Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Five spectacular venues offer plenty of options for celebrations of all sizes and themes. For a classic garden party-style wedding, opt for the Zellerbach, with its abundance of blooming perennials, stone columns, and three rustic wooden arbors. Or, delight your guests with a celebration in the Garden of Fragrance, a verdant lawn bounded by uniquely scented plants,
- Set on nearly two acres, the grand, versatile Celebration Garden is the venue's beloved centerpiece. Conveniently located by the Main Gate and accented by an amazing array of diverse plants, it offers guests easy access to explore the gardens—admission fees are included—and a large green lawn perfect for an elegant, tented reception.
- A wooden platform, suspended above a quiet pond and framed by gnarled trunks, comprises the Moon Viewing Garden, our favorite spot for an elopement. The Redwood Grove is another intimate option—it feels like a woodsy sanctuary, tucked away among tree-lined pathways and circled by soaring redwoods.
