Grey Rock Mansion by Wedgewood Weddings

Dinner is over, the light is fading, and the lantern-lit paths around the Pavilion are starting to glow beyond its walls. Earlier, you stood under the white pergola at the end of a stone aisle edged in brick (or beside the marble fireplace in the Indoor Ceremony room, if the forecast said so). Then came cocktails in the Terrace Room, and now your whole party, up to 150 people, has settled in under string lights and chandeliers in the garden-side Pavilion. The white stucco mansion stands alongside, built in 1857 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has hosted garden tours, charity events, and Baltimore society gatherings, so it knows what to do with a crowd. From where you sit, you can look past your guests to the lawn and gardens and watch the paths light up one by one.
