Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Located at the heart of a lush 162-acre private school campus, this turn-of-the-century Italianate mansion boasts beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces with an Old World, timeless quality.
- Ceremonies may be held in several spots around the grounds, within view of reflecting pools, fountains, and bountiful gardens. Inside the manor itself, you'll find lavishly appointed rooms of all sizes from the impressive Great Hall to the inviting, wood-paneled Library.
- A top-notch, experienced event staff will be there throughout the planning process to help you pull everything together seamlessly, and the in-house catering team is more than willing to create a custom menu exactly to your liking.
