We rented out the whole property of GGM – 13 cottages + the house (which they no longer rent) for our wedding reception last September. Pricing is fairly reasonable, especially for a treasure like GGM. We had 180 people at our wedding, but having our closest friends and family together on the property all weekend made it feel so special and very intimate. Our guests raved about the accommodations – total Hampton’s charm!

From the street, GGM is quite modest and unassuming; you will be surprised at the spectacular property (and cool sculptures!) that lies behind it. We were blown away the first time we saw it and knew straight away we would be married there. You walk through this gorgeous canopy of trees, around a few snaking curves and then the back lawn unfolds. This is one of my favorite parts of the property; it really is a hidden gem.

We got married in a church across the street, but most couples have their ceremony right on the property. They have a beautiful little corner with a pretty garden for this purpose. You can set the property up however you want, using tents, bars, stages etc…. for a mood that is as elegant or casual as you like. Of note, loud noise (such as a band/loud music) and lights must go out by 11 pm. This is a town ordinance and there is no way around this. Plan accordingly.

We had a catered brunch the next day in a cozy little part of the property. This was the perfect way to wrap up an amazing weekend and having brunch on the property was a big money saver! You can also do your rehearsal dinner there – the grounds are all yours for the whole weekend!

The staff at GGM is truly special. There was a change in management from the time we booked to our wedding several months later. They handled the transition like true professionals and were eager to help us plan an amazing weekend. The staff is incredibly helpful, ensuring the rooms were in perfect condition, putting out lights we purchased to line the pathway, manicuring the grounds, delivering welcome baskets to the rooms etc… They worked so closely with me to ensure that everything went smoothly; it was like having 3 additional wedding planners!

Overall, our experience with GGM was wonderful! Our guests loved the mini-destination feel and were happy to escape Manhattan for a weekend! We heard from so many guests about how beautiful and unique our wedding was. The property is gorgeous and meticulously maintained, the accommodations are lovely, the location is perfect and the staff is kind and helpful. We plan to rent the property for our annual family reunion, just so we can go back!
