Highlighted Wedding Venue: The Briarhurst Manor




A tiny mountain town, a historic Victorian Manor, hundred year old apple trees, a bubbling mountain stream, an immaculate lawn, a view of Pikes Peak, and award winning food. A bride's dream. But, could such a place exist?
Well, it does! The Briarhurst Manor was built in 1872 out of finely grained pink sandstone with artistic chimney pots, stone gargoyles, and numerous architectural details. Inside, the Manor remains much the same as it was originaly envisioned, with 12 unique fireplaces, 12 main rooms showcasing fine woodworking, and an elegantly paneled entrance hall graced by a hand carved staircase of Gothic design.
Outside hosts several areas to say "I do." The Conseratory Patio has a beautiful view of the mountains and deer are often grazing near by. The West Wing Terrace offers a fairy tale setting with its own gazebo, a bandstand, wonderful views, and beautiful trees. The Tea House is perfect for smaller weddings. Its garden gazebo is surrounded by fragrant flowers with a view of the Manor.
The photo opportunities are endless! The Manor itself is perfect for bride's. With the stunning staircase, stained glass windows, pink stone, and fireplaces, it is a bride's dream come true! Outside is just as magical!
Every year the Briarhurst Manor wins the Best of the Springs Place for a Wedding Reception and it is easy to see why. If you are engaged and have not picked your venue yet, you should make and appointment to visit the Briarhurst. Even if you have your venue picked; the Briarhurst can host rehersal dinners and bridal showers.
