An Albion Schoolhouse Wedding

On Saturday, April 26th in the mid afternoon, a wonderful couple by the name of Whittney and Daniel Beard recited their vows in the gorgeous field adjacent to The Old Albion Schoolhouse. 

They later enjoyed a beautiful family style dinner in the Master Principle Room, followed by a great night of dancing with DJ Tony De La Torre in the Library! 

 Matt Rowland dressed the event and even used a unique driftwood overhang with lanterns to add additional lighting in the dining room and beautiful drapery in the library.  Whittney looked absolutely stunning in her gown and the rustic elegance of their special day was truly heat warming!!

 I spoke with Whittney after the event and asked her how everything went. She was very happy and told me that the day was absolutely everything she wanted and she was thrilled with how everything turned out! Before bedtime, Matt's crew tore down the dining room and resembled the room back into the Master Bedroom and Daniel and Whittney enjoyed their first night married in the luxury of the Honeymoon Suite! We were so excited to host their special day at The Old Albion Schoolhouse. Thank you Whittney and Daniel! Congratulations, and to many years of happiness!!  

So much happening!

Wow!!!!


Time flies when you are having fun! 
We have been so busy at Schoolhouse Properties, I have not had time to post until now. We have lots to update you on and lots of exciting news!!
Here is what we have been up to:



On February 25th Schoolhouse Properties hosted our Grand Opening, "Back To Schoolhouse Night".

This was such a fantastic event!

We enjoyed music from John Gilmore and his jazz band in the library.
We also got the pleasure of listening to John Faurot play acoustic guitar in the grand room while our guests enjoyed local wine and beer. 


Adam Celaya from Def Chef Catering made some amazing finger foods for us including Salmon Sate, Quiche, his award winning Crab Cakes, and some tasty desert. 

       
                       All in all, it was a fine evening! Thank you to everyone that attended!




*KZYX LOCAL PUBLIC RADIO BENEFIT CONCERT *
HEADLINING OUR VERY OWN:
BILL BOTTRELL!!!

On April 19th Schoolhouse Properties hosted a benefit concert for KZYX, Mendocino Public Broadcasting.  This was a very unique event as it was headlining our very own Bill Bottrell accompaniment by the very talented, David Hayes (Van Morrison Band). 


To accomodate our ticket sales, we used the Master Bedroom for our venue.  The crowd showed early and enjoyed tasty snacks and drinks in the Grand room.  The concert room was packed and everyone sat silently until there was a song or line from a song that the crowd loved and therefore erupted in applause and cheers.  The show lasted a little more than an hour with a huge encore at the end.  Bill and David also received a wonderful standing ovation.  Bill played some of his best songs including, "Chocolate Albion", "Love On", "Under the Wire",  and music from his musical contribution to the show "Diner".


It was a magical evening full of fun and great music. Thanks to everyone who came out, KZYX benefited greatly from your contributions and your attendance was appreciated by all!!
See you at the next one!


NEW ADDITIONS!!!!!


We are SO excited to announce that we added an addition to The Albion Schoolhouse.  The lot directly adjacent to the House is now available to use for parking, large weddings,  or a play space for kids to run around and explore in a safe area! It also works great for big family games like soccer or crocket! We can now accomodate all your needs whether it be a large party or wedding down to fun vacation rental ideas. 

Updated lot pictures to be up soon.

Thank you to everyone who has used, recommended, attended, and shown your support to Schoolhouse Properties and The Old Albion Schoolhouse.  We love and appreciate our local community as well as all of our out of town visitors!
