Baby showers, tea parties, birthdays and celebrations of life — held in a private garden, with the care of a family who has hosted them all.
Life's Milestones
The pond has hosted far more than weddings. Baby showers under the willow, tea parties beside the greenhouse, birthdays around the fire pit — and celebrations of life, held with the gentleness those days ask for. The same private, unhurried property that makes our weddings feel personal makes every gathering feel cared for: one event at a time, thirty guests or fewer, with Phil and Donna looking after the details.
While our Intimate Garden Wedding package begins at $1,400, our Small Event and Gatherings begin at $300. Chelsea’s Sweet Shoppe can be styled to suit anything from a shower brunch to a memorial reception. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll shape the day around it.
Showers, teas & birthdays are all at home on the pond.
The Grounds
Every structure here was a family project with a story behind it. Stroll the rock paths and you’ll find a different backdrop around every bend.
Built of rough‑cut lumber with elements that look centuries old — Phil’s birthday gift to Donna, and the most photographed doorway in the garden.
Planted by our daughter at age four, now forty feet tall and forty feet wide — shading hidden ceremony spots and home to our resident owl.
A classic vehicle for photo ops comes with every wedding rental — alongside wine barrels, a brass gown hanger and our vintage library sweetheart table.
From a shower brunch to a memorial reception — the pond is yours for the day.
