Facilities and Capacity

Redfield Estate offers both indoor and outdoor facilities featuring a 1929 Craftsman style home, an outdoor Pavilion and a Gazebo on our expansive grounds. Plan your ceremony under the cover of the beautiful stone Pavilion, complete with dramatic outdoor fireplace and urns filled with seasonal plants and flowers, on the lawn near our majestic 125 year old oak tree, or, under the woodland Gazebo just a short walk from the house, across our rustic bridge. Should the weather be uncooperative or if you are planning a winter wedding, you may also say your vows inside the Great Room in the house.

Enjoy the views outside through the breathtaking leaded glass windows throughout the house where you may catch a glimpse of deer. The loft area overlooking the Great Room is ideal for for musicians or DJ's to perform. Three elegant dressing rooms are available for the wedding party's preparations. Enjoy cocktails on the patio after your ceremony before moving to your reception for dinner and dancing.
