Barb Span helped us book the Oldest House- she said there were little to no limitations on what we could do in the space which is amazing to hear.

Different from other venues, we only had to book the space, and the rest was left to us. We could choose any vendors, and that allowed us to curate our wedding reception exactly how we wanted it. I've noticed other venues require food and drink minimum, but this was not the case at all. We were more than happy with the venue and loved every aspect. 10/10 venue, 12/10 staff

Perfect Tropical Location

We had our wedding ceremony at the Oldest House Museum & Garden on 1/22/22. It was absolutely stunning-the grounds are newly renovated and they did a fantastic job. Staff was great and accommodating. We took most of our couples photos on the grounds and we are so happy that we did! Would do it all over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
