Event Rentals

Wedding

Tudor Place Historic House and Garden offers a unique and intimate setting for your important events. All guests at Tudor Place events are encouraged to tour the Landmark house containing fine furniture, silver, porcelains, etc. and objects originally owned by George and Martha Washington. 

The gardens at Tudor Place retain the original expanse of green lawns and plantings developed by the Peter family including a 200 year old ellipse with boxwood from George and Martha Washington's home at Mount Vernon. A distinctly Southern landscape, a canopy of white pines, American holly and Magnolias surround garden visitors.  Seasonable displays of color, such as heirloom roses, Kousa dogwoods, crape myrtles, lilies, hosta and hydrangeas add to the garden's exquisite beauty.
