Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built around 1928, this historic, Mediterranean-style landmark with its Byzantine-influenced detailing evokes the grandeur of a distant era. Such a magnificent setting may surprise you with its affordable pricing structure, which ensures you have plenty of breathing room for designing your day—including options to add-on elements like day-of coordination, curated candle décor, or additional prep time.
- It’s hard to resist the graceful architecture and beautiful grounds. The Duomo, a distinctive reception area beneath a soaring 35-foot dome, features warm wood accents and is lined with Palladian windows and doors that let in plenty of natural light. An adjacent covered loggia offers access to the manicured grounds.
- For a more intimate setting, dine in the Cloister, which comes with a private courtyard. The gardens surrounding the venue, accented with burbling fountains, soaring cypress trees, and carefully tended hedges, provide an elegant, European-inspired paradise for al fresco gatherings.
