Had our very small intimate wedding here September 2018 and it was perfect. There were quite a few people there bc there was a live band playing in the pavilion (not associated with our wedding). When it was time for me to walk “down the aisle” the band in the pavilion stopped playing until we were done with our wedding vows which was so very thoughtful and then preceded to play again and even offered my husband and I to have our first dance in front of 100+ of their quests. 😳😊 Besides the beautiful location and thoughtful patrons that were there for other reasons, you can have your small wedding at Pen Mar for FREE!
