Bucks County WEDDINGS

Wedding Celebrations

Holly Hedge Estate Bed & Breakfast

Built in the 1780s and originally part of the William Penn land grant, HollyHedge Estate is situated on 21 bucolic acres just north of downtown New Hope. The estate’s rustic charm has become a premier Bucks County wedding destination.

According to General Manager Tim Luccaro, his family has been committed to preserving the elegance and natural beauty of their 18th-century farm and estate since taking over in 1994. “We are really proud of our historic and environmental stewardship at the estate. We really believe that we are responsible for mitigating the ecological impact of our weddings, and ensuring that the rich history of the property is preserved for future generations,” Luccaro says. His family has refurbished many of the historic buildings, restored the estate’s architectural features, and rejuvenated its land. They have a number of acres of land that were put under cultivation to grow various items that they can use in the preparation of food for weddings and their inn guests. “We are taking farm-to-table and sustainability to a new level. Really striving to be an industry leader in corporate responsibility. The food we can’t grow on site, we try to obtain from local sources,” Luccaro says.

The estate has several areas of interest for brides and grooms to utilize during their weddings. There is a classic fieldstone bank barn, which is popular for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. “The Old Barn’s” original construction highlights exposed fieldstone and wood beams with massive vaulted ceil-

ings. Adjacent to it is a classic English garden. On the property there also are two small ornamental ponds, seasonal gardens, wildflower preserves and various historic outbuildings that offer unique backdrops for wedding pictures. A newer pole barn was constructed for receptions in 2002. This space has all of the modern amenities needed for a celebration. The estate’s original manor house has 15 guest rooms. Inn guests are invited to enjoy a full-service breakfast on weekends from Chef Krystal Weaver. HollyHedge Estate has garnered numerous awards over the years including annual Couple’s Choice Awards from Wedding Wire and The Knot. They were recently inducted into The Knot Hall of Fame. The estate can host up to 200 guests for a wedding. Couples have access to their full-time onsite wedding planners. All of the catering at HollyHedge Estate is done in-house. Executive Chef Jose Calderon and Sous Chef David Fry offer a large menu characterized as Nouveau American cuisine with French, Asian, and Spanish influences. Pastry Chef Janine Harrison does all of the baking on site as well. There are several wedding packages as well as completely customizable options.

You can contact the wedding coordinators at HollyHedge Estate today to reserve your wedding date or schedule a tour by appointment only.

The process is simple and easy. TC explains, “The bride would go to EventRoostr.com and see the venue and experience packages that she wants, and she would procure those services with a 10 percent deposit on the platform, so it is an e-commerce platform with payment plans to make affording wedding expenses more comfortable.

The bride’s investment is protected. TC says, “Every single event that is booked through our platform are 100 percent insured. All of the vendors, even down to the wedding itself is insured. In other words, she can get complete insurance coverage for every aspect of her wedding.”

The bride also has lots of options and there are different varieties of experiences that a bride can choose. “For example, maybe a bride already has the DJ but needs décor and photography, she can select a specific package that only includes décor and photography and once she has that package, she puts a deposit on the platform, and she has photography and décor locked in.”
