Beautiful Wedding at Wainwright House
We loved getting married at Wainwright House; it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Echoing other reviewers, any negative reviews were from before Bartleby & Sage became the point of contact for Wainwright's weddings. Wainwright was such a beautiful space and easy venue to work with that we decided to also have our departure brunch in the manor.
Wainwright House is absolutely stunning. The manor itself was a beautiful setting for family photos and our first look. We used the second floor rooms and library to get ready. It was a clean, comfortable, and large space. The house is in good condition and there are multiple bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. There's also a bedroom where the bride and groom can stay. It was perfect for the bridal getting ready photos.
The grounds overlook the Long Island sound and have a view of the Manhattan skyline in the distance. We held our ceremony and cocktail hour on the grounds before moving into the tent. One note is that the outdoor ceremony space is on grass that slightly declines towards the water. It wa perfect visually and acoustically, but guests with limited mobility might need some help getting to their seats. The grounds have a beautiful sunset over the water. Wainwright has an outdoor tent with the same view. Outdoor music does have to stop by 10pm, but we seamlessly moved indoors for an after party with a DJ in the manor. The venue is 5-15 minutes from hotels in Rye, Greenwich, and White Plains. Rye has a lot to do for guests, as well as bars for guests who want to continue the festivities.

Absolutely beautiful venue
This is an absolutely incredible venue with beautiful views - we couldn't believe how lucky we were to be able to have our wedding here at a reasonable price. There are a few drawbacks biggest ones being no amplified music outside and additional rentals needed if you're having a bigger wedding. But, the alternative of having dancing inside or spending a little extra is a wash compared to other venues that have those things built in but is more expensive overall.
Our wedding here was a dream and would definitely recommend!!
