-A Heritage Estate Meets Nature’s Elegance
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by acres of lush, undulating landscapes and towering trees, in one of our five breathtaking outdoor ceremony locations: The Lawn of Aerie House, The Wooded Chapel, The Valley, The Grove, and The Meadows. Each site offers a unique view, providing the perfect backdrop for your ceremony, while our various indoor options ensure that your celebration is as beautiful inside as it is outside.
-Designed for Your Comfort and Celebration
Before the ceremony begins, you and your wedding party can prepare in our two thoughtfully designed onsite houses—one for each side of the party. Both homes are designed with comfort and style in mind, featuring sun-drenched dressing suites, fully furnished bedrooms, and panoramic porches to relax and soak in the surroundings. Whether it’s complimentary champagne, beer, coffee, or soft drinks to start your day, we welcome you with warmth and care to ensure your experience is second to none.
-Celebrating Love in Beauty, Crafted with Local Artisans
Every detail at The Meadows has been crafted with the help of local artisans, bringing together thoughtful design and the spirit of community to make your wedding day unforgettable. After your ceremony, guests will be invited to the Cantina—a stylish indoor/outdoor bar for celebratory cocktails. Under the spacious covered patio, enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres, lounge seating, and fun outdoor games, creating a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
-Elegance Meets Nature at the Reception
As the reception begins, rolling glass doors open to reveal Heron Hall—an elegant and intimate dining space where guests can enjoy dinner amidst the charm of century-old stained glass doors reclaimed from a country chapel. The cake cutting or dessert moment will be nothing short of magical in front of these timeless windows. Afterward, the celebration continues with dancing in our greenhouse-inspired covered courtyard, where the fun flows seamlessly from one space to the next.
