ABOUT US

Executive Director

Deborah Moore

Deborah drove up the driveway of the Long Hill Estate while the Mansion was being renovated and after walking around the interior knew that this was where she wanted to be. ‘There is that moment when the beauty and graciousness of the mansion just captures you.’ That was 19 years ago. As the Executive Director she is responsible for the financial viability of the business, maintenance of the estate, marketing, hiring, and ensuring that brides get the day of their dreams. Prior to opening the Mansion she was owner/Innkeeper of the Inn at Chester, a 42-room full service country inn. After graduating from Colby College and Maine Maritime Academy she spent nine years at sea on oil tankers as a deck officer. When not at the Mansion, she gardens, host parties, and serves on several non-profit boards in the area. Riley, the white golden retriever often found sleeping on the marble floor, is her pride and joy.

Director of Events

Jessica Hess

Jessica began working weddings at the beginning of the 2013 wedding season as Event Supervisor. Her knowledge of Mansion weddings extends even further as she was a Wadsworth Bride herself in 2011. As Director of Events, she works with every couple from the moment they book to the day they say ``I do`` and she loves that when it comes to weddings at the Mansion, no two are alike. She takes the time to get to know each couple during their planning process and helps them with the big (and little) decisions that make their wedding day memorable and unique. When not working at the place she loves, Jessica is with her other loves; her husband and three beautiful children. Jessica is always on hand to answer questions and is happy to do what it takes to ensure a beautiful Wadsworth Mansion Wedding!
