felt Mansion
It all started with a love story. Affectionately known as “Agnes’ House”, Dorr Felt had the mansion built as a gift for his wife, paying attention to every detail to create a magnificent home that continues to impress people today. Felt Mansion’s grand architecture and rolling sprawling grounds give the mansion an unmistakeable old-world charm, and provides an elegant setting for a wedding day you will never forget.

Mansion rental
Felt Mansion can accommodate 120 guests indoors and up to 250 outdoors in the West Lawn Tent. The mansion has 25 rooms for your guests to explore: the library, dining room and parlor on the first floor, wedding party suites and guest rooms on the second floor, and the third floor ballroom. As a historic home, only the first floor is wheelchair accessible. Mansion rental includes tables, chairs, and equipment listed on the Rates & Availability page.
Ceremonies
The Felt Estate features unique ceremony locations for you and your partner to exchange vows. In addition to the Chapel at Shore Acres, you can say “I Do” at the idyllic water garden or at the grand entry of the mansion. Surrounded by deep blue water, the garden is a non-traditional and gorgeous setting for a ceremony. A ceremony at the grand entry provides an intimate setting with the stately mansion as your backdrop. Whichever you choose, your ceremony will be uniquely and wonderfully personal.
Accomodations
The mansion can accommodate up to 12 guests in six bedrooms, including two suites with en suite bathrooms, a Jack-and-Jill suite perfect for families, and two standard rooms. During their stay, guests are welcome to make a midnight snack in the fully equipped kitchen, curl up with a book and their morning cup of coffee in the library, or gather around the dining room table for a family breakfast before heading home.
