Across the property, guests will find beautifully manicured gardens, charming stone walls, whimsical willow trees overlooking the lake, and thoughtful details that feel transported from the French countryside.
Ceremony options include both outdoor and indoor spaces, with couples able to exchange vows on the lawn, the brick patio, or within the estate itself. Cocktail hour is most often held on the patio and in the stunning piano room, whose iconic black-and-white tile floor creates one of the venue’s most memorable and photogenic spaces.
The Colt Ballroom features original fireplaces and rich dark wood finishes, accommodating up to 180 guests, while the Historic Ballroom hosts up to 140 guests and overlooks the expansive patio and grounds.
