Food for Thought

So much goes into executing flawless events and food is at the very top of that list. Our Executive Chef, Thomas Heilman and his talented Sous Chefs, turn out amazing food on a weekly basis. It is said that people eat with their eyes, meaning presentation goes a long way. Chef Tom and all of the staff in the Ceresville Mansion kitchen are experts at presentation. Of course it helps if the food tastes good too and trust me....it does.

The following pictures are from recent events at Ceresville Mansion and depict some of our most popular passed and displayed hors d'oeuvres.

Weekend Weddings

As we dig out of what will hopefully be the last snowfall of the season, Ceresville Mansion is cleaning up after a busy weekend of weddings. We hosted three receptions here this weekend and wanted to share some of the photos. Keep in mind that we like to leave the picture taking to the professionals and ask that you be forgiving in our attempt at photography. :)

Christine & Derek started off the weekend with an afternoon ceremony on Saturday. The ceremony was held in our ballroom at 11:30 and attended by 150 guests. After the ceremony the guests retreated to the front of the house for cocktail hour, sampling some of Chef Tom's finest hors d'oeuvres. Guests enjoyed a formal seated luncheon and danced the afternoon away. The bride & groom made their exit amid tossed rose petals into a vintage car. Ceresville wishes Christine & Derek every happiness life has to offer! Congratulations!

Kelly & Garett also were married at Ceresville Mansion on Saturday. Their 6:30 ceremony was celebrated in front of our beautiful fireplace in the ballroom. After the ceremony bridal party and guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the front of the house, while the Ceresville staff turned the ballroom over for reception seating. Kelly & Garett celebrated their new life together with family and friends well into the evening.

Last but not least, Kindra & Juan Carlos were wed at Ceresville on Sunday morning. Their ceremony was officiated by the father of the bride and attended by family and close friends. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour, the bridal party took photos in the ballroom and on the terrace. The luncheon begin with Chef Tom's Shiitake Mushroom Bisque and ended with wedding cake made my the parents of the groom. Kindra & Juan Carlos danced and mingled with guests througout the afternoon. Guests sent the happy couple off at the end of the afternoon with bubbles! Congratulations, Kindra & Juan Carlos!


Thank you to these three beautiful couples for allowing Ceresville Mansion to be a part of their day! We wish them all the best!
