There’s lots to do to get The Doctor’s House for our first weddings in July, but this might have been the most fun. We’ve planned on having Beauty give carriage rides to our couples – but we had to be sure she was up to the job. So we had local expert Dave Knight come out to see if she could perform the task. She passed her test with flying colours, and now we can’t wait for this beauty of a Beauty to help create magical weddings. We think our horse drawn carriages will be quite romantic!
Coming Soon: A New and Improved Cranberry!
We’ve been blogging so much about the construction projects to get The Doctor’s House ready for our first wedding season that we’ve been remiss about another fun project taking place right here at the cottages. Every newly-wed couple needs a newly-wed retreat, right? So we’ve been turning the Cranberry into a two story honeymoon suite, complete with hot tub, fireplace and, of course, that Ocean Delight, ocean-front view. It’s been a lot of work, but we think it’ll be worth it. And it’s almost finished!
Congratulations Stephen and Kayla!
Love is definitely in the ocean air at The Doctor’s House. Already, we’ve had our second engagement (that we know of) – and a big congratulations are in order for Stephen and Kayla. We’re thrilled that they celebrated this momentous occasion with us – and also thrilled that they took such beautiful photos and shared them. Kayla tells us that they took these photos as they walked down to the water for a picnic – which is just about the most romantic way we can think of to celebrate an engagement!
And this was the view from their back-window – hopefully an inspiring one to create lots of memories of a great getaway. Congratulations again to this beautiful couple!
Spring Has Sprung
We’ve had some beautiful days here lately – sunny, warm but not too warm, no wind. We’ve been treated to beautiful sunsets, flowers bursting forth, birds and bees getting busy with their spring cleaning. Perry was right – it is gorgeous out here this time of year.
We’re looking forward to a fun, busy weekend. The Shag It will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11-7pm. We hope to see you out on the patio, enjoying Spring with us!
First Proposal at The Doctor’s House
We’ve had some proposals at Ocean Delight, but this was long weekend was extra special as we helped pull off the first proposal at The Doctor’s House. We’ll be having lots of weddings here, so it only makes sense to start the journey here, too!
Bradley proposed to Lisa on the deck of the Limonene Room on this sunny Saturday afternoon, and she said yes! Our staff, Rosemary, Heather and Jessica, decorated the room and the deck while they were having spa treatments – it was a real surprise for Lisa, and the girls did a fantastic job.
We’re so happy to have helped this lovely couple, and we’re wishing them more than all the best. Thanks, Bradley and Lisa, for sharing your special day with us! For more pictures, please see our album on Facebook or Pinterest!
Sunday Greetings
Sunday greetings, everyone! Jerry is away visiting his daughters in British Columbia, enjoying some sunshine and some much needed R&R. In the meantime, here’s a shot from The Doctor’s House in winter, to remind us that things are going to start looking beautiful here really soon. Jerry brought great weather with him to B.C. – and maybe he’ll bring some back with him when he gets home next week!
More Progress at The Big Barn
We’ve promised to keep our brides for the upcoming wedding season at The Doctor’s House appraised apprised of all the work going on at our Big Barn. As you can see, it’s coming along nice. And, it’s quite big! Construction is still on target – we can’t wait til it’s finished!
Still Space Left for Easter Brunch
Here’s a friendly reminder as we approach the holiday weekend that we still have some spaces left for Easter Brunch at The Doctor’s House. Our beloved Chef Anna Dohey will be preparing Strawberry Spinach Salad, Ham and Asparagus Quiche, Homemade Scones with Cream and Jam, two selections of cake, Peach Mimosas, and more. Enjoy a fun afternoon in our gorgeous location, go for an afternoon stroll, and create some new Easter traditions. For more details, full menu or to make your reservation, please see here.
Spring Specials at The Doctor’s House
A few days ago we wrote about our Spring Specials at the cottages, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t also point out that our sister property, The Doctor’s House, has some tempting offers, too. We’ll be open there for Easter and Mother’s Day, offering a fabulous brunch prepared by our in-house chef. We also have options to add a second night for $99, or two 60-minute Aveda spa treatments for $129. That, plus a relaxing Girls’ Retreat weekend, are already proving to be quite popular – so don’t wait too long to make a reservation! For all our specials, please see here.
Beautiful Wedding Photos at The Doctor’s House
We haven’t hosted any weddings at The Doctor’s House yet – that’s coming up this summer. But last year a few couples came to take their wedding photos with us – it was learning experience for us, and they got to take some gorgeous shots.
Thank you to Krista Cooper, who recently shared these lovely photos taken last summer. Her sister-in-law Janice married Ace Steward last July. These beautiful images were taken by Sally Ledrew and Judi Stone, and while with such a gorgeous couple it would be hard to have anything less than stunning photos, we love how these capture the essence of The Doctor’s House, and how The Doctor’s House adds to their charm. Find more pictures of the happy couple on our Facebook site, and stay tuned, as we hope to share lots more happy wedding photos with you soon!
