Eden - The Lemelson Estate was the perfect venue for lodging and photography for our daughter's wedding. From the moment we reached out, the communication was effective, timely, and accurate. The venue itself was spacious and beautiful, with a stunning grand staircase, opulent rooms and gorgeous grounds providing the ideal backdrop for wedding photos. The estate was incredibly convenient for the wedding party, and the close proximity to nearby amenities made the entire stay seamless. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience. Although their wedding ceremony was held elsewhere, we highly recommend the Lemelson Estate with its spacious interior and extensive well-tended grounds for a wedding ceremony as well as lodging and wedding photography.
