award winning Wedding venue

The Burroughs Home & Gardens is the only luxury, historic, waterfront venue in the downtown Fort Myers area offering an open-air pavilion (with the option to be fully enclosed) to host weddings and special events.  The open-air, Gale McBride Pavilion was built in 2016 on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River offering breathtaking riverfront views, sultry sunsets and surrounding tropical foliage.  This luxury, historic property hosts a plethora of other attractive features such as the historic Murphy-Burroughs home with wrap-around porches and a verandah, free-standing fountain, a grotto (the first one built in Fort Myers) fed by an artesian well, a secret garden with reflecting pool, gazebo, and palm alley. The Georgian Revival Mansion offers a 2nd-floor Bridal Suite and Bridesmaid Suite while the 1st floor offers luxury space for the men.  The garden features many varieties of palm trees, elephant ears, century-old oaks, ficus, bougainvillea, and birds of paradise. The site also contains a caretaker’s carriage house and utility shed that were built to echo the home’s architecture.  

No need to look any further, the Burroughs Home and Gardens offers all the things you've always dreamed of for your special day ~ all wrapped up into one, breathtaking venue!
