Outdoor Weddings at President James Buchanan’s Wheatland
Set against the backdrop of the 1828 Presidential mansion, the gently sloped hills of Wheatland provide a dramatic location for your wedding ceremony or rehearsal dinner. The Carriage House, built in 1893, offers two restroom facilities and a staging room for the bridal party. The Carriage House terrace is the perfect location for cocktails before, during, or after your ceremony.
