About

The estate features a magnificent 19th-century Gilded Age Mansion surrounded by elegant and manicured gardens. In addition, there is a sprawling terrace, perfect for a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Furthermore, a charming Carriage House with exposed brick, original woodwork, and a custom-tented patio exists. It's a beautiful indoor location for dinner and dancing.

History & Detail

Evergreen Museum & Library is a nationally registered historic property. It boasts beautifully maintained grounds similar to the European countryside.

For almost 75 years (1878-1952), Evergreen Museum 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 of the gardens is a regal stone fountain. It provides a timeless backdrop for exchanging vows. In addition, 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. Furthermore, the gardens can be tented for larger celebrations for a limited number of times per year.

The Carriage House

The Carriage House provides an inviting and unique indoor space for dinner, dancing, and festivities. Carriage House rental includes a tented patio that encloses an original brick façade, two oversized green wooden carriage doors, a wood-paneled Carriage Room and access to the stables.

There are numerous options for customizing the space and creating a unique wedding reception. The Carriage House can also host indoor ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions and provides a rain location for outdoor events.

Capacity

The Carriage House Patio is tented from March to December. When the tent is down during winter, interior spaces can host 150 seated guests and 225 standing.

Our staff is dedicated to providing guidance, recommendations, and creative ideas to help customize your experience at the Evergreen Museum & Library.
