Nope, just did some research. That's Aldie Mansion in PA.

Can the moderator please move this to the Westchester board. I put it here by accident. TKS.
Through a twist of weird coincidences Alder Manor came to the forefront of my brain again yesterday.
This venue was THE top contender for us for about 2-3 months. Wedding planning was put on hold to wait and hear back from the caterer. Literally, plans put on hold. At the end the caterer was -to us- unresponsive and irresponsible. It took almost 2 months to get a call back. Then we waited another 2 weeks and still no call. So we had to give up on them.
BTW, still to this day the caterer has NEVER called us back.
But for those interested I have some information and feel free to ask me.
It is genuinely a very beautiful, unique venue.
But I do have to warn you that you have to realize the mansion is in state of despair, since we last saw it in Fall 2009 it most closely resembles a Roman Ruin (which for us was part of the charm).
I considered Alder Manor and went to visit it with my fiance. It was truly beautiful- in a Great Expectations/Great Gatsby kind of way! We had a winter wedding and they offered to light all the fireplaces in the mansion. There were many smaller-like rooms (cigar/library lounge) and beautiful outside gardens. It is expensive and the larger rooms did not hold more than 125 or 150 I believe? But the governor and mayor Bloomberg have had events there and I think it would have been my top choice for a smaller wedding!
I'm getting married at Alder Manor in August 2011. The rates start at $120 a head with a wine and beer bar and go up from there. We are inviting 220 guests, hoping for around 175. The ballroom and yellow room can each seat around 120 and the library can seat another 80ish. That all depends what shape tables and if you do table service or buffet. The Foyer is usually used for dancing but could also be used for tables. The patio is where cocktail hour is usually held. The ceremony can take place outside in the garden or in the yellow room and either can supposedly accomodate over 200 people.
@traceyshababo:Is there a location fee on top of the 120pp? Thanks!
@traceyshababo: Wow. My fiance and I just stumbled across this place last night on line, and I am completely blown away. I would love to hear how your wedding went, Tracey? Any tips/advice? Was it hard to coordinate travel plans for relatives? I live in Brooklyn, and most of my friends/family are in NYC. Would love to hear how your experience was!
