About Shofuso Japanese House and Garden

A wedding at Shofuso Japanese House and Garden is a small, quiet affair. The traditional Japanese house and its 1.2-acre garden sit on the grounds of the Horticulture Center in West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, and the site hosts wedding ceremony rentals for up to 40 people. Your wedding photos and film here have water and stone and clipped trees around you, the kind of setting that feels miles from the city.

Here is what's possible. Shofuso offers wedding ceremonies only. There are no receptions, because food and drink pose a risk to the historic house, so you'll plan dinner somewhere else. The count of 40 includes everyone, your photographer, videographer and officiant too. Ceremonies happen when the site is closed to the public, after 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday or on Mondays, with longer four-hour rentals on Mondays or in winter. Evening timing can be lovely for your wedding photos as the light softens over the garden.

Plan carefully, because the rules are strict. Shofuso has a firm policy against wedding photography during public hours, so portraits in your wedding attire belong inside your private rental. You'll share a full itinerary, list your outside vendors, and walk the site at least two weeks before the wedding day, and all setup and teardown fits inside your rental window. Shoes come off inside the house, and the site isn't wheelchair accessible, so think about older guests. A small group also means a quiet garden for your videographer's sound.

  • Email the Shofuso staff early to check dates and the right rental level.
  • Book the required walkthrough and bring your photographer and videographer.
  • Read the photography and wedding policies with them before the day.
