I do: The Gazebo
The 130-year old Cedar Gazebo, nestled in our Garden area, is a beautiful and rustic setting to tie the knot.
The Gazebo area seats up to 120, with a covered porch for vendors and those that don't wish to be directly in the elements.
Afraid of the rain? Don't worry, the Pavilion is always available as backup--you are our ONLY event that day.

Introducing the Newlyweds!
The Pavilion is also where you'll host your reception. If you have your ceremony here, our staff will convert it into your stunning reception space during cocktail hour.
After Cocktail Hour, we will escort your guests into the Pavilion, while your Event Manager, coordinating with your band or DJ, assists in getting you and your bridal party announced into the reception, and the party officially started!
