Breathtaking Spaces
THE CARRIAGE HOUSE
Imagine exchanging vows against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the breeze carrying soft whispers of excitement. The Carriage House offers a stunning outdoor ceremony space, where nature sets the stage for your “I do.” If you choose to have your ceremony on-site, elegant white padded wooden folding chairs will be set up for your guests. Following the ceremony, guests can transition to the expansive three-season patio for cocktail hour (which is exposed on three sides but can be fully enclosed). This inviting space features high-top tables, comfortable seating, fire tables with Adirondack chairs, cornhole and an outdoor portable bar. With a stunning view of the 18th green, a cozy fire pit surrounded by tables and Adirondack chairs provides an ideal spot for guests to relax during cocktail hour or indulge in s'mores late into the night.
Stepping inside, the main event space is warm and inviting, with exposed beams and expansive windows that flood the room with natural light. The entryway welcomes guests with a white credenza, the perfect place for a guestbook, card box, gifts, or a welcome sign. The flexible interior accommodates up to 240 guests, ensuring there is plenty of room for dining and dancing the night away. The built-in bar, a highlight of the space, provides seamless service and enhances the guest experience.
Couples will love the fully furnished bridal prep suite, a luxurious retreat where they can relax and prepare for the big day. The suite includes a private bathroom and an adjacent patio with a stunning flower wall - perfect for first-look photos and bridal party pictures. From the moment you arrive until the last dance, The Carriage House is designed to make every moment of your wedding unforgettable.
THE 1896 ROOM
Just steps away, the 1896 Room offers a timeless setting for elegant receptions. The grand entrance to the 1896 Room welcomes guests with a spacious foyer featuring a striking barnwood table - perfect for displaying a guestbook, gifts, or welcome signage. Two cozy nooks on either side of the ballroom entrance provide the perfect spots for pictures or décor, and a large leather sofa adds a touch of refined comfort.
The beautifully renovated ballroom features modern gray walls, rich wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the rolling fairways of the golf course. With space to accommodate up to 190 guests, the 1896 Room is a sophisticated and charming choice for a wedding celebration. Like The Carriage House, it also features a built-in bar for seamless beverage service. A private adjacent room offers the ideal space for a buffet, dessert table, or photo booth, ensuring a seamless flow for your event.
For couples hosting their ceremony on-site, the designated ceremony space overlooks the golf course, offering breathtaking views for your vows. Seating up to 190 guests, the space includes elegant white padded wooden folding chairs and your choice of a decorative arch to frame the moment. The outdoor patio, just off the ballroom, is furnished year-round. While not covered, this space is a wonderful option for cocktail hour when the weather cooperates.
The private bridal getting-ready suite in the 1896 Room is a serene retreat, perfect for hair and makeup, getting ready photos, or an intimate first look before walking down the aisle.

Perfect for unwinding before the ceremony, Henry’s Hideout is a one-of-a-kind addition to your wedding day experience.
