From the reviews
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Seibels House and it was a dream venue! If we could do it all over again I’d still pick Seibels House hands down! The historic home is basically a blank canvas to set up however you desire.
My group decided to have a Bridgerton themed Tea Party in the garden and it was most exquisite; we had the best time! The venue was extremely easy to locate the beauty and the restoration of this building was in pristine condition and it hosts and it hosted almost a total of 90 guests.
Beautiful, I went here to visit to look for a wedding venue for my sister. The staff was so friendly and I really enjoyed my tour.
I went to a Holiday Social for a professional organization. The event space was nice and there was parking avaliable on the street. I think there may be a lot in the back too, but I'm not sure.
Getting married at Seibels House & Garden
Seibels House & Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. 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.
Corporate events & private parties at Seibels House & Garden
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Seibels House & Garden — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
