As far as a LOTR party at my house, my wife would need to be convinced that she would not have to end up bearing the cleaning and cooking burden. Since this would fly in the face of years of past experience, this would be a hard sell. A party for people we both know or she has met is doable. A party for unknown weirdos, or worse yet, known weirdos, is a much harder sell.
We might be having a LOTR party sometime, but it will be mostly limited to people who have already been here.
I liked Longwood as a party venue because the gardens are a great destination in winter. If the temperature is above freezing they also have the fountain show which is great in the wintertime. The purely selfish reason I want to go is that with a group of 20 or more I can get into a buffet without standing in a huge line. Also, day or night, it's one of the nicest places in the area. Since I have a frequent visitors pass, I go there a lot. It could take 1-2 hours just to tour the conservatory and house, and seeing the amazing colors indoors is a nice cure for winter blahs.
Also, with a large group, we could pretty much take over a large area of their dining room.
