Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A family-run garden and arboretum outside the charming town of Princeton, this lovely spot is a photographer’s dream, with botanical garden displays that draw enthusiasts from around the nation.
- Exchange vows in the gardens, overlooking a peaceful pond, then meander toward your reception in the impressive, climate-controlled barn, which boasts cedar siding, exposed posts and beams, and plentiful windows.
- As night begins to fall, your guests can step onto the adjacent covered patio to admire the sunset, or play games on the lush lawns.
