The Grande Gazebo
The white Grande Gazebo is iconic and breathtaking, 30 feet wide and nestled within the vineyard, where guests are seated among the vines for a truly picturesque experience. Encircled by a vibrant red Burning Bush hedge, it is an intimate location for small rehearsal dinners, outdoor cocktail hours, or ceremonies. The secluded Gazebo features an oversized cook stove, cast iron tables and seating, a spacious brick patio, and a firepit – the ideal gathering place for your guests on a crisp evening. Romantic and unforgettable, the Grande Gazebo is more than just a wedding site – it’s an experience.
The Corn Crib II
Reimagined and repurposed, the Corn Crib II is bursting with character and charm. This space – once an auxiliary agricultural structure for storing corn and equipment – has been restored, retaining its original 19th century wood and design. The Corn Crib II is a dreamy and unparalleled site for bridal parties to get ready and for photos. Importantly, you get access to this space both in early morning and late evening, perfect for day-of preparation and end-of-event decompressing. Artistic murals on the exterior of the Corn Crib II offer stunning glimpses of the past and the original Star Barn – blending a rich heritage with modern and artistic trendiness for your vineyard wedding.
The Grande Canopy Tuscan Tent
In a quiet corner of the estate, nestled beneath our beautiful white pines, the Grande Canopy Tuscan Tent is just the way you envision. Its distinctive sail tent style sets it apart, creating an elegant, open-air atmosphere where the majesty of nature and the sophistication of the setting meet beneath historic, hand-hewn wooden beams and bronze chandeliers. The expansive wooden dance floor evokes the feel of a grand outdoor ballroom.
Comfortably accommodating 250 guests, the Grande Canopy Tuscan Tent is a dreamy space for your ceremony, intimate vow renewal, outdoor reception, or cocktail hour – and serves as a beautiful inclement-weather ceremony site when needed. You – and your guests – will be stunned by the beauty, versatility, and quiet elegance of this one-of-a-kind venue.
The Victorian Gazebo in the Orchard
Ornate and trendy, the Victorian Gazebo is one of our most popular and highly desired ceremony locations – an iconic setting nestled among more than 150 fruit trees and surrounded by seasonal blooms, landscaped greenery, and beautiful flowers. The perfect location for a garden wedding, this romantic setting offers endless photo opportunities among the trees, gardens, blooms, and picturesque gazebo, creating stunning images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Enjoy the beauty of the landscape by day, and as the sun sets, the magic and ambiance is only enhanced by the nighttime lighting and serene sounds of nature. Unique, romantic, and unmistakably beautiful, the Victorian Gazebo offers an unforgettable garden experience for your special day.
The Solarium in the Peaceful Pines
In a quiet grove of evergreens stands the Solarium in the Peaceful Pines – an iconic and romantic greenhouse featuring arched glass windows, ornate ironwork, and a domed roof. A favorite part of nearly every wedding, the Solarium offers a stunning setting for wedding and bridal portraits, first looks, pre-ceremony drinks, and rain-coverage photos, as well as intimate ceremonies, bridal lunches, and rehearsal dinners. As evening falls, illuminated trees create a magical glow that reflects off the glass, making the Solarium a truly unforgettable part of your wedding experience.

250 people
Yes! Our private estate is 280+ acres, with each venue having private exclusivity. We have intentionally planned our logistics to ensure each wedding is secluded and individually maintained.
To secure the venue, you must sign a contract and provide a 50% deposit of the venue rental. We can break the initial deposit down into 2 payments of 25% at signing, 25% two months later. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding.
We have two preferred caterers: Food for Thought Catering and C&J Catering, that we have selected carefully, knowing that you will have success and rave reviews over their service and execution. These are the only two caterers that can use our full commercial-grade kitchen. We want everyone to have a 5-star experience. If you choose to use a vendor that is not on our preferred list, they are welcome; however, they will be subject to a fee and have access to a prep kitchen only.
With it being an outdoor venue, we still have options! We can host your ceremony in our Grand Tuscan Canopy Tent, hold your cocktail hour first and then the ceremony, or rent a second tent to place over the White Gazebo in the Vineyard or the Black Victorian Gazebo in the Orchard. The good news is that the Solarium and White Grand Gazebo give you coverage from the weather, giving you outdoor space for photos even amongst the bad weather!
Onsite! We have seven different Airbnb’s available for you, your party or your guests! Staying onsite for one night or the weekend, creates a memorable experience that goes beyond the wedding day.
Your venue rental starts at 10:00am, however, if you require earlier access to the bridal suite, your request can be accommodated with an 8:00am check in. A minimal extra fee will be assessed.
We allow your dog/dogs to be present for photos, ceremony and cocktail hour, with a professional handler. From there, we ask that the dog is taken back to a safe place where they can feel at peace and relax. When the party gets going, the dogs are the first ones to feel anxious and run. We do not allow any animals inside our venues at anytime.
Your caterer is required to stay until the end of your event, cleaning up all trash, food and barware. Our team will take care of tables and chairs. If you have décor, it is your responsibility to remove all personal items after the end of your event. This is where our Day of Coordination services are really great!
Of course! We welcome you and your bridal party to use the space before and after your ceremony.
