Weddings

If you are looking for a timeless and serene atmosphere for your outdoor wedding, look no further than Bernheim. No matter the size of your wedding, our grounds hold the perfect spot for you, with multiple locations to choose from. Our most popular sites are the Big Prairie Overlook and the Quiet Garden.

The Big Prairie Overlook is the site of our sculpture, “Let there be Light,” by noted artist George Grey Barnard. It provides an amazing view of the Big Prairie and surrounding knobs.

The Quiet Garden is located on the edge of Lake Nevin and provides a breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding gardens.

The Magruder Picnic area is also available for wedding rentals and provides a peaceful wooded setting for those looking for something more intimate.

Weddings can be held seven days a week for a 2-hour period anytime between 7 a.m. until two hours prior to sunset. Wedding sites are public areas, and other visitors to Bernheim may be nearby during the wedding.
