The grounds encompass formal gardens, a picturesque aqua garden, rolling terrain, a pond, and a collection of historic structures including the Manor House, Carriage House, Cottage House, and a large barn. The signature outdoor reception tent — a 60x100 white peaked structure on a brick pad — accommodates up to 250 guests and includes gold chandeliers, perimeter lighting, an 18x24 dance floor, and gold chiavari chairs. The first floor of the Manor House offers an indoor option for up to 120 guests. Belmont welcomes weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, family reunions, corporate retreats, and other private events from mid-April through October, with select indoor events available year-round.
