The Anne of Green Gables Museum feels almost impossibly made for a love story.
In peaceful Park Corner, beside the Lake of Shining Waters, stands the Campbell family home that Lucy Maud Montgomery loved so deeply she called it her “Wonder Castle of My Childhood.” Built in 1872 and surrounded by rolling green fields, gardens and water, it is a place where the line between real Prince Edward Island and the storybook world Montgomery created seems to disappear.
And now, couples can make a little piece of that story entirely their own.
During your wedding, the property is exclusively yours, with celebrations of up to 60 guests able to unfold across the historic home, gardens, grounds and private beach.
But perhaps the most extraordinary place to say your vows is inside.
On July 5, 1911, Lucy Maud Montgomery stood in the parlour of this very house, in front of the fireplace, and was married.
More than a century later, couples can stand in that same room.
The organ and furnishings used for Montgomery's wedding are still there today, surrounding an intimate ceremony of up to 30 guests with something that cannot be recreated by styling or décor.
History.
For couples who have always imagined an outdoor ceremony, the story becomes different but every bit as romantic.
You might walk toward the garden gazebo with flowers and the Lake of Shining Waters around you. You might choose another beautiful corner of the grounds, surrounded by the fields and gardens that Montgomery knew herself.
Or you can cross the road to the property's private beach.
There, instead of a parlour or garden, the ceremony can unfold beside the water with the Gulf of St. Lawrence stretching beyond you and the Island sunset beginning to colour the sky.
And everywhere you turn, there seems to be another piece of the story.
The Lake of Shining Waters.
The old Campbell homestead.
Gardens surrounding the property.
Rolling green fields.
The private beach.
And those wonderfully unmistakable Prince Edward Island landscapes that somehow already look as though they belong on the pages of a book.
There is something beautifully poetic about beginning a marriage here.
Generations of the Campbell family have cared for this land. Montgomery spent childhood days here, found inspiration here and eventually chose this house as the place where she would become a bride herself.
And now, more than a century later, another couple can walk through those same rooms on their own wedding day.
Then evening begins to soften everything.
The lake catches the changing sky. The fields turn golden. The gardens grow quieter and the old house sits exactly where it has for generations.
For a few beautiful hours, one of Prince Edward Island's most beloved stories makes room for yours.
And perhaps there could be no more fitting place to begin a marriage than somewhere that has spent more than a century reminding the world to believe in imagination, kindred spirits and love stories worth remembering.
