I. Love. This. Venue! Another wedding to officiate and I was ready. What I thoroughly love is the walk up after you park. What your eyes begin to notice are the various sectors of the property (outdoor ceremony area, reception, dance floor, house, garden, forest), but then you realize how everything is interwoven by the same stone path. Unlike Rome, all paths here lead to love.
One of the gifts of the natural elements is how the DJ is typically positioned behind a large bush, still able to view the event in action but out of sight. The house is something out of Alice in Wonderland. There is an entire section of windows filled with stacks of books, and statues within the stacks of books. Maybe it's more of a Beauty and the Beast feel. But I digress. The art, the perfect lighting, the soft music all wish you could call this home. But it is there solely to house the food. You pick up a plate and head back out. The reception area is open air, with a bar tucked away in the back. Cocktails, bourbon neat, white wine, and a cold beer all await.
In the few times I have been there, I like to sit out on the patio area. They have high tables and stools and you can see the surrounding forest. Plus the sound level of conversations is greatly diminished. I hope to return soon for another wedding, or really any event. I want to explore more, but have not due to always being in dress shoes. Maybe next time. Maybe. read more
