Perfect for larger weddings, this landscaped vista offers shade in the summer thanks to the trees and ample seating for your guests. 

Nestled between Lake Sedgwick and the Connections Garden, the lawn is a popular area for visitors, meaning the area is not exclusive, though we will put out signs informing the public of your function. 

Hot tip: Those opting for summer weddings should consider offering refreshments during the ceremony as the area can be particularly hot during the warmer months.
