About the Venue
Built in 1909, this Edgewater mansion sits on roughly a third of an acre and offers more than 6,000 square feet of historic interior space. The residential scale and period architecture create a warm setting for weddings, corporate events, dinners, and milestone celebrations. With the building centered on private events, the space can support a complete program in one place, from guest arrival and mingling to the main gathering and closing reception. Garden space adds greenery and a softer outdoor element, giving photos and guest conversation a setting that feels separate from the main interior. Natural light adds another layer to the room during daytime events, helping the space feel open and giving photographs a brighter, more dimensional backdrop. The room's existing finish and furnishings also give planners a useful starting point, allowing the event to build on the venue rather than disguise it.
Events can host about 100 guests. Multiple rooms and surrounding grounds give smaller gatherings a sense of privacy while still providing enough space for dining, conversation, ceremonies, and receptions within a distinctive historic home. The result is a venue that can feel substantial for a large celebration while still supporting the practical pieces that make a private event run smoothly. The space feels naturally suited to corporate gatherings, weddings, and private celebrations, especially when the event benefits from a setting that already has its own atmosphere. This kind of built-in character is particularly valuable for photographs and guest experience, because the setting remains recognizable throughout the event.
