Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Colonial Manor B&B, Springfield

A wedding at Colonial Manor B&B is a small, personal affair at a Colonial Style inn on a private 11-acre grove, about two miles north of downtown Springfield on Urbana Road. Your wedding ceremony happens outdoors on the inn's spacious lawns, with the front of the house as a classic backdrop, so your photographer and videographer can capture the vows and the inn together.

Everything on your wedding day can happen at the inn. The bride and groom each have a room before the ceremony, and the reception can be on the porch, in the woodland area, or across the entire inn with the larger package. That package includes the facilities for 24 hours, a one-hour rehearsal dinner, a wedding coordinator, ceremony music, setup for up to 50 guests, a photo booth, and the honeymoon suite for the night, plus two suites for family and breakfast the next morning. A smaller package gives five hours for the ceremony, tables for up to 40 guests and two hours in the bridal room.

Food for the wedding reception in the larger package includes passed appetizers, a cheese and fruit buffet, plated service at the head table, cake cutting and a dessert bar. With a guest list this size, everyone fits in the frame for wedding pictures on the lawn, and a wedding videographer can stay close enough to catch every toast clearly.

• Call the innkeepers to check your date and talk through the packages.
• Walk the lawn and the porch with your photographer and videographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the inn's policies.

A little about Colonial Manor B&B

The inn was formerly known as The Murray House, and it describes itself as part of Springfield history, nearing its 100th anniversary. Both wedding packages come with a stay for the couple's first anniversary, a gift from the innkeepers.
