A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- An ornate entry fit for royalty greets you at this gated estate. Views of the Lewis River, valley, lush gardens, and forested ceremony sites create a fairytale-like setting.
- The sprawling indoor space features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and lots of chandeliers. Service is equally impressive, with an array of packages and exclusive use of the property.
- Luxurious suites will entice you and your guests to stay on. The honeymoon suite includes a fireplace, French doors, fainting couch, balconies, sweeping views, and a sumptuous brunch.
