About Manatee Village Historical Park
Make your own history!
Our museum is versatile and can hold events like wedding ceremonies, birthdays, reunions, club meetings, and more. The 1887 Church is nestled under a canopy of native oak trees and can provide a simple romance and charm. It includes air conditioning, two ready-rooms, and beautiful 1880s pews that comfortably seat up to 100. The Courtyard and Gazebo is great for picnics, crafts, and to enjoy nature. The Pavilion is perfect when you need access to water and electricity, while also providing shade from the sun. Let us know what you're planning, your preferred date, and we'll get back to you with our availability and pricing!

Perfect for a vintage/rustic style wedding
- An Eventective User
I had my vintage/rustic inspired wedding here and had the pleasure of working with the park's wedding manager, Karla. The whole experience was amazing... From the beautiful historic church setting (which makes your pictures look outstanding), to Karla's quick and responsive help. I received several compliments from my guests about how much they loved attending our ceremony there. Some helpful tips to know: 1-Only fake flower decorations are allowed in the church for preservation purposes (bouquets and boutonnieres may be real flowers); 2-You reserve for a 3 hour block in which everything must be done in...setup, ceremony, and clean up. Would highly recommend!
