Tyler Gardens

Tyler Gardens is a four-tier formal garden estate in Newtown, Pennsylvania, just outside Tyler State Park along the Neshaminy Creek. The gardens were built in 1931 by George F. and Stella Elkins Tyler as the formal landscape setting for their estate, Indian Council Rock, and draw their design from French and Italian garden traditions. Terraced lawns, stone walls and staircases, gravel pathways, fountains, and bronze sculptures give the grounds a park-like, treehouse-like setting surrounded by tall trees. The property offers three main spaces for events. Tyler Hall, an elegant mansion setting with exclusive use of the first floor and a wrap-around patio, suits gatherings of up to 75 guests as a ceremony space, cocktail hour location, or rehearsal dinner venue. The Garden Tent hosts 100 to 350 guests between April and November, with private use of the gardens for a five-hour event plus two additional hours for photography. The Orangery is a bright, versatile space for micro events of up to 30 guests, or up to 100 when paired with an add-on package, suited to rehearsal dinners, social celebrations, or cocktail hours. Tyler Gardens is managed exclusively by Open Aire Affairs, which provides on-site event coordination, and hosts weddings, micro-weddings, birthday parties, supper clubs, bridal showers, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate events, fundraisers, and rehearsal dinners.
