As a wedding photographer there are certain places I really look forward to photographing. And the Hermitage is one of those places. The staff is always amazing. But it's just beautiful. Inside and out.

Very interesting older house in the Tudor half timbered style with a number of interesting Asian antiques. There is also an interesting garden and walks along the river and the forested grounds.

I was here for a wedding and the venue was gorgeous! I highly recommend it for this purpose. I enjoyed the outdoor areas, views, and wide variety of plants. I hope to return as a regular visitor someday.
