Beautiful Venue, Exceptional Staff!

We came from out of state (Alaska) to have our wedding at the Paine! Working with the staff and them working with our in-state family was a great experience and provided the most magical experience. The gardens were absolutely stunning and the reception spaces were perfect for our 100 person guest list. We especially appreciated their advice and guidance on the planning process as most of us in this position have never done this before! Many of our guests commented on how incredible this venue is and agreed it was the perfect place to celebrate our love!

Paine Art Center

The venue was beautiful and we were able to have everything there which my fiancé loved. The gardens are gorgeous and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Laura was great at making things feel easy and helped take away some of the stress of the day. They were incredible about rescheduling/postponing our wedding due to COVID-19. I would highly recommend them for weddings and events.

Absolutely Stunning

Let's just start with how breath-taking the venue is! Beautifully manicured grounds with countless opportunities for photos. We had a mini Covid wedding at the Paine and a larger one this year. Both dates they were incredibly easy to work with, accommodating, and went above expectations to assist in making the wedding day go smoothly. Thank you so much Laura, Eden and Rachel!

Amazing Venue for ANY Event

We had our wedding ceremony at the Paine and it was the most perfect day. Not only did the gardens provide a beautiful setting, but Laura and her staff made our experience one we will never forget. This venue is top-notch for weddings and Laura is the most genuine, accommodating, and professional event coordinator you will ever meet. Don't miss out on having your wedding at the Paine!

Laura was fantastic to work with and walked us through the entire wedding planning process from beginning to end - including a few changes along the way.

The Paine Art Center and Gardens provided the most beautiful setting for my daughter & son-in-law’s wedding. Michelle Rector, the event manager, was amazing. She provided a sense of calm and direction in the hectic planning stage, rehearsal, and wedding day! With her help and guidance, as well as her wonderful staff, Kelly and Dave had a spectacular wedding. The Paine now has a beautiful new facility, the Conservatory. As the weather was a bit gloomy just prior to the ceremony, Michelle and her staff, provided us with the option to move the ceremony from the Garden to the Conservatory. It was a perfect choice…the wedding in the Conservatory and pictures in the Gardens. We had the best of all possible opportunities and Michelle made that happen! From the rehearsal to the wedding, all details were covered and everything went smoothly because Michelle and her staff are so professional and organized. Kelly and Dave were so happy with their ceremony and picture location and our guests were equally pleased with the opportunity to enjoy such a spectacular location. Thank you! (The reception was held at a different location. The wedding ceremony and pictures were held at the Paine!!)
