Describe your accommodations?

When you approach the Historic Longview Mansion, you pass our magnificent sunken fountain gardens. As you make your way up the lamp lit drive you’ll be surrounded by the private, lush, manicured grounds. The perfect blend of old and new, the Longview Mansion is a grand home of yesteryear from the moment you enter the Grand Foyer graced by two staircases and black marble fireplace to the private dining room featuring a carved, limestone fireplace and separate, paneled Library with a fireplace. Both adorned with large, enclosed sun porches. There is ample from for guests, musicians, parking and even loved, family pets (horses and dogs are frequent wedding party members).

The beautifully appointed Bridal Suite features a private bath, separate make up room, and a beautiful sunlit porch. Located in the west wing, bridal parties enjoy vista views of the fountain gardens. The gentlemen may retire in the grand Groom’s retreat in the east wing. These salons are designed so each of you can relax and prepare privately with your family and attendants for your big event.

A State-of-the-Art, all weather Pavilion adjoins our south sun porch. This is the perfect spot for large group entertaining. Complete with giant chandeliers, spot-lighting, carpeting and a wooden dance floor, it is an exquisite venue in which to host a large reception.
