From the reviews
You are sure to learn so much about Eastern Shore history, as well as how that history connects with the overall story of Virginia and the United States, when you tour this incredible mansion. The grounds are beautiful to explore during an afternoon!
Definitely on next year's plans. The friendly caring atmosphere kept us all entertained until well after sunset. We have decided to return for the Christmas festivities as well!!!.
Getting married at Ker Place (Shore History)
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
