Description:

Behind the high stone walls that seclude Cairnwood from the rest of the world is a spectacular setting available for your special day! Created as an elegant sanctuary and private estate for 19th century industrialist John Pitcairn, Cairnwood is an architectural masterpiece from the Gilded Age complete with lush gardens and extensive grounds. For over a century, Cairnwood has been hosting wedding receptions within its halls. This fairy tale tradition began with John and Gertrude Pitcairn opening their home for a marriage celebration in 1896. Reminiscent of a French chateau, Cairnwood’s distinguished architecture, flowering gardens, and expansive lawns provide a distinctive and romantic backdrop for a truly exceptional event. Couples welcome their guests into their own spacious mansion. The graciousness of the estate provides a setting that departs from the ordinary with endless indoor and outdoor possibilities. Cairnwood is available for sit-down dinner for 200 guests or an opulent stations-style reception for up to 275. The rooms, terraces, grand staircase, balconies, and gardens inspire couples to create a unique and memorable celebration.
