About Weddings at Ainsworth House & Gardens
While we only ever celebrate one event at a time, there are three distinct outdoor wedding venues for your wedding at the Ainsworth House & Gardens, as well as indoor options available throughout the year, or if the summer sun decides to melt that day.
The Ainsworth House itself is available before the ceremony for the exclusive use of the wedding party, complete with Bride’s Suite (with separate door), Groom’s Lounge, and, on the ground floor for easy access, a sitting room for your families.
Also, once you’ve booked the day, you can change your mind on which site to use as often as you like because we never “double book” ~ yours will be the only event at the site.

The Pine Tree Garden
Nearly an acre in size, the Pine Tree Garden surrounds a lone 200+ year-old Ponderosa Pine which towers over the grounds, stretching its branches to cover your wedding party with its ancient blessing.
After the ceremony, cocktails and appetizers are usually served on the lawn, while music provides further ambiance. During this time, the wedding party can retreat for private or group photos near the House or in the Grove. Dinner will be served in the Reception Facility with dancing and the serving of the Wedding Cake.
Maximum Number – 125

The Fireside Room
Indoor wedding ceremonies at the Ainsworth House & Garden are performed in the Fireside Room.
After the ceremony, the full group picture can still be taken outside from the balcony, (weather permitting,) and then cocktails and appetizers are usually served in the Garden Room. During this time, the wedding party can retreat for private or group photos near the House or in the Grove while the House and Catering staff will reset the Conservatory and Fireside Room for Dinner.

The Front Lawn
The Main House makes a marvelously romantic backdrop for your ceremony, which will be celebrated on the main steps. You can arrive by horse-drawn carriage and walk along a white or petal-strewn carpet set between your seated guests, all the way to the House.
Your reception dinner and dancing will be hosted in the full reception facility, with appetizers and cocktails served on the Side Lawn. It is a dream setting for many of our former guests.
Suggested Maximum Seating – 75

The Grove
A Wedding in the Grove is an intimate choice, best suited for smaller groups. It’s just a short walk from the Bride’s Room through a spinney of slender trees to a wrought-iron gazebo draped in lights and flowers. Its a truly a magical setting!
Your guests can gather closely around the wedding party and under the gentle, dappled light, hear your vows up close and personal.
Suggested maximum – 40 if standing, 20 if seated.
