Graeme Park

lpful throughout the whole planning process. She was always available to meet up when we had so many questions and was eager to help to make our day perfect. We loved having the ceremony facing the Keith House, cocktail hour in the barn and the reception in the tent. So many guests came up to us saying how they loved how each event flowed into the next and it was so seamless. We had over 200+ people and everyone had space to dance and it never felt cramped. It was great! Beth and her staff were truly amazing and we are so grateful to them for making our day so special! We 100% recommend Graeme Park!

I was excited to have the ceremony behind the Keith House, but I made sure we got some Bridal Portraits in the area instead. Beth was super helpful, kind, and informative the entire process! She was easy to get in contact with and willing to answer any questions I had about the wedding day and overall process. My husband and I were looking for something affordable and Graeme Park is on the cheaper side compared to other venues. The tent is huge and was exactly what I wanted for the reception. We only had about 75 people, so there was more than enough space. We were able to fit our yard games off to the side since we couldn’t use the grass area. Due to all of the upgrades not included in the package (farmhouse tables, wooden chairs, linens, etc) we ended up spending a little more than I would have wanted to. However, it was worth it to me to pay the difference because the farmhouse look was what I was going for. This venue is definitely a lot of DIY, so I would recommend having people help you the day of the wedding. Jodi from Bucksmont was easy to communicate with over phone and email with any questions I had and everyone I contacted was nice and helpful! They were very accommodating when we needed heaters last minute due to the rainy weather. Bucksmont started removing things from the tent from the previous wedding around 9am so we couldn’t start decorating until after they were done. You were able to rent linens and materials from Bucksmont and we had to set everything up ourselves with the decor. We ended up going with an outside caterer (Imperial’s catering), and we were able to meet with Beth and the caterer at the venue to get all of the details squared away. One of the reasons I chose Graeme Park was because they didn’t force you to use an in-house caterer or pay a crazy amount of money for food. The venue does not have a getting ready space, so we had to book 2 hotel rooms for the guys and the girls the morning of. There are a lot of hotels in the area so finding a space to get ready wasn’t an issue. We had our MOH stay in the other room the night before since we had to pay for 2 nights to be able to use the room during the time we needed on the wedding day. Overall, I would recommend Graeme Park for your wedding day if you’re going for more of the DIY route. The space is definitely beautiful and you have a lot of flexibility in what you want to do and how you want things to go.

We had separate settings for each event: the ceremony, that was held outside of the Keith House, cocktail hour, that took place in the patio area, and reception, that was under the spacious, beautifully lit, and gently heated, white tent. Each with it’s own natural and beautiful ambiance. Beth MacCausland, the director of the facility, provided all of the support, advice, and accessibility needed from the moment we fell in love with Graeme Park, right through to the wedding day itself. “Best Day of my Life”, said the bride. What else can I say?
