Wedding venue in Auburn, New York




About Seward House Museum
The Seward House Museum offers weddings on the grounds of its National Historic Landmark property. Couples may book the gardens for a ceremony, the venue for a reception, or both; the Italianate mansion provides a historic backdrop and interior space for wedding photographs. The South Lawn is the largest garden space, with additional smaller garden areas available. Reception options include the Event Center in the refurbished Barn and Carriage House buildings and the museum interior, which is available for receptions after regular hours. Food is not allowed inside the historic home.
