Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This magnificent 1924 mansion is also a working art gallery. Every stunning room inside showcases a rotating collection of diverse works from around the globe, and because these exhibits change regularly, you're guaranteed an inspiring, one-of-a-kind backdrop. Your photos will be equally gallery-worthy: the entry foyer, with its wrought-iron spiral staircase and stained glass windows, is a favorite setting for portraits.
  • Encompassing 9 lush acres, the impeccably maintained grounds exude romance thanks to broad lawns, palm-fringed pathways, and a lush Italian Garden highlighted by an ornate wrought-iron gazebo. Opt for a fully al fresco reception in the Center Circle Courtyard , with its necklace of twinkle lights, or dine and dance in the main gallery, where a baby grand piano is on hand for musical entertainment and a glass ceiling frames starry views.
  • This extraordinary setting is matched by the topnotch service: your exclusive catering and bar are provided by Colette's, a beloved outfit known for fabulous cuisine, stunning cakes, and impeccable attention to detail. There's valet parking for up to 200 cars—a rarity in this area!—making guest access seamless and elevated. Best of all, your fees go towards the non-profit's mission, supporting ongoing arts education and outreach programs.
