Chelsea Clinton may have gotten teased in the national news when she was a teenager and her father was in the White House, but she’s clearly grown up into a woman of means and taste. She and her fiancé, Marc Mazvinsky, a private banker from Manhattan, are throwing their July 31st wedding at Astor Courts.
Astor Courts is a 26,000 square foot mansion, built in the style of the Grand Trianon at Versailles, nestled in the middle of a lush country estate. It has five bedrooms, seven fireplaces, indoor clay tennis courts and an indoor Mediterranean style pool. Famed photographer, Annie Leibovitz, lives in the grand dairy barn on the estate. The main house is for sale (David Bowie and his wife, Iman, toured it recently) but the $12 million mansion is off the market until after the wedding is over.
The Beaux Arts mansions, which was constructed by a Gilded Age tycoon, John Jacob Astor IV, and it reflects the ornate exuberance of that thriving post Civil War era. It sits at the high point of 3,500 acres of open space and dense forest space. It’s beautiful, and private enough to keep the Secret Service, who are already planning out security for the high profile affair, satisfied.
