From the reviews

WOW!!! There is not enough good things I could say, or write about both the atmosphere of the Mackey House as well as the staff! Dave + Shelley were the dynamic duo and absolutely crushed every part during and before our special day. Thank you to the Mackey House.

★★★★★ — Katie, Mar 2024

The Mackey House was the absolute perfect place for our wedding day! The venue is breathtaking and all of our guests loved it! There are so many photo ops and lots of locations to chose from for the ceremony. We loved getting to transition to a new place for each of the events for the day.

Getting married at The Mackey House

The Mackey House 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 The Mackey House

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Mackey House — 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.
