Your Guide to the Getting Ready Areas at Gabrella Manor
The moments leading up to a wedding are often some of the most cherished of the entire day. The laughter, the anticipation, the final touches, and the quiet pauses shared with the people you love most. Having a comfortable, thoughtfully designed place to get ready sets the tone for everything that follows.
Couples at Gabrella Manor have access to two distinct getting-ready spaces plus an intermediary space that allow the morning to feel calm, connected, and intentional.
The Gabrella Room
Often referred to as the Bride’s Room, the Gabrella Room is filled with soft light and timeless charm. It offers a spacious vanity area for hair and makeup, a large restroom and changing space, and plenty of room for the wedding party to prepare comfortably.
One of the most loved features of this room is its generous size and thoughtful layout. A raised platform is typically used to display the wedding gown, often styled alongside our vintage pink chaise, creating a beautiful and memorable focal point for photos and quiet moments before the ceremony.
The Gabrella Room also offers access to two balconies. One overlooks the Pavilion and is often used as a private space for couples to enjoy a quiet dinner together before being introduced at the reception. The other balcony overlooks the Courtyard and is frequently used as the grand entrance point as the bride begins her walk down the aisle.
The Manor Room
Just down a short hallway sits the Manor Room, commonly used as the Groom’s Room. It provides a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with lounge seating and a poker table, offering a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy time together before the ceremony.
The room includes dedicated areas for suits and jackets, along with a large restroom featuring a full-length mirror to allow for final adjustments and preparations.
The Parlor
The Parlor is an additional upstairs space located near the Manor Room hallway. It serves as a welcoming gathering area for extra family members, members of the wedding party, or guests who want a comfortable place to relax while preparations are underway.
Many couples choose to have snacks and drinks from our catering kitchen displayed here, making it easy for family and friends to grab refreshments throughout the morning. The Parlor helps keep everyone close and connected without crowding the primary getting-ready spaces, creating a warm and hospitable environment.
Spaces Designed With Intention
Each getting-ready space is thoughtfully arranged to support the natural flow of the day. These rooms offer comfort, privacy, and a peaceful atmosphere that allows everyone to ease into the celebration. They hold the early conversations, the quiet excitement, and the meaningful moments that shape the story of the wedding day.
For couples planning with us, these spaces become part of the experience. They set the tone, create lasting memories, and provide a beautiful beginning to a day that means so much.
