Welcome to the CV Rich Mansion

Why the CV Rich Mansion?
There is nothing quite like hosting an event at the CV Rich Mansion! You will feel like you are in your own home enjoying drinks and scrumptious hors d’ouevres while circulating through the living room, dining room and library greeting your guests before being invited into the beautiful ballroom for dinner and dancing. The mansion is also perfect for corporate or business gatherings.
The Mansion & Gardens
The CV Rich Mansion, which is listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places, is situated on 3.5 acres of lush lawn and attractive, terraced gardens with parking for approximately 125 cars. An Italianate villa built in 1911, the mansion retains all its original charm but has been updated to accommodate what today’s consumers are looking for in an event venue. The main floor features original-to-the-house marble fireplaces in the spacious and appealing living room, dining room and library. A palette of creams and greys are used throughout the living room providing a neutral and timeless backdrop for photos. French doors lead to the covered patio and gardens, a perfect setting for a warm weather cocktail hour, outdoor dinner, or wedding ceremony. Outdoor furniture (chairs and tables) is available for wedding services and relaxing.
In the wood-paneled, club style library, there are leatherette winged back chairs, oriental carpet, and other furniture in warm colors. A leather bench surrounding the decorative fireplace completes the seating area. The library also overlooks the gardens and holds the Woman’s Club collection of memorabilia including pictures of the previous owners of the house, Charles and Ethel Rich.
On the right side of the house, the airy, bright glass-enclosed sunroom provides views of the beautiful gardens that boast seasonal blooming flowers, bushes, trees, and grasses. On the left, the Tea Room with its marble fireplace and marble fountain is both charming and cozy, perfect for more intimate gatherings.
Planning a wedding? The upper floor includes beautifully appointed rooms for the bride and groom, both with adjoining restrooms. An additional restroom is located on the second floor as well.
The Ballroom
Adjacent to the house is the large ballroom which can accommodate up to 220 people. The space, which has a stage, can be configured to accommodate most needs from weddings to fashion shows to corporate meetings. Soundproofing has been installed for your guests’ comfort and Wi-Fi is available in the ballroom and the main house. Also decorated in neutral colors, the ballroom will work with any floral or special lighting design. There is a large lobby with separate entrance in which you can greet or check-in guests. Restrooms are located on the first floor of the ballroom and the main house along with lounges for both men and women on the lower level.
Non-Catered Events
The unique layout of the house and ballroom also make the mansion the perfect location for corporate or social groups. Partial house rentals which include either the Sun Room or the Tea Room are available for small gatherings or meetings. For larger events, the entire house or the ballroom can be rented, or you can choose to engage the house and ballroom together. The mansion has hosted fundraisers, meetings for social or religious groups, photo shoots, TV and movie filming and corporate training. Click here for room dimensions and house layout.
The CV Rich Mansion is the perfect location for events both large and small from corporate seminars to fundraisers to family occasions such as weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs. We invite you to contact our Events Manager to schedule a tour of the house and learn more about our offerings. We don’t just cater events, we make memories!
