The Berry’s Vision Realized

Wedding reception hall at our Newfoundland inn and spaI’m a businessman at heart, so I see all the potentials for growth out here on the Baccalieu Trail, and at The Doctor’s House in particular – we have some big dreams, and we’re working hard to accomplish them. But all credit is due to The Berry for making our grounds and barn and reception hall for being as stunning as it is. I’m not sure where her ideas came from, but the result is truly beautiful, and has already made for some stunning weddings. She had the vision, we had some great people helping us, and we’re really happy with the results. That’s always a good feeling!Wedding aisle at our Newfoundland cottage rentalsThanks again to our good friends Albert Legge and Shirley George for the lovely photos (and find more photos of The Doctor’s House on our Pinterest page!)

The Wedding March Continues

Wedding hall at our Newfoundland wedding destinationWe’re barely into August, and the wedding march continues at The Doctor’s House! We spent a lot of time working for and thinking about our first wedding season, and now it’s half over – with several happy couples happily married under our watch, we should add. This lovely photo of our reception hall was taken by our good friend, Albert Legge. And of course our resident wedding photographer is Allison George, whose lovely work we’ve also been lucky enough to feature on the blog.  And if you’re interested in learning more about our weddings, please email Dana at info@doctorshousenewfoundland.com – we know she’ll love to answer all your (hunk of) burning love questions!

Congratulations, Victoria and Patrick!

Beauty is a Beauty

Newfoundland ponyThere’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!

Beautiful Wedding Photos at The Doctor’s House

Wedding at the doctor's house in newfoundlandWe 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!

More Wedding Progress

Wedding construction at our Newfoundland resort inn and spaConstruction on the Big Barn for our upcoming first wedding season at The Doctor’s House continues. This past week was all about interior work. The great workers from Point Contracting are building the complicated roof arches inside the building. We hope they’ll start putting them up next week.

We are working on the electrical and lighting designs now. It’s all coming along!More construction for weddings in Newfoundland

Big Barn Update

Construction project for wedding venue in NewfoundlandWe’re offering weddings at The Doctor’s House in July 2014, and we have some construction projects to finish before then. So we’re using the blog to keep our brides and couples updated about our progress. Here’s the Big Barn. It was actually too cold to do too much work last week (thankfully, we’re still on schedule). So our team just finished the lower extension last week, and will get busy this week if it warms up!

If you’d like to see about the wedding services we offer, please see here. And stay tuned to the blog, as we’ll be announcing the winners of our Spa and Stay packages that we drew after our two recent Bridal Shows.
