Will Chelsea Clinton Marry At Astor Courts?

Will Chelsea Clinton be getting married at one of our favorite estate of the day properties? People is reporting that the former first daughter's summer wedding to Marc Mezvinsky could take place at Astor Courts, the former estate of John Jacob Astor IV in Rhinebeck, New York. People's source is the local paper, the Hudson Valley News. There have also been rumors that the pair might marry on Martha's Vineyard, a favorite Clinton destination. Astor Courts is about an hour's drive from the Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York.

The estate is an ideal setting for a wedding. The beautiful Beaux-Arts style mansion was designed by architect Stanford White for John Jacob Astor IV. It was completed in 1904 and is on 50 acres. n 1964 Brooke Astor gave the home to the Catholic Church. Real-estate developer Arthur Seelbinder and his wife, Kathleen Hammer, a former producer for Oxygen Media, bought the home in 2005 for $3.2 million and spent a fortune restoring it. Stanford White's great-grandson, Sam White led the restoration. The home remains listed at $12 million.
