Enjoy a Backdrop of Gorgeous Gardens and Intimate Receptions 

The Taft Museum of Art’s historic gardens sit nestled behind the museum. Our tented brick terrace provides an intimate retreat for outdoor weddings and receptions with the beautiful backdrop of the lush gardens and open lawn. This 180-person space can be arranged to accommodate a band and a dance floor in spring, summer, and fall.
