're looking for a waterfront wedding at a historic site...none compare to Whitehall! From the moment we drove through the magnolia-lined driveway, we knew this was the venue for us.
As soon as I took the virtual tour for Whitehall I told my (then) fiancé that if we booked an on-site tour there was no chance I wouldn’t want to (have to?!) get married here. The venue did not disappoint and I still remember not being able to stop smiling the first time we walked the grounds.
Getting married at Whitehall
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
