WE NEED
MORE LOVE
What started as a Pine Brook Manor wedding experience has grown into something much bigger.
We bought a wedding venue. Our first big decision was to give away a wedding. Then the wedding community showed up. Photographers, planners, designers, and creators began contributing their talents, helping turn WE NEED MORE LOVE into a community-supported wedding experience valued at more than $26,000.
Love inspires love. That became the whole point.
Pine Brook Manor has been welcoming guests since 1895.
For generations, people have come here to gather, celebrate, reconnect, rest, and mark meaningful moments in their lives.
When we reopened the estate as a private wedding venue and historic inn, we wanted our first major decision to reflect what this place has always been meant to hold.
Love. Gathering. Hope. Connection.
At first, WE NEED MORE LOVE was simply a Pine Brook Manor venue experience. Then something unexpected happened.
The wedding community started showing up.
Photographers offered their services. A planner offered her expertise. A designer offered decor. A content creator offered her talents. People shared the story. Couples opened up and submitted deeply personal stories.
What began as one wedding experience has grown into a community-supported wedding package valued at more than $26,000.
Because of that response, applications are now open through June 30, 2026.
One couple will be selected. Because love is worth celebrating, and right now, the world could use more of it.
