From the reviews

We would get married at The Tinsmith again and again if we could! It is THE perfect venue that was designed and staffed to make wedding days seamless. Not only is it absolutely stunning but the staff was incredible and worked behind the scenes the entire day: setting up, transforming spaces, controlling the projector,…

★★★★★ — Nicole, Jul 2023

The Tinsmith was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved the convenience of having the ceremony/reception in the same space, and appreciated the flexibility provided by the different bar options.

★★★★★ — Regina, May 2023

What a beautiful venue!! This historic building is an amazing space for a event or wedding! The green house area makes you feel like you are outside at night and the tin roof garage is so cool with the original tin roof exposed! Foood was catered by Buck &. Honeys and was really good!

★★★★★ — Quincy, Mar 2022

As soon as we walked into the Tinsmith on our first visit, we knew this would be the venue to have our dream wedding in. There is something truly special about walking into that Solarium and seeing the lights up and having the night sky above.

Getting married at The Tinsmith

The Tinsmith 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.
