  [The North Lawn] Where we held our ceremony.
  

  [The Bridal Room]  There is a room provided for the guys, too.
  

  [The Dining Room] Bridal party + family access only.
  

  [The Grounds] Lots of lawn, huge + old trees, seasonally-changed flora, architectural gem of a house (but not everyone’s style), charming courtyard.
  [The Courtyard] Where we did our cocktail hour.  It’s lovely for smaller ceremonies and receptions as well.  We would have done our ceremony here if our guest list had been smaller.

  [The Backyard] Where we held our reception.  There’s a small fountain, tons of space, and a concrete “dance floor” so you don’t have to rent one.
