Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This dreamy garden oasis, nestled right at the edge of Sutter Creek's historic Main Street, feels like a quaint destination getaway... but much closer to home. Designed with care to offer an elevated, timeless experience, this magical place provides everything you need: a dance floor and stage, glowing lighting throughout, elegant built-in bars, and a range of package options to accommodate elopements, ceremonies or receptions, or full wedding weekends.
- Three exquisite al fresco event sites offer a seamless flow from ceremony to cocktails to reception—but your day begins in two beautifully appointed dressing suites. You might opt for a first look among the lushly landscaped paths before exchanging vows in the waterfall-accented Ceremony Garden and mingling over cocktails in the pretty shaded Cocktail Grove. Finally, dine and dance in the stunning, three-tiered Reception Garden, illuminated by bistro lights overhead and surrounded by colorful blooms, intricate stonework, and mature shade trees.
- Pricing is transparent, affordable, and incredibly flexible, including all the necessary details while offering plenty of freedom for customization. You're welcome to select your own caterer and BYO alcohol—there are no minimums or corkage fees—and given access to a thoughtfully curated collection of in-house rentals, so it's easy to dream up your perfect day and even easier to bring it to life.
