- Everything can take place at the venue. Getting ready, portraits, ceremony, reception – there’s no need for running around venue to venue! The surrounding area is beautiful too.
- There are indoor and outdoor options at this venue! You can host your guests al fresco on the brick patio, add a tent, utilize the porches, or take the party inside the historic home.

Pro Tips for Weddings
at The Gadsden House
- Consider having your ceremony a couple hours before sunset. The lighting can be harsh in the courtyard before then.
- Build in as much time as possible for portraits – you’ll want to take advantage of the home’s beautiful nooks!
- Keep an area clear of bags and trash for getting ready, bridal, or couples portraits. You’ll want some photos amongst the tall windows and beautiful chandeliers.
- Since the venue is downtown, there isn’t much free parking but there is a parking garage right across the street. Make sure your guests know how to find parking and that they will probably need to pay a small parking fee.
