Pavilion & Fountain Circle
The Park’s social center is the Pavilion, a graceful bandstand where ceremonies take place. While the bride and groom exchange vows on stage, their guests, seated on the lawn, can appreciate the lovely landscaping and vintage architecture that surrounds them. Outdoor receptions are held in the adjacent Fountain Circle, a circular plaza with a large two-tiered Parisian fountain topped by the moon goddess Diana at its center. There’s plenty of room for a band, buffet, beverage service, dance floor and much more.

Nile Hall & Ginn House Parlor Rooms
If you are planning an indoor reception/event, two houses just off the Fountain Circle are available. The Ginn House, circa 1890, features two delightfully light and airy parlors reminiscent of an English country home. Both rooms are gracefully decorated with Victorian period art, drapes, and historic light fixtures. A grand staircase cascades into the foyer and each room is detailed with original wood paneling. Nile Hall, circa 1911, is a craftsman-style building with a sensational space for a grand and elegant party. It has a 30-foot-high ceiling, rich velvet ceiling-to-floor drapes, skylights, multiple windows, a stage, and a theatrical lighting and sound system. This room is well designed with soft colors, nice detailing and attractive appointments – and enough space to accommodate an extensive guest list. You can reserve one or both houses, as they’re connected by a spacious interior hallway.
