Construction on Wedding Banquet Hall Begins at The Doctor’s House!

Construction project in rural Newfoundland

We’re working hard to turn The Doctor’s House a world-class wedding destination. One of our steps is converting our big barn into a banquet hall that seats 200 people. We started work last week with Point Contracting, the local contractor who also built our house and cottages.

For all the grief that the winter weather has brought us, this current thaw allows us to get a foundation in early. This is a big move to help keep us on schedule.

So here are the ‘before’ shots of the Big Barn Project.  We’ll use this blog to keep all our booked wedding couples booked appraised of our progress.

And don’t worry – since this barn was currently empty, we’re not putting out any of our animals. They’re still snug-as-a-bug in their current home!Construction project in rural NewfoundlandConstruction project in rural newfoundlandConstruction Project in Newfoundland

Budding Saturday: It’s Coming

Woodstock pile in NewfoundlandI’m continually grateful to Bud Vincent for allowing me to share his stunning Newfoundland photography on Saturdays – it’s a great way to showcase Newfoundland art AND the beauty of this province. I like this piece because it reminds me that winter is coming – with all the good, like Christmas, and bad, like chopping wood! Happy Saturday, all, and remember that if you’d like to eat out tonight, we’ve got a pretty delicious meal planned at The Doctor’s House – simply call 582.2754 to make a reservation, and you can see the menu here.

Today we’re helping celebrate the grand opening of The Ivory Suite, a new and gorgeous resource for brides in town, full of beautiful, handpicked designer gowns. If you have time, stop by and join us, as there’s some great giveaways – more details here.

Love is in the (Ocean) Air

We had another first here at the cottages, of the best kind. Corey proposed to Amanda while staying in The Gannet, and she said ‘yes’ – and we couldn’t be happier for them. We felt blessed to be involved in the process in even a small way. Corey and Amanda were clearly made for each other, their smiles bigger than the diamond, their obvious love for each other making the mood here sweet and electric at the same time. Am I rambling? Don’t blame me – blame it on the young love!

While it’s too early to have set a date yet, we wish Corey and Amanda all the best and hope to see them back. They’ll at least have to send us some wedding photos!
