The Friends of Deepwood offers rentals of the formal gardens from May through the end of October. Deepwood Museum & Gardens is a beautiful backdrop for any event with its manicured formal gardens and nature trails, set beside our 1894 Queen Anne style Victorian home and carriage house. The venue features several gardens, and a tented tennis court all connected by brick and gravel pathways bordered by charming wrought iron fencing and gates. Ivy covered arbors and gazebos provide unparalleled photo opportunities.

Deepwood recognizes that wedding couples have different expectations and needs for their wedding day, and we offer different packages to accommodate those needs. If you’re looking for a ceremony in one of the beautiful formal gardens and an outdoor reception on the covered and lit Court Area, you’ll want to explore the Victorian Dreams wedding package. If you’re interested in a lovely ceremony and reception on the sprawling property, the Garden Gala package has what you need. Do you need a venue for your reception only? Then look no further at our Tented Court Ball package. Please e-mail Elizabeth@DeepwoodMuseum.org to learn more about our packages.

“Deepwood Museum and Gardens was a perfect venue for our early August wedding. The variety of gardens offered multiple photo opportunities. Our favorite spot was the Solarium, where we signed our marriage license. The ceremony took place in the Great Room Garden. Despite being a hot summer evening, it was shaded among the trees.

Elizabeth was incredibly helpful from the start. Her willingness to meet with us when we had questions and her quick responses were greatly appreciated! The on-site staff were excellent, setting everything up before our arrival and tearing down afterward.”—Gabriel C., Google
