We cater to small intimate weddings of 100 or less. 100 is the max capacity that we can seat in the pavilion. Anyone sitting down to eat at the reception is considered a guest. Your caterer, DJ, bartender etc are not included, but your bridal party/children are included. Your RSVPs will vary based on if your guests are coming in from out of town, the time of year, and whether you've chosen a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The national average is 20-30% of your INVITE list will have to send their regrets - even though they still love you! If you are close to or slightly over the 100 max capacity, we suggest creating an A list of 100 guests and send out your invites first. For those that don't RSVP, go to your B list and invite them until you have 100 RSVPs. If you don't want children increasing your numbers, include "we have reserved two seats in your honor" or "due to the presence of alcohol all guests must be 21" on your invitation.

Rehearsals take place the day of your wedding for that stress-free experience! They take place 1 hour before ceremony start time and typically only last 10-15 minutes. This is a perfect time for the Bride to get Bridal portraits done while her escort will attend the rehearsal. The Windsor Manor coordinator will run the rehearsal and will be there every step of your day making sure everyone is in the right place at the right time!

We have a beautiful Bride's Boudoir with six makeup tables, separate changing room where dresses can be hung, and a private restroom with shower. We have a changing room and lounge for the Groom with an additional restroom across the hall. There is also a mini fridge with a compartment for ice.

We have 70 designated parking spots for our guests. A typical wedding of 100 results in about 35 or 50 cars since most guests travel in pairs.

Ceremony Area The white ceremony pergola is 16 feet wide and 9.5 feet high. There are nine hooks at the top of the pergola for hanging garland or flower arrangements, and they are spaced 24 inches apart. There are curtain rods on the right and left front sections and they are approximately 3 feet wide. If you want to hang sheers they should be approximately 92 inches in length to reach the ground. We recommend tying them to the column so they don't blow around during the ceremony. Tables For the buffet we provide 2 eight foot tables with black linens inside Windsor Manor There is an additional 8 foot table in the pavilion used for cocktail hour or gifts, and a small four foot table typically used for sweet tea or water. There are up to 10 dining tables which are 60" wide and 29.5" high. Each seats 8- 10. 10 x 10 = 100 and that is our max occupancy rating. If you are using our optional sweetheart table, it is a half round, four feet wide. We also have a standard 6 foot rectangular table that can be used in its place. We have several high top tables with stools on the dance floor with linens linens. Dance floor Our dance floor is approximately 40 x 20 and is lighted with Edison lights.

Richmond county requires an officer at any event where alcohol is being served regardless of the number of guests. Usually you will need an officer when guests start drinking till the end of the event. This service is provided in your all-inclusive package.

Our covered pavilion is 60' x 25' and was built for intimate weddings of 100 or less. Think of it as a permanent tent. 1) It's raining all day and it's not stopping: When we built the pavilion, we made sure it was centered on the side door. The wedding party would come out the side door directly into the pavilion, and would proceed up the middle of the pavilion to the carved panels at the end. Guests would be seated at tables. We do have clear plastic curtains that can be lowered to help keep out wind and rain. 2) It's patchy rain and we're not sure what's going to happen at the time of the ceremony: We would set up the chairs in the garden and if necessary dry them off before the guests arrive. We've delayed a few ceremonies a few minutes to catch a break in the weather. In this scenario we usually open the bar so guests can enjoy a glass of wine and socialize in the pavilion. When the bride is ready we ask the DJ to ask guests to make their way to the garden area. We have separate sets of chairs for the pavilion and garden so there is never any need to move chairs.

Typical timeline: 9:00-11:00am - Bride/Bridemaids Arrive for Hair + Makeup (Diamond Collection) 3:00pm - Bride/Bridemaids Arrive to get dressed (Gold + Platinum Collection) 3:30pm - Groom/Groomsmen Arrive 4:00pm - Rehearsal 4:45pm - Guests being to arrive 5:00pm - Ceremony 5:30pm - Photos / Cocktail Hour 6:30pm - Introductions, First Dance, Special Dances 6:45pm - Dinner Service 7:30pm - Toasts & Cake Cutting 7:45pm - Dance Floor Opens! 9:00pm - Grand Departure In the summer we recommend a ceremony time of about 4:30 or 5:30 to ensure the garden is in full shade. In the Fall, we recommend a ceremony time of 4pm to 5pm. This is especially important if you are having a wedding after the time change in November as it gets darker earlier and you will want time for family photos after the ceremony.

Your Windsor Manor Coordinating team will break down everything that you have brought and box it up for your family/friends to simply load in the car! We make setup and breakdown so easy for you and your family on your wedding day!

We are an outdoor venue so you will want to dress according to the weather. Our reception pavilion is partially enclosed but not heated or cooled. We provide fans/gas heaters for these areas, but only the manor itself has heating and cooling. We also recommend bringing an umbrella if it is raining and an extra pair of shoes if you are wearing heels as you will be required to wear shoes at all times. Guests are not allowed to bring pets. Trained service dogs are allowed but must display their official Service Animal attire, must be leashed and remain with their owners at all times. Dogs or pets whose sole function is providing comfort (emotional support dogs) do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and for insurance and liability reasons are not permitted. Guests may not smoke or vape inside the facility or within 10 feet of any entrance, but they may smoke away from the pavilion so long as the couple that has rented the day doesn't mind. The venue is very secluded so you will want to use GPS to find it. The most accurate GPS is google. If it tells you "you have arrived" and you don't see anything, look across the road for the 4x8 pink sign that says Windsor Manor on the corner of Windsor Spring and Crosscreek Road. We are in the middle of several hundred acres at the end of the dirt road directly behind the sign. We do have 2 handicap accessible bathrooms behind our reception pavilion. If you are bringing children, anyone under 16 must be supervised at all times.

Note: this is for couples only. Animals are not allowed to be brought with guests. Trained service dogs must display their official Service Animal attire, must be leashed and remain with their owners at all times.
