Emma M. Sent on 09/25/2022Amazing Director
While my fiancé and I ultimately did not book Paca House for our wedding (our guest list grew past the original estimate), we cannot recommend Ginny Hockey, the Weddings and Special Events Director, enough. Ginny was very responsive when we reached out to schedule a tour. During the tour, she described a perfect schedule (including the best spots for different types of photographs) and had tons of ideas for how to implement the features we envisioned. Also, her preferred vendors list is incredible--she has vendors to meet all sorts of visions and budgets, and was able to suggest which would be the best fit for us, based on our descriptions of what we wanted. -

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. -

Ginny Hockey and her staff is beyond amazing!! Venue was exceptional and every member was attentive and provided such a pleasant experience for us along with our guests! We used Ginny’s recommendations for other vendors and were not disappointed. The whole experience was definitely something to remember and couldn’t have been more perfect! -

Upon our first meeting with coordinator Ginny, we knew the Paca House and Gardens was the right fit for our wedding day. Her expertise, vision, and collaboration helped us plan, implement, and enjoy our whole wedding experience. We are so grateful and would recommend this location for any outdoor event! Weddings, engagement parties, showers- this venue is a magical backdrop for any celebration. -

The Garden of Love
We visited many places before landing at the William Paca Garden. I remember calling and inquiring about the location. It’s was a calm and cheerful conversation about the location. There was no stress or complications from the vendor. We did a viewing of the property within 2 weeks from our conversation. They were very accommodating with our schedules so that made it easier. The venue was beautiful in February so I knew my June wedding would be perfect. Ginny went over and beyond for us. The venue list of florists, rentals, and caterers were great. They all worked well together. It was basically up to our budget moving forward with the vendor. In the beginning we were looking for a package wedding deal. It seemed easier in the beginning but later decided to do something intimate and personal for us. We had a garden wedding with 50 guests. Tiny Bubbles hosted with amazing cocktails and highland graze did a beautiful grazing table with different cheeses, fruits, and passed appetizers. It was a beautiful place with great people who loved to enjoy in our wedding day. -

The William Paca House & Garden along with it's coordinator Ginny, were something I could only dream of. The property itself is amazing and full of history. The gardens are stunning and the pathway to the Summer House is a brides dream aisle.
Ginny was literally the best. She made everything so easy, she has everything figured out and I literally didn't have to do a thing. She is wonderful and made me feel like we'd been friends for a lifetime. I can't say enough good things about her - she truly made my special day, special. The staff that helped her were all warm and wonderful.
I'm beyond pleased that I stumbled across this venue. It was affordable, well laid out, and Ginny has everything you could think of. I can't wait to return year after year to visit!
Thank you Ginny and William Paca House & Garden! -

Andrea H. Sent on 06/21/2022Perfect venue to make all your English garden wedding dreams come true
The Paca house is a gorgeous venue in the extremely charming city of Annapolis. I can’t say enough about how much our guests enjoyed the gardens and view. There are plenty of photo ops. Ginny and her team make the Paca house even more special- she is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and an overall a delight to work with. She will ensure any wedding day anxieties you have are taken care of with the utmost attention. I did not have to focus on keeping up with the day-of-wedding timeline or placing decorations myself because Ginny and her team already had it under control. I can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. -

Jeremy Sent on 07/09/2022Gorgeous gardens, incredible staff
We were incredibly happy with Paca House and Garden for our summer wedding. The event coordinator Ginny is an absolute wizard -- she thoughtfully asked every question in advance, helping us plan for contingencies we didn't even know to think about. She was present during the entire event, with her staff, and managed the vendors (and even a few guests who required wrangling). She knows everyone in Annapolis and was able to give us idiot-proof instructions for how to get and file the marriage licenses, find parking for everyone, and even how to keep people cool in the summer heat.
The location itself can't be beat. The only drawback is parking (the street is very narrow and reserved for residents), but as mentioned above, Ginny helped us reserve spots on the street and direct guests to public parking close by. The gardens are gorgeous - no matter what time of year, something beautiful will be growing there. And with the church bells providing background ambiance, our wedding practically felt like a royal event. Loved it here - if you want a garden wedding, this is the place.
Hi all, groom here, I wanted to add how much we loved the venue, and to reiterate that Ginny and her staff were invaluable in assisting with our perfect day. I cannot stress enough how helpful they were before, during, and after the event, and they did a wonderful job ensuring that all we had to do was getting married and enjoy the day (p.s. mission accomplished). -

