Sunset Sunday: Renee and Chris

Wedding at the doctor's houseHere’s a fun picture for Sunset Sunday, captured by Sandra Lee Photography. It’s Renee and Chris, who got married at The Doctor’s House this spring. What a beautiful evening, what a beautiful sunset, and what a beautiful couple. We hope you’re enjoying your weekend, and if you’d like to learn more about weddings at The Doctor’s House, please see here.

Cheese, Please

Cheese platter for our last weddingHard to believe our first wedding of the season was already a week ago – time flies! Here’s a little veggie and cheese dip platter that Chef Stephen Shepherd lovingly put together for Renee and Chris – he is truly an artist, specializing in chocolate and pastries, and he catered their wedding to rave reviews.

And of course, he’s not to be confused with Chef Stephen Pynn, our amazing excutive chef who has created a new, fine dining experience at The Doctor’s House. Dinner is served tonight – perhaps we’ll see you there?

Spring Specials Extended at The Doctor’s House

Horses in NewfoundlandA little good news as we head into the weekend: we’ve just extended our Spring Specials at The Doctor’s House through June (June 27, to be exact).  That includes our Spring Mini-Fling and our Ladies’ Retreat at The Doctor’s Guest House. The weather is just starting to get nice, and the flowers are just starting to bloom, so we want to share this beautiful season with as many people as possible!

Laurelyn’s also come up with some great new spa packages (including specials for bridal parties), and the Spa is soon going to be open Monday-Thursday. And of course, we’ve got our full menu on tonight and tomorrow at Dining at The Doctor’s House. So yes, we’re getting busy! Happy Friday!

Puppy Love

wedding at our newfoundland resortOK, last shot of Renee and Chris – at least for awhile! What can we say – we love our Doctor’s House couples! And here’s just about the cutest candid wedding shot around. Given how many many ‘four-leggeds’ there are in our family, we can certainly relate. Beautifully captured by Sandra-Lee Photography, we love seeing all members of the family included in the special day!

And while we’re on the subject, here’s what Renee recently commented on our Facebook page: “We could not of asked for a better venue or weekend!! Exceeded our every expectation!!!
Thank you for helping create our perfect Wedding Day!!
A true hidden Gem in NL!

We say it all the time, but it is truly us who are grateful, when we’re trusted to play such an important role on such an momentous day. So here’s to many more great weddings this season!

Congratulations, Renee and Chris!

Wedding at our Newfoundland resortA big congratulations to Renee and Chris, our first couple to get married at The Doctor’s House this season. The sun was smiling on this beautiful couple, and we’re so happy that they had a lovely day. And we’re so proud of our team, who worked hard and in tandem all day, to make everything just right. Thank you to Renee, Chris and their families for spending the day with us, and we’re looking forward to many more to come! Find more pictures on our Facebook page.

Future Chapel

Wedding chapel in NewfoundlandWe have big plans for The Doctor’s House and the Baccalieu Trail. We’ve been blessed with this amazing natural resource created by Nature and Dr. and Mrs. Boddie (our namesakes). And we’re continuing to grow, bringing in human resources to match our natural ones.

One of our plans is to convert this barn into a wedding chapel. Our vision: a bride will arrive at this chapel on a horse drawn carriage (currently available), get married in the chapel – or the bridal garden – or the house – or the Barn Loft – and then celebrate her reception here, too.

So here is the pony barn slated for conversion. We’ll be modelling it after a beautiful one a friend found in Scotland.  Stay tuned as we unveil more and more of our plans – including our Fine Dining plans for this year. We’re opening soon, and we can’t wait!

Devotion Show This Weekend!

See you soon!
