Wedding Trends
The Audio Guest Book
Today’s most popular wedding trend: the Audio Guestbook. The best displays create an experience for your guests and are designed to look like a vintage phone booth (not just an audio phone set on the end of the bar)!
So what is it and how does it work?
Guests enter this super cute phone booth, and simply pick up the phone to leave the couple happy their wishes! You’ll capture fun and heartfelt messages from special family and friends that will last a lifetime. We’ve discovered the messages begin quite sentimental from grandparents and family and tend to get funnier and funnier throughout the evening as the party goes on!
Manchester Gardens provides the Bride and Groom with the recordings following the reception.
Did you book your wedding at Manchester Gardens Venue? If so you can rent this phone booth with everything included in the photo for just $200 for your big day!
Please note: This custom audio phone booth is exclusive to Manchester Gardens brides only, one of the many benefits of being a Manchester Garden’s Bride—is the access to our extensive rental collection.
Introducing our Plant Package!
Brides hosting their wedding at Manchester Gardens Venue have the exclusive option to add our “Plant Package” to their wedding for a small fee. Beautiful flowering trees and shrubs are placed in key areas to decorate the wedding barn and reception venue to add color, texture and lovely blooms to your special day. Creating the most stunning backdrops, the nursery at Manchester Gardens grows over 12,000 plants on-site and what a wonderful way to incorporate these lovely blooms for a perfect day.
Not only does Manchester Gardens host weddings and parties and special occations at our beautiful and unique venue—our nursery grows plants too! And lots of them! Over 12,000 plants are propogated and grown in our landscape nursery every year—and we LOVE to share our blooming beauties with our brides and the parties we host.
Our employees choose the prettiest plants in our nursery—flowering trees, blooming annuals, lush ferns, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses and flowering shrubs to share with our guests. We choose the best looking plants in the nursery and move them into key areas in the venue to enjoy during your event. Leave them in place, or move them around to your liking for your party. After your event we will return the plants to their home back in the nursery and greenhouses. The cost of the plant package is just $250 and it is well worth the color and texture our garden plants add to your decor. This is a rental favorite among our brides!
