Typically owned by the State and/or Parks Department, they are available for a fraction of what privately owned venues charge.
Heritage Hall
Located in the heart of Kirkland, Heritage Hall’s beautiful columns make a classic backdrop for wedding photos. Wedding ceremonies may be held in the Gazebo in the park across the street or in the private rose garden behind the Hall. Prices start at just $60/hour.
