Belvoir Terrace

The reception is going to be held in this fantastic, 19th century mansion called the Belvoir Terrace.

It was built by a robber baron named Morris K. Jesup (more on him, perhaps, in a later post), who made his money in railroads. He's also the guy who funded the Museum of Natural History in NYC.

Extending the Gotham link, the grounds on the property were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, of Central Park fame.
