Rose Garden
Occupying a spacious area, our Rose Garden is our largest and most romantic garden, boasting exotic,
luscious blooms and fragrances from more than 1,000 roses. A beautifully ornate pergola frames this garden and is often the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony – the perfect place to exchange your vows.
East Lawn
With its long, tiered garden aisle, the East Lawn boasts a uniquely regal and stately setting, while perfectly manicured botanicals reveal true elegance and sophistication. From the famous McCormick Mansion, follow the broad, grassy stairs – a distinctive wedding processional aisle – down to the lovely reflecting pond below. This pond provides a stunning backdrop for your wedding ceremony.
Rock Garden
Enveloped by large, shady trees, our serene Rock Garden is surrounded by various boulders, emulating a calm, Zen-like feel. Rich colors and lush textures create a vibrant landscape that is incredibly breathtaking. The nearby fountain cycles through a rhythmic pattern of dancing jets and cascading sprays. You and your guests will undoubtedly be captivated by the mystique this garden has to offer.
South Grove
Our most tranquil garden, the South Grove includes all the elements of a private oasis. Nestled within a canopy of trees, this garden feels tucked away in its own special outdoor room. The South Grove is the ultimate in privacy and serenity, where you and your guests can simply relax and enjoy the serene beauty that enhances your wedding ceremony.
