September wedding - Michelle and Joe

The Paca house was amazing for our September wedding!
Ginny was super helpful every step of the way and made sure our day was perfect. We were planning our wedding from out of state, and Ginny was really responsive in answering any and all of our questions, and recommending things in the local area.
The gardens are beautiful and our guests had a wonderful time. We highly recommend the Paca house for any wedding for those looking to get married in the Maryland area.

The William Paca House & Garden Team are Exceptional

Jody and her team are EXCELLENT. If you are looking for a worry-free day in an unparalleled venue, The William Paca House and Garden and Jody Dalton are your place and team. Jody took care of every detail on the day and provided guidance, a listening ear, and pep talks whenever needed. She cares about her couples and ensures they get a few minutes to breathe after the ceremony, which is very special and made us feel calm, happy and able to soak in that we were now husband and wife. Could not be more delighted with how Jody and her team took care of us. The Garden is absolutely stunning as well- a win-win all around.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
