Merchant's House Museum

About Merchant's House Museum

An 1832 landmark house museum in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood, the Merchant’s House offers intimate wedding ceremonies and post-ceremony toasts in its Greek Revival double parlor or 19th-century secret garden. Ceremony-only rentals allow up to 30 people, including the couple, guests, and vendors; a garden elopement is limited to 10. A ceremony and champagne toast can also be booked for up to 30, with the garden and period kitchen used for service. If it rains, the ceremony moves to the double parlor and the toast to the 1850s kitchen. The house is under restoration, with protective scaffolding planned to remain through October 2026.
