Every season brings a new feel to the Gardens, and with the intricate craftsmanship throughout, it's safe to say we have never seen a bad day here! Our gardener works hard to ensure that we have vibrant colors throughout the year, starting in early May (sometimes mid-April!) until near the end of October. Our fountains run starting in the beginning of May and get winterized toward the end of October as well.

The Inn at Irwin Gardens boasts multiple lawns with endless picture-perfect settings. Additionally, we have electrical outlets throughout our Gardens, enabling you to select your favorite spot! Come join us on a tour and get a sense of how versatile our venue can be!

Guests may have access to the house only during any hour(s) that you have rented our First-Floor. This is in addition to any other package that you might rent with us.

Want to give guests the chance to experience the historic building during your event/wedding? We suggest booking our First-Floor for a Welcome Hour, Cocktail Hour, or after your rehearsal the night before! Speak with our Venue Coordinator to find out the best route for you!

Due to the nature of our site and it not having been originally built for the intended use as a venue, we do not have a Plan B for rain.

We are able to hold up to 75 guests indoors at one time. If the swap from an outdoor event to an indoor event is needed, we require that decision 5 days in advance.

The Inn at Irwin Gardens also highly recommends that renters secure a tent for their event if this is a major concern, and we will gladly help recommend vendors for this.

Indoor events are able to hold up to 75 guests, and up to 18 for a seated meal

Our Terrace Package has a maximum of 200 guests, and up to 80 for a seated meal.

Full Garden events have a maximum of 200 guests, and up to 150 for a seated meal.

The Inn at Irwin Gardens provides private parking spots for up to 5 cars in order to set-up, tear-down, or provide easier access to your event.

Free parking for guests can be found along a number of streets around the Inn. We also have a working relationship with Central Middle School just around the corner, so that your guests can park free in their parking lot less than a minute walk away! If your event falls on a school day, we will work to see if this method is possible, and update you as soon as we find out!

Yes. The Inn at Irwin Gardens requires renters to obtain methods to provide event security staff for the duration of the event if there are over 50 guests and alcohol is being served.

We do this in order to keep both the Gardens and our Guests safe, as there are quite a few entrances and exits in the Gardens. Party crashers won't be a thought in your mind when you have a trained security member or two!
