Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built for Maine's 45th Governor in 1902, this grand Colonial Revival mansion has long played host to epic gatherings. The exquisite classical interior feels plucked from the past, whisking your guests away to another world. Columbus Hall is a newer addition to the historic home, and its vaulted wood ceilings add a warm, rustic touch. Partition doors allow you to easily separate the room into two spaces, and a built-in stage and oak dance floor offer ample space for a party.
- Intimate events unfold across the Mansion's opulent parlors, which may be rented separately or combined, depending on your vision. The Gold Room embodies Old World elegance, with rich cherry oak paneling and incredible leaded glass windows framed by plush drapery, while the light-filled Receiving Room feels made for mingling over canapés before the mirror-topped marble fireplace.
- Weddings here are a truly full-service experience, thanks to their talented events team, all of whom are Augusta locals. The executive chef loves creating custom, creative menus to delight every couple, and the bar manager—an expert mixologist!—delivers talent, charm, and impeccable flavors. Best of all, the Events Director is also your day-of coordinator, meaning you'll have a partner to guide you through the entire process, from first tour to farewell.
