    deCordova is THE BEST

    We can't recommend deCordova enough! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we had so much fun taking photos around the property. We were so thrilled to have beautiful spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, hiding inside while it rained, and reception. Even more, Tori is EXCELLENT to work with! She's fun to be around and working with her makes you feel relaxed during such a stressful time. On the day of the wedding, she did such a great job keeping everything moving forward & working with our other vendors. We're so grateful for Tori, the wonderful staff at deCordova, and the museum for making our day so special!

    We had an incredible wedding at deCordova. The experience working with them was enjoyable. Everyone was responsive, helpful and professional. We had our wedding outdoors in August. Our cocktail hour was on the expansive and beautiful terrace, and our reception in the Dewey gallery. We also made use of the grounds for photos (and were lent a golf cart to get around quickly!) as well as thas roof deck.
    We hope this museum lives on for many generations to come!

    My husband and I have always loved coming to the deCordova Sculpture garden and museum because it is a wonderful place to explore, view contemporary art, and to get away from the city. As a wedding venue it was a great choice for us as it had both the natural setting he wanted and a contemporary quasi urban feel I wanted. In addition, the customer service we received was amazing. Jevon Biffinger was an incredible event manager. She answered all of our questions promptly, calmed my anxieties easily, and was warm and professional in all of our interactions. During our walk through, it was easy to envision how everything would run for the event (even in the case of rain) and so I felt so much more at ease once the day came around. On the day of the event itself, everything was perfect. All the staff were professional and warm, and I couldn't ask for anything more. The price tag is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it if you want an unforgettable event at a truly unique venue and amazing customer service.

By far, one of our very favorite venues to photograph! It's ever changing, and there is so much variety and opportunity for incredible images. Not to mention the staff is kind, helpful, and so easy to work with. We heart the deCordova!
