Danada House is a pretty popular site for weddings. It's very beautiful and there are horses on site as well. You may want to get a horse and carriage to bring you to the site. They have a tent on site that you can use for the reception and the area for the ceremony is quite pretty. There is an interesting walkway of flowers that they have (when the flowers are blooming) for the ceremony.
