A bit of nostalgia…
Weddings at the Park-McCullough are a long-standing tradition that we're proud to continue through our clients' unions today. The Hall, Park, and McCullough families and friends used "The Big House" and park-like grounds for many a celebration through the decades. This footage from the 1931 wedding of Babs (Ethel McCullough) and Bill Scott offers viewers a unique glimpse into the deep history of Park-McCullough weddings. Enjoy!
