About the Venue

The Ashford Estate wedding venue is a thirty-acre estate surrounded by hundreds of acres of preserved, lush farmland. Chris Vernon, founder of Weddings of Distinction, dreams of sharing his love for the area’s beauty with others. Since its opening in 2010, this wedding venue has set itself apart from other locations by combining luxury of the present time with the elegance of the past. Pulling ideas from the area of the Great Gatsby, the historic and modern amenities are unlike anything else in the area.

Details of the Grounds

This estate is home to both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. The indoor ceremony space, the Barn Chapel, features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, white interior, tilt window lighting, and stone and brick walkways/fountain/benches. The outdoor ceremony space is located just outside the barn and overlooks the stunning lake on the property.

The reception spaces are just as stunning. The ballroom holds up to 275 people and features gold Chiavari chairs with ivory cushions, tables that seat up to 12 guests, wooden arches that are carved, a wall in the back that is made of glass, and crystal chandeliers. The Grand Conservatory features glass windows overlooking the property, an outdoor veranda with cocktail tables and chairs, beautiful greenery and flowers, and a stone fireplace. Additionally, the estate is handicap accessible and offers lavish private suites for those who want to stay overnight.

Any of the other smaller spaces in the estate can be utilized for events like cocktail hour or after parties in the library. In addition, the estate has a bridal suite and groom’s room. The bridal parlor features natural light, a bay window, white ornate walls and ceiling, a chaise lounge, a four-poster bed, and hair and makeup chairs/mirrors. The groom’s lounge is located in the library and features leather chairs, stone flooring, and oriental carpets.
