Editor’s note: This press release was provided by the Bartow-Pell Mansion.

As a service to couples who may have had to adjust their plans, we have opened up space at Bartow-Pell for Minimonies. Now you can hold your ceremony in a posh English garden setting fit for Royalty! Right here, in New York City’s backyard, lies this 19th century hidden gem.

Located on 60 acres in a country setting, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum boasts the charm of yesteryear. From the splendid Greek Revival architecture to the formal garden centered around an impressive fountain pool, your photographer will have an exquisite backdrop to capture the day.

The museum is offering an affordable yet elegant garden ceremony followed by a champagne toast with savory and sweet bites. The day starts with your “first look” wedding photographs before your guests arrive. At the ceremony, your guests will be safely distanced to take part in your special day.

We will happily work with you to tailor your vision for your special day.

At Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum we are carefully following the COVID guidelines to stay safe, while not sacrificing any detail to create the ceremony of your dreams.

Availability starts in July.  Weekend dates are now available. And to accommodate in these uncertain times, we will refund deposits if safety guidelines change and necessitate postponement or cancellations.
