Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • With 172 verdant acres, this secluded estate presents a wealth of outdoor options. The rustic arbor of The Oaks, the sweeping lawn overlooking the pond, or the Woodland Forest make great ceremony sites, while the all-white, post-and-beam reception pavilion offers serene views of the property.
  • A loving restoration breathes new life and charm into unique, century-old treasures. Both St. John’s Chapel, with its tall, graceful steeple and the red Barnhouse with elegant lighting and lots of windows create inviting wedding backdrops.
  • You’ll enjoy old-time country fun with a hip, modern twist. How about cocktails in the 1850s one-room Schoolhouse…or a DIY sundae and penny candy buffet served at the Country Store! Then get delivered to your reception in a Ford Model A roadster.
