    A dreamy garden venue!

    Woodlawn & Frank Lloyd Wright's Pope-Leighey House was an absolute delight to work with as a wedding vendor. Megan was such a pleasure to work with: responsive, clear, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The outdoor vibe for cocktails and the garden with bistro lights is such a dream, and our guests absolutely loved the unique and picturesque setting. The venue provided exceptional value and I highly recommend it to any couples looking for a charming and memorable wedding location.

    Great Venue

    We got married under the oak tree during a light rain. It was perfect! The gardens were in bloom and everything was beautiful. The staff was awesome in letting us customize our space and we really liked the tent. The venue is in a convenient area, and they have a recommended vendor list. We went with Main Event and you should too!
