At the Bandstand Green there is no need to bring in a dance floor, this area has a 40x40 floor perfect for dancing that can be decorated with a large trellis or a smaller over hang.

The Green behind our 100 year old Standard School creates an atmosphere so stunning and whimsical, with mature landscaping and flowing pine trees all nestled in a woody area close to the front of the museum.

I had my wedding at the Kern County Museum, and everyone was so wonderful and helpful. The staff really went above and beyond to work with me to make everything happen just how I wanted it, and the setting could not have been more perfect for a spring garden wedding.

This idyllic venue is one of my favorites, it has a lot of versatility and the staff is really kind and helpful. One of Bakersfield's largest public venues, I appreciate the time they take to make sure that the grounds are well taken care of. I will continue to send my clients to Kern County Museum!!
