Heritage Museums & Gardens

Heritage Museums & Gardens offers a distinctive wedding venue experience on Cape Cod's picturesque grounds along the shores of Shawme Pond in Historic Sandwich, MA. The venue showcases internationally renowned collections of rhododendrons and hydrangeas, featuring over 1,000 varieties of daylilies, hostas, herb gardens, heather gardens, and diverse trees, shrubs, and flowers. Each season brings breathtaking blooms, from vibrant pinks and fuchsias of rhododendrons to soothing blues and purples of hydrangeas. The Heald Center accommodates receptions for up to 130 guests with a dance floor, and can extend onto an outdoor terrace for additional space. The JK Lilly III Auto Gallery provides a unique setting for cocktail receptions, featuring a world-class American automobile collection. For those envisioning tented celebrations, the venue offers sprawling outdoor spaces that can accommodate varying event sizes and styles, from formal black-tie affairs to casual gatherings. Heritage Museums & Gardens works exclusively with two preferred catering partners: The Chef's Table, offering customizable menus with full-service catering, and Clambakes, Etc., specializing in classic New England clambakes with flexible menu options and tent rentals. Due to the venue's unique layout and outdoor spaces, couples are required to work with a wedding planner or day-of coordinator to ensure seamless event flow.
