Manoir Maplewood

Manoir Maplewood gives an Eastern Townships wedding the feeling of having an entire Victorian estate handed over to the celebration.

Perched above Waterloo just over an hour from Montréal, the historic manor is surrounded by mature gardens and countryside, with the whole property reserved exclusively for one group at a time.

That means the wedding can unfold instead of simply happen.

Vows can be exchanged beneath the maples with up to around 120 guests.

Cocktails can move onto the terrace and gardens.

Then up to 80 guests can gather for a seated dinner inside before the evening carries on through the manor.

And everyone does not have to leave.

Eighteen guest rooms sleep up to 59 people, allowing the celebration to stretch from welcome drinks in the garden to a farewell brunch in the solarium.

That changes the feeling completely.

The people closest to the couple wake up in the same place.

Stories from the night before are retold over breakfast.

And the manor becomes attached to an entire wedding weekend rather than a few reception hours.

For couples dreaming of Québec countryside, history and a house full of favourite people, Manoir Maplewood offers exactly that.

An estate with stories already in its walls.

And enough room for one more.
