Wedding Ceremony
Choose your own setting – perhaps at the edge of the woods or on a wisteria canopied terrace using the architectural detail of the mansion as a backdrop. In winter months, make the grandest of entries down a beautiful stairway into the main hall. Exchange vows in front of a fireplace mantel of the finest design and detail. Prepare for the ceremony in the bride's room, complete with antique "fainting couch."

Reception
Choose either a buffet style or sit down meal prepared by the licensed and approved caterer of your choice. Our Chiavari banquet chairs and round tables are available for rent. Use the terrace, covered porticos, or reception rooms to seat your guests for a party they will long remember. They are invited to stroll through the mansion during breaks from dining, dancing, and other festivities. 

Other Services
Beautiful silk floral arrangements have been designed for the mantels and buffet table. A representative will be available during your event should you have need of information or assistance with fireplace usage, etc.
