From the reviews
My wedding here was a DREAM!!! The BEST venue in downtown Fort Myers hands down. Melissa was my wedding planner and she was amazing! From start to finish my experience with this venue and the wedding coordinator was incredible! 💖💖💖
The Burroughs Home is a stunning wedding venue! I just had the honor of photographing a wedding there, and I absolutely had a wonderful time! The getting ready rooms have a timeless character to them that make the photo so unique!
Burroughs Home & Gardens is an absolute gem in downtown Fort Myers. The historic home is beautifully preserved, full of character, and rich with local history. The waterfront views of the Caloosahatchee River are stunning and create the perfect backdrop for weddings, tours, and special events.
The Burroughs Home is such a special place in downtown Fort Myers! We got married here last month and could not be happier with our decision. The home itself is so historic and full of character, and the grounds are just simply beautiful.
Getting married at Burroughs Home and Gardens
Burroughs Home and Gardens comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
