The Setting
Dedicated to inspire, educate, and delight with contemporary art from New England and beyond through sculptures in the landscape and museum exhibitions, deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum hosts weddings for couples looking to enjoy their unique setting. With sculpture exhibits changing regularly, no two seasons are the same, ensuring a unique experience for each couple.
The combination of indoor and outdoor space overlooks the picturesque Flint’s Pond. Inside, you'll enjoy The Dewey Family Hall featuring artwork from local emerging artists. Just outside the Museum, guests will enjoy the stunning views from the Sculpture Terrace, offering easy access to other areas of the park. Looking for a tented outdoor reception? We have a stunning sailcloth tent on our Pondside pavilion, and your guests will be able to enjoy a constantly changing landscape of large-scale, outdoor, modern and contemporary sculpture and site-specific installations. The Sculpture Park hosts more than 60 works, the majority of which are on loan to the Museum. Create a unique experience for your guests by immersing your event in art and nature.
