The 1897 Poe House provides a beautiful historic venue for those seeking a smaller setting for a more intimate occasion. Wedding ceremonies can take place on the front porch of the house or in our beautiful backyard garden. The garden displays seasonal blooming flowers, roses, camellias, and magnolia trees. The backyard garden also provides a beautiful backdrop for wedding receptions and features a brick patio, grape arbor, and rose arch entry. A dressing room for the wedding party is available upstairs in the 1897 Poe House, however events must be held outdoors due to its status as a house museum. Photography sessions can be held inside the Poe House with staff permission.
