About this venue
Nestled on the storied banks of the St. Lawrence River, Casa Blanca is a grand Gilded Age cottage unlike any other — a place where timeless elegance meets natural beauty in perfect harmony. Once the summer residence of Louis Marx, a theatrical American planter with a penchant for grandeur, the estate remains a living tribute to its illustrious past. From the iconic wraparound porch with sweeping river views to the soft hum of riverboats drifting past Millionaire’s Row, every moment at Casa Blanca feels suspended in a more romantic era. Whether you're envisioning an intimate wedding celebration or a sweeping summer soirée, this island sanctuary offers not only a breathtaking setting but a soul one built from generations of memory, music, and golden-hour light.
Our event spaces
The Summer Cottage
At Casa Blanca, you're not just hosting a wedding you're stepping into a bygone era of grace and grandeur.
Imagine exchanging vows under the open sky, with the whisper of the wind in the trees and the slow glide of yachts in the background — your ceremony unfolding on the expansive front lawn, where Louis Marx once displayed his World’s Fair electric fountain. Guests are seated with views of the river stretching wide and endless, as sunset light dances on the water and golden hues warm the historic stone gazebo nearby. The ceremony site is not just scenic, it’s transportive — surrounded by century-old trees, lovingly tended gardens, and the gentle presence of Casa Blanca’s enduring charm. It is here, where the river bends just right and time seems to pause, that lifelong memories are made.

Up to 250 Standing

“Fun and Festive”
Included in this room:
The ceremony space at Casa Blanca includes use of the sprawling waterfront lawn, offering ample room for up to 250 guests with the flexibility to tailor your vision — from elegant seated ceremonies to more relaxed, garden-style arrangements. You'll have access to vintage outdoor furnishings, including antique wicker seating and lawn games like croquet to charm your guests during cocktail hour. The wraparound porch provides covered space for pre-ceremony gatherings or romantic photos, all overlooking the river. Additional amenities include on-site accommodations for up to 28 guests across 13 historically appointed bedrooms, use of the reception hall with its original tin ceilings and player pianos, and optional access to the boathouse and private boats for unforgettable river cruises. Every detail — from polished silver to the warm presence of the current owners — ensures a wedding experience that is as gracious as it is unforgettable.
