Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Quirky, welcoming, and bursting bygone California charm, the town of Harmony is a one-of-a-kind setting for one-of-a-kind love stories. The 2.5-acre, one-block town—originally a 19th-century hub of the dairy industry—is home to artisan galleries, a creamery, and a chapel, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and brick courtyards.
  • The famously quaint Harmony Chapel is perfect for intimate "I do"s. Beautiful hand-carved doors in the quirky wine barrel facade lead into a romantic, Spanish-inspired interior, complete with wooden pews, wrought-iron sconces and chandeliers, and Gothic-style stained glass windows. In the gardens, your options are endless: say "I do" in a sweet gazebo, or have your first dance on a small raised stage beneath the soaring arms of a century-old tree.
  • Add "mayor" to your new married title by renting the whole town for a day, opt for an all-inclusive elopement, or craft your day however you please—the fabulous on-site managers are on hand to make your dream day come true. And you simply can't forget the famous Scoop Truck, a converted milk truck that now serves delectable craft ice creams—just one more small legacy from the past that Harmony keeps alive.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Harmony Chapel and Garden, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The $7,500 Wedding & Reception package at Harmony Chapel and Garden includes private use of the Chapel, the Bride's Room, the gazebo and gardens, and the century-old tree and stage area for up to 100 guests. Tables and chairs, outdoor string lighting, two on-site bathrooms, a one-hour rehearsal and an on-site venue manager are included. Plan separately for catering, beer and wine service and tent rentals, which the venue strongly encourages.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Harmony Chapel and Garden, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. At Harmony Chapel and Garden, you can marry inside the famously quaint chapel, with its wine barrel facade, hand-carved doors and stained glass, for up to 60 guests (40 seated). Larger groups can say "I do" at the gazebo or on the creekside stage in the gardens, then celebrate beneath the century-old tree with up to 100 guests.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Harmony Chapel and Garden or do we have to use yours?

Yes. At Harmony Chapel and Garden, you can bring your own licensed and insured caterer or choose from the venue's preferred vendor list, and smaller groups can book Harmony's Tiny Kitchen for dinner. Alcohol is limited to beer and wine, served by a licensed and insured bartender or catering service.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Harmony Chapel and Garden, and is there a minimum?

At Harmony Chapel and Garden, a ceremony-only package is $2,500, and the Ceremony Plus package adds two hours for dinner for $1,000, plus $45–$65 per person for catering. The Wedding & Reception package is $7,500 for up to 100 guests, and renting the entire town of Harmony for 10 hours is $15,000. Ask about midweek pricing.

What's the backup plan at Harmony Chapel and Garden if it rains on our wedding day?

Harmony Chapel and Garden sits in a cool, windy coastal climate year-round, so the venue strongly encourages renting a tent for weddings and receptions in the gardens. For a smaller ceremony, the chapel itself holds up to 60 guests (40 seated and 20 standing), so you can move your vows indoors.

Yes, it's a natural fit. The All-Inclusive Tiny Wedding and Elopement package at Harmony Chapel and Garden is $3,750 for up to 10 guests, Monday–Thursday from 10am to 5pm. It includes 90 minutes in the chapel or gardens, a licensed officiant, a photographer with a mini portrait session, florals, a cutting cake and champagne with keepsake flutes. Additional guests are $35 each, up to 20.

Can our guests stay at Harmony Chapel and Garden?

Yes, on a small scale. The Harmony Cottage, a two-bedroom home built in 1906 in downtown Harmony, can be booked through Airbnb with a two-night minimum, starting at $185 per night.
