Cousiac Manor
About
A waterfront wedding venue in Lanexa, Virginia, Cousiac Manor is the perfect setting for couples wishing for a rustic riverfront affair. The expansive grounds are dotted with 200-year-old magnolia trees and cedar trees, adding Southern charm to your nuptials. Serving couples throughout the Lanexa, Williamsburg, New Kent, and Newport News areas, Cousiac Manor has been enchanting crowds since its opening in 1746.
Facilities and Capacity
Built in 1746 by Augustine Claiborne, a Virginia state senator, Cousiac Manor served as a ferry point for travel between King Williams and New Kent. In 1947 the venue was purchased by the Hechler family and has, in recent decades, been preserved as a hunting and wildlife habitat. It was since opened for seasonal weddings and special events. Celebrating couples can take advantage of the get-ready suite on-site, preparing for their special day in total serenity. Their ceremony can also take place on the grounds, either in the green of the gardens or by the waterfront. Newlyweds can then enjoy a cocktail reception on the lawn of the Hechler House. The main reception experience can find its home in the Reception Hall, a refurbished dairy barn outfitted for romantic banquet dining. The dancing portion of the event takes on a life of its own thanks to the expansive dance floor, which is situated between the reception hall and the river. Twinkling lights hang overhead, casting a perfectly warm glow over your joyful evening.
Services Offered
Cousiac Manor offers an array of services and amenities. Couples who book the venue benefit from event rentals, such as tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, and more. Outside vendors are also permitted in order for couples to customize their event. The property is pet-friendly and offers setup and cleanup as part of their wedding packages.
