Looking ahead to 2026, two wedding trends appear on the horizon: Getting married in a beautiful garden and having a smaller, micro-wedding. At Ainsworth House & Gardens, you can have both! Read on to find out about our fabulous wedding venues!
Hey, Christie!
My friend, April, was married at Ainsworth House & Gardens and she loved it! She said you were amazing when answering questions.
Soooo….
I just got engaged! I am so excited! We’re planning a summer 2026 wedding. What are the trends?
Thanks in advance!

Hey, Ella!
Congratulations! We’d be happy to help you plan your wedding here at Ainsworth House & Gardens in 2026!
One of the biggest trends forecast for 2026 is the non-traditional wedding venue such as the gorgeous gardens we nurture here. Botanical gardens are predicted to be the most popular venue so you might want to book your wedding here as soon as possible.
At Ainsworth House & Gardens, we protect your wedding: You and your partner are the only two people getting married at your scheduled time so you have this place all to yourselves. You don’t have to share this elegant, historic mansion and beautiful gardens with any other wedding!
This means that you can have your selection of our multiple wedding venues—both outdoor and indoor wedding venues! Let’s explore where you can get married at Ainsworth House & Gardens, an exquisite wedding venue.
The Grove:
With its wrought iron gazebo which you can decorate with flowers or twinkling lights, this is the perfect setting for an intimate wedding with 20 of your nearest and dearest seated (or 40 people standing). After your ceremony, our newly-renovated indoor Event Center is the perfect location for your cocktail party, reception dinner, and after party!
(In case of less than perfect weather, we can move any outdoor wedding to our indoor Event Center.)
The Front Lawn
This gorgeous garden in front of the historic Ainsworth House built over 170 years ago is a fabulous location for you and up to 75 guests.From the balcony of the mansion, your photographer can take gorgeous photos of you and your guests!
The Pine Tree Garden
Under the expansive branches of our historic Ponderosa Pine, you and your beloved can hold your wedding ceremony. Under our family’s tree, you can start your own family tree!
Seating up to 125 guests, this is a beautiful setting for your wedding!
The Fireside Room (indoors)
Within the Event Center, this Fireside Room gives you the opportunity to host your wedding indoors. Seating up to 125 of your nearest and dearest, this is a fabulous venue for your wedding. In the same building as our The Conservatory and The Garden Room, you can hold all your events here—cocktail party, wedding, reception dinner, and post-reception celebration with dancing!
My suggestion is that you reach out to us, make an appointment, take a tour, and book a date with us.
Then you can decide at which of our wedding venues you want to hold your wedding ceremony!
Your cocktail party, reception, and after party will all be in our Event Center. Let us help you plan your on trend 2026 wedding in our gorgeous gardens!
Your friend in the wedding business,
Christie Shyne
