The Garden House

The Garden House, located on the historic site of the former Look Park pool building in Northampton, is a beautifully restored Mission Style banquet facility that has become the premier venue in the area. Originally built in 1930, the building underwent a significant restoration in 1999, transforming it into a space that combines nostalgia with elegance. The interior of The Garden House is a testament to simple sophistication, featuring a large stone fireplace and mahogany-paneled walls adorned with hand-crafted botanical stencils, creating an inviting atmosphere for any event.

Guests at The Garden House can enjoy a variety of amenities and charming features. The enclosed sunporch offers picturesque views of Look Park’s attractions and is tastefully accented with wrought iron accessories, opalesque wall sconces, and vintage-style awnings that harken back to the building’s original days as a pool facility. Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 175 guests, the venue is equipped with 5-foot round tables and chairs, a built-in 15 x 18 dance floor, and is both carpeted and air-conditioned to ensure comfort throughout any event.

In addition to its elegant indoor space, The Garden House boasts a 40 x 60 white tent available from May through mid-October. This tent provides a stunning setting for wedding ceremonies, social hours, or additional seating for larger events. Conveniently located just steps from the main room, the tent is connected to the building by a canopy, ensuring guests are sheltered from inclement weather. Enhancing the venue’s versatility, the built-in mahogany bar and state-of-the-art caterer’s kitchen make The Garden House an ideal choice for a wide range of gatherings.
