About this venue

The Duke Sculpture Garden at the Dixon Mansion in Wallingford is housed on a 100-year-old estate. The most striking features of the four-acre landscaped grounds are Rapunzel stone tower and the Main Building, built in 1889. A newer 3,100 square-foot gallery has been added to the Main Building which is air-conditioned and handicapped accessible for your reception. Our 19th-century ballroom would be available as the perfect ceremony "B" plan. The Gallery features oak floors, soaring exposed rustic beam construction and beautiful lighting. Adjacent to the Main Building is a sweeping manicured lawn perfect for a fairytale wedding. Enjoy handcrafted pizza from our cob pizza oven as you stroll the grounds.

We have so enjoyed working with Heather McCarron and Heather Harrison from JAM Catering while planning our wedding at this gorgeous venue. We live across the country, but they have made us feel prepared for every choice even though we're far away.
Great vegan options!

My fiancé and I are vegan, and were hopeful that JAM's plant based menu would be the kind of food our meat-eating family and friends would love. Our tasting got us so excited for the wedding! The planning process was incredibly professional, and the tasting itself was fun and DELICIOUS! We're so excited to have such thoughtfully made vegan dishes at our wedding!
Amazing!

We are so happy we found Duke Sculpture Garden! The venue is beautiful and unique. Everyone has been so lovely and helpful! I love that this venue is also a community arts center. Also, we are excited that JAM catering will be serving all their delicious food. Can’t wait for our wedding!

Duke sculpture garden is an absolutely beautiful wedding venue. Great ceremony location options — both inside and out. The grounds are well kept and offer a wonderful outdoor space to gather. Inside you’ll find classic Victorian architecture with detailed woodwork which leads to a clean, modern reception area in their community art gallery. The space also serves as a community arts center. Highly recommend this as a unique, yet timeless, wedding venue.
