Located in a serene and timeless tree-lined setting just north of downtown Baltimore, Evergreen Museum & Library provides a diverse and customizable array of outdoor and indoor settings for your wedding day. The estate features a magnificent 19th-century Gilded Age Mansion surrounded by elegant and manicured gardens and a sprawling terrace, perfect for a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and a charming Carriage House which features exposed brick, original woodwork, and a custom tented patio, a beautiful indoor location for dinner and dancing.

Terrace & Gardens

Evergreen Museum & Library is a nationally registered historic property that boasts beautifully maintained grounds reminiscent of the European countryside for ceremonies and outdoor celebrations. For almost 75 years (1878-1952), Evergreen was the elegant country retreat of Baltimore’s civic-minded Garrett family, and the grounds showcase the family’s impeccable eye for aesthetics. The centerpiece to the gardens is a regal stone fountain that provides a timeless backdrop for exchanging vows. The adjoining Terrace—with its hand-wrought iron railings, seasonal flowering gardens, and exquisite Tiffany glass and metal awning—provides an incredible atmosphere for sipping cocktails. A limited number of times per year, the gardens can be tented for larger celebrations.

Tented Garden Weddings

Our tented garden weddings offer a fully-outdoor rental option for those who want to spend the whole night in our gardens!

The Gardens provide the perfect setting for fully tented events. The house and grounds are a monument to the family’s impeccable attention to detail and the perfect backdrop for your tented event. The focal point of the gardens is a regal stone fountain that provides ideal scenery for exchanging vows.

Due to the impact of these events on the property’s grounds, we host a limited number per year. The fully tented garden option requires booking of 3-4 full days for tent set up and breakdown–please reach out for further information.
