Wedding Location Spotlight: The Desmond Tutu Center in New York City

A while ago I attended a press event at The Desmond Tutu Center, and the one thing we all noticed was how great this place would be for a wedding. The historic 19th century Gothic architecture and beautifully landscaped grounds provide the perfect backdrop for wedding pictures:

In addition to the beautiful setting, they provide catering and give you the option of having an indoor or outdoor affair. When we walked into the Refectory for lunch I was blown away by the size and deocrative details of the room. The stained glass, the woodwork and the giant fireplace definitely transported me to a different time. It actually kind of reminded me of the Hogwarts dining hall in the Harry Potter movies. Here are a few photos of this impressive space:

The center also has 60 beautifully restored historic guests rooms available that feature South African decor and updated features and amenities. For more information and photos, visit ahl-tutucenter.com.
