Milwaukie Wedding Sites at Ainsworth House & Gardens

Imagine Your Perfect Day in One of These Beautiful Wedding Locations

Pine Tree Garden

Nearly an acre in size, The Pine Tree Garden surrounds a nearly 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. You will then continue the festivities in our Reception Facility.

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 be taken outside (weather permitting), and then, cocktails and appetizers can be 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 Rooms for dinner.

Maximum Number – 125

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 a horse-drawn carriage and walk along the historic brick walkway set between your seated guests all the way to the House. Your reception dinner and dancing will be hosted in the Reception Facility, with appetizers and cocktails served on the side lawn. The Front Lawn has been a dream setting for many of our former guests.

Maximum Number – 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 Garden Suite through a spinney of slender trees to a wrought-iron gazebo that can be draped in lights and flowers. It’s truly a magical setting! Your guests can gather closely around you and, under the gentle dappled light, hear your vows up close and personal.

Suggested Maximum – 40 if Standing, 20 If Seated

The Reception Facility

Full of natural light and always hospitable, regardless of the weather, our nearly 3,000-square-foot Reception Facility is used by all our events for dinner and dancing. With a maximum capacity of 125, Ainsworth House & Gardens includes a great selection of in-house linens, napkins, and table centerpieces as part of your booking. We will do all the setup and cleaning, as well as coordinate with you and your vendors on all the special décor items you might wish in incorporate.
