Marked by its luxurious details of leaded-glass windows, rich walnut paneling, Tiffany chandeliers, elegant ballrooms and the magnificent grand staircase, the palatial mansion is filled with an air of romance and legendary splendor. Five picturesque architectural and garden settings furnish the perfect backdrops for either indoor or outdoor ceremonies and occasions.
