The timelessly elegant setting is ideal for hosting weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and intimate gatherings.

For those envisioning an open-air ceremony or alfresco cocktail hour, the courtyard and garden are available. Alternatively, the terrace, ballroom, and lounge are ideal sites for indoor wedding receptions. Each room has been designed using different themes to ensure variety and versatility.

The mansion has a get-ready suite, equipped with full-length mirrors and couches, which is available on request.

Excellent!

Rollins Mansion was THE BEST place for our wedding. It’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. We had so many compliments on how unique it is and everybody thought their food was amazing as well! If I could have my wedding there again I absolutely would!
