Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Tucked away in a wooded canyon, this garden hideaway has a magical, transformative quality. Whether you’re planning a country-style reception, family reunion, or frothy Victorian wedding with picture hats and parasols, you'll find a perfect fit here—and generous, inclusive packages make the planning process a breeze.
- A stone platform sets the stage for your ceremony in the fern grotto, nestled deep in a grove of towering bay trees and big-leaf maples. Indoor celebrations are held in the spacious lodge, which features warm decorative flooring, a cozy stone fireplace, and a wall of windows framing a view of the garden.
- Dine and dance on the sunken dance floor, shaded by a natural canopy of alder and maple trees on two lovely terraces. All around, pottery urns overflowing with impatiens and ferns add spots of color, and winding paths lead to shady nooks containing wrought-iron or wooden benches perfect for a stolen kiss.
