From the reviews

I wish I could repeat our wedding day 30x over! The Hemingway Home was the most magical venue - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour by the pool, to the garden reception under twinkle lights. The night flowed perfectly and we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

★★★★★ — Molly, Mar 2022

Dreams really do come true! Words fall short trying to describe how perfect our wedding day was at the Hemingway house, but we can say with heartfelt certainty that it was the best day of our lives (so far!) This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible work of Vicky Furman and her team.

★★★★★ — Madison, May 2022

My wedding experience was nothing but the the best!!! My wedding coordinator at the Hemingway, Jen Diaz, was amazing!! She was always responsive, professional and was always a step ahead. The day of my wedding was more than ever imagined. With her on my side, my anxiety level was non-existent.

★★★★★ — Margarita, Nov 2021

We could not be happier with our experience with Ernest Hemingway Home Weddings + Events. Our wedding was truly perfect and everything we had hoped it would be. Vicky was always responsive and helped me navigate every bit of planning throughout the whole process.

Getting married at Weddings + Events at the Ernest Hemingway Home

Weddings + Events at the Ernest Hemingway Home 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.
