Can I have an outdoor wedding at Eiteljorg?

Our museum is surrounded by sculptures and gardens and is set in the breathtaking White River State Park, so your wedding photos will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

You can work with our friendly wedding team to plan a rehearsal dinner that will set the perfect mood for the following day.
Are we able to book outside vendors like florists, DJs, and photographers?
We do have tried-and-true vendors we would be willing to recommend if you aren’t sure where to start. We welcome outside vendors, but we ask that you discuss them with your Eiteljorg wedding team ahead of time so we can plan appropriately. We will also want to provide your vendors with information about the venue as well as a set of guidelines for a successful event.
