The elegant outdoor veranda is a popular spot for catered receptions during warmer months.

Surrounded by wisteria vines, hydrangea, and roses, this small, intimate garden provides an elegant backdrop for wedding ceremonies.

Located at the North End of the picturesque Italianate Garden, the Love Temple is a romantic structure complete with tall Ionic columns and an ornate Italian sculpture.
