The Somerley at Fox Hollow
Woodbury, New York
In the grand era of the Roaring ‘20s, more than 1,200 mansions were built by some of American’s wealthiest men and women on Long Island’s North Shore - earning this region it’s nickname as the Gold Coast. Established in 2011, The Somerley at Fox Hollow uses this opulent history as inspiration for it’s luxurious design. Housed on Fox Hollow’s eight acre estate, The Somerley’s classic architecture and elegant décor bring this time of the past back to life.
After an extensive search and visiting over eighteen venues, Athena and Michael found the one at Fox Hollow. The romantic aesthetic, manicured form, and dynamic functionality gave them everything they wanted in order to share this special celebration with family and friends.
