Happy Two Year Wedding Anniversary to S&K! This spring wedding took advantage of the beautiful weather and had the ceremony outdoors in the Lower West Gardens. We have transitioned to a much sturdier deck instead of grass but the garden is still a beautiful location for your celebration!

The Assembly room was converted in the perfect reception space by Diamondz events and catering.

Happy second anniversary to J & N! We're remembering the setup for their beautiful ceremony and then dinner in the lower level of our west gardens on a wonderful spring afternoon. We no longer have the grass there -- but the deck we have now is so much more durable.
