Parkwood Estate
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.
All wedding services are coordinated by Certified Wedding Planner, Suzanne Peat of Kenneth Robert Entertainment. With years planning weddings Suzanne will ensure that every detail of your special day is taken care of your way, stress free with confidence and peace of mind.
