Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This tucked-away 19th-century estate is a true hidden gem, set on a quiet corner in Newport’s East Row. Designed by the same architect as the U.S. Capitol, this former home of General James Taylor (and stop on the Underground Railroad!) has been thoughtfully restored to preserve the grandeur of its past while embracing a sense of modern luxury.
- Intimate al fresco ceremonies are lovely on the second floor veranda, framed by dramatic stacked arches and symmetrical columns through which you can enjoy views of the Ohio River and city skyline. Then, step inside for a romantic reception in the Ballroom, which boasts soaring 17-foot ceilings, a dramatic lighted dome, rich mahogany woodwork, and ornate moldings.
- Your hosts’ care and Southern hospitality shines through in their dedication to the mansion’s past and their commitment to ensuring every couple’s vision, guest list, and budget is honored. You’ll enjoy exclusive use of the mansion and grounds on the big day, plus the option to customize your package with décor, bar service, and more.
