“The Lakehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the team at The Lakehouse was friendly, punctual, and responsive in their communication. On the day of, their bridal attendant made me feel like I didn't have to think about a single thing - she took care of every detail seamlessly.

“We absolutely loved our time at The Villa! Starting with the day we first toured the place to leaving the reception to get to our honeymoon, their services went above and beyond. Absolutely recommend the tent and the garden space right next to it, truly felt like a Pinterest dream. All this would have not been possible without Ellen, our wedding day coordinator. Not only did she keep things in check and on time throughout the big day, but she was super accommodating to our requests, knew how to work with our bridal party and guests, and showed an enthusiasm that allowed us to be even more excited during the planning process. Worth every penny!!!”

1620 Winery

The 1620 Winery once served as rope-braiding building when part of the historic Plymouth Cordage Company (The nations oldest and largest manufacturer of ship rigging since the early 1800’s). In 2015, Bob and Raquel Mullaney undertook a comprehensive renovation of the gorgeous historic building as a labor of love in order to restore and preserve its rugged beauty and its historic character. The project was completed in 2017 and the new 1620 Winery reopened as a fully operational Winery, wedding and events venue. The centerpiece of the Winery, our grand ballroom with its exposed brick walls, soaring beamed ceilings, wide plank floors and massive fireplace, this space creates an unforgettable setting for your celebration.Our newly-completed “Barrel Room” is a gorgeous spot for your on-site ceremony (or a smaller, more intimate reception).

“After we toured 1620 Winery at Cordage Park, we immediately got in the car and said to each other that we should book it for our July 2023 Wedding. We have zero regrets! It was so beautiful and unique as a venue. We loved the convenience of everything being in one place- and so did our guests! We also loved that although it is primarily an inside venue (with air conditioning for a summer wedding!), there is a large outside deck for guests to enjoy. Logistics and planning were a dream. They are incredibly organized and prepared for anything. Jenn, the coordinator, clearly knows how to run a fantastic wedding and if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we have no idea! The wine was delicious and a fun talking point for guests. The food was hands down some of the best food we’ve had at a wedding (we loved going to the tasting ahead of time, too!) - our guests are still talking about how great the food was and how unique and fun the venue was. We love, love, loved getting married there and would suggest it to ANYONE looking to book with them. We are so happy with our decision to choose 1620 Winery at Cordage Park.”
