It is one of four mansions on the grounds of the Guggenheim Estate, which also includes Castle Gould, Falaise and Mille Fleur. The Tudor-style castle served as a summer residence for the family where they hosted grand parties, performances and exhibitions by world-class artists, and gatherings of the powerful elite of the time.

They were so hands on the day of – Moe even made me a plate of food at cocktail hour and made sure that I ate! Thanks to them, we had our dream wedding.

In looking around, we felt most at home at the Hempstead House and were excited for Moe and his team to make our wedding dreams come true.
