Parkwood is not booking receptions. Steeped with over a century of history and natural beauty, there is no better place to renew your vows or say “I Do” and begin the next chapter of forever, than Parkwood National Historic Site. Surrounded by lush gardens and architectural landscaping there are several picturesque spaces on the grounds and inside the mansion for you to choose from. You may choose to exchange your vows in the beautiful Sunken Garden or in the stunning Formal Garden in front of the fountains. The Italian Gardens located outside of the Greenhouses or the Japanese Garden in the newly restored Greenhouse is perfect for more intimate gatherings. You may also choose to immerse yourself in stunning history as you exchange vows inside the mansion in our Sunroom & Loggia.

    Beautiful place to get married

    Parkwood has always been a place I loved so when we decided to get married we contacted them immediately. Suzanne is the wedding coordinator for Parkwood and she seriously knows what she is doing. She makes sure everything runs smoothly. We didn't find out until rehearsal day that my now husband's brother and his wife used Suzanne as well. Suzanne remembered them immediately which made things even easier for us. She is a fantastic coordinator and would highly recommend her and her husband ken who does the music.
    Parkwood was very patient with us when I insisted on a group photo by the fountain they agreed and did not rush us. We have beautiful pictures in the gardens and I couldn't be happier. We had an issue with a picture we brought and everyone around was there immediately to help us set the picture up without hesitation. Thank you Suzanne, Ken and thee staff at Parkwood.

    Parkwood Estate's reply:

    It was our sincere pleasure Courtney & Jordan! We enjoyed being a part of your day and wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

    Great but pricey

    We chose to book here because of the movies that were filmed here, Billy Madison and X-Men to name a few. Our contact person was Suzanne. She was great in helping us organize the chairs and a/v equipment. One area that could have improved was the response time between emails. The environment for pictures is amazing! There is no smoking on the property. We were also not allowed alcohol as it was only our ceremony happening and we did not purchase a liquor license. All in all our wedding was beautiful here and Suzanne was a great help!

    Stunning!!

    The grounds were so beautiful and made for a stunning day!! Our guests were blown away with the sunken gardens, and the beautiful Foutains and rose garden on site. Without the help of ken and Suzanne our day wouldn’t have been so beautiful. Thank you so much Suzanne and Ken for everything!!
