The boutique venue also features the Bonnie Lou Wood Visitor Center, an indoor/outdoor facility with a walk out patio through picturesque French doors, perfect for cocktail hour. With the historically preserved home, the idyllic grounds, and the indoor/outdoor visitor center, this exclusive property is a premier location for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, engagement party, or special celebration.