The perfect ceremony venue!
Working with Jody Dalton at William Paca House & Gardens was a truly wonderful experience for my and my husband's elopement ceremony with just our parents on 8/19/20. From start to finish Jody was quick to respond, answered all of our questions effortlessly and efficiently and was so flexible and helpful onsite! Not to mention it is an absolutely beautiful venue and a perfect backdrop for a garden ceremony, the grounds are kept perfectly and even after it rained that morning in Annapolis, by the 3pm ceremony, you would never have been able to tell. Would highly recommend Jody and William Paca House & Gardens to anyone! -

Great Venue!
We had a great experience getting married at the Paca House! It was a beautiful venue and Ginny made the day of easy and stress free. We used Main & Market for catering (one of the approved caterers) and their food was delicious- so many compliments. -

Wonderful Experience at the Paca House!
We were looking for a place in Annapolis to hold a reception for our family matriarch that had recently passed. We toured the Paca House and decided to hold it there. That was the first great decision we made. The next was listening to all the suggestions of our event coordinator Ginny! She had great ideas for caters, floral designers and wine suppliers. They all worked in sync. Ginny was wonderful, supportive and cheerful. The property is absolutely beautiful! The house is amazing and had everything we needed. You will be thrilled with holding your event at the William Paca House! -

Carly T. Sent on 05/01/2022HIGHLY Recommend - Truly, the perfect venue!
The Paca House had us within the first 5 minutes of our tour. The beautiful gardens speak for itself but it was Ginny and the Paca House staff who immediately made us feel the warmth and the magic of this venue. Ginny is the true star of this venue as the event coordinator. She helped us every step of the way during our wedding planning process to help our day run seamlessly. She created a timeline, sent vendor organization forms, and prepared meetings along the way to ensure all vendors were in mutual understanding of our vision. Her professionalism and immediate response to any questions we had made her a reliable and trust worthy guide throughout this process . Prior to our offsite ceremony, we used the house as a prep space for the groomsmen and accommodations were created without hesitation. Ginny provided exceptional service and showed us so much kindness throughout the reception. The suggested vendors of the Paca House worked wonderfully together with clear communication which created the perfect reception without any problems. The gardens were well manicured and prepared for our big day which made for the most beautiful backdrop for our photographs. We cannot recommend this venue and the Paca House team enough!! -

Magical wedding weekend!
Ben and I had the most incredible wedding weekend of our entire lives and the Paca House was the magical backdrop! Gorgeous fall weather, everyone said the grounds and the ceremony looked straight out of a fairytale. Ginny was on top of everything and I felt confident that nothing would fall through the cracks. She has a great relationship with all of the vendors too so I was happy knowing the run-of-show would be smooth and that I would be able to forget about all the details and just ENJOY myself - which I did!!! Would absolutely recommend. -

Absolutely beautiful wedding venue
Paca House was an absolutely beautiful venue for our daughters wedding. Ginny was the most kind and helpful wedding/special event director. The gardens and terraces made for an enchanting October wedding. You can stroll the gardens during the reception. Everything ran smoothly and it was the best experience we could’ve hoped for. I highly recommend any engaged couple go check out the Paca House and Gardens. You will not be disappointed from the simple beauty and the reasonable fee to having Ginny calm your stress levels by answering all questions in a timely manner, to running the reception like a well oiled machine. We are over the moon happy that God closed the door on another venue and opened the door to the William Paca House & Gardens. Our experience was an A++++ -

Robin G. Sent on 07/11/2022The Perfect Place for our Reception
Everything about my experience at the Paca Garden was wonderful! Ginny and her staff made my wedding day perfect and went above and beyond. From prompt communication, recomendations on vendors, reassurances when wedding stress came on, to how seamlessly the day itself flowed, I can't recommend the Paca Garden high enough. It's clear this team is professional and knows their venue space. It can be a bit scary not being able to set up your own wedding decorations (I did all DIY), but when I arrived the place looked even better than could have imagined! When rain came and threw us a curveball, Ginny and her team reacted swiftly and helped us pivot, and the day ended up being just as perfect as originally planned. It was a perfect day all around, and the Paca Gardens provided a great venue for the day! -

I can’t say enough good things about the Paca House and Ginny. My parents live right down the street and I’ve always dreamt about getting married here. Ginny and the team at the Paca House made my dream a true reality. She is a master at her craft and will not miss a beat or an item on your to-do list (if you’re crazy like me). We love you Ginny. -
