This venue is breathtakingly beautiful. There are a few different options for an indoor or outdoor reception. The gardens are a photographers dream with a pond behind the K building. The staff are very professional, they keep a list of preferred vendors to streamline the planning. Their planners and coordinators are the best around. This is a hidden gem in Cherry Valley.

Edward Dean Museum and Gardens is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the Beauty of the property. The beautiful rose garden, the Koi Pond, the stunning grounds created the perfect backdrop for our wedding and made every moment feel magical. I truly that Edward Dean Museum and Gardens apart is the incredible staff from our first tour through the day of the event, everyone was welcoming, professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our experience exceptional. They took a time to answer every question, accommodate our needs, and ensure every detail was handled with care. If you’re looking for a wedding or event venue that offers outstanding customer service, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable experience I highly recommend Edward Dean Museum and gardens in Cherry Valley, California
