Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • A tree-lined drive leads guests to this secluded 19th-century country estate. Just 25 minutes from Madison and popular visitor destination Spring Green, it’s home to gorgeous historic farm buildings, a stream, and acres of majestic trees.
  • Your outdoor ceremony takes place in a tranquil clearing beneath the boughs of towering oak. There’s a lovely brick patio for cocktail hour, and the vintage gambrel barn, with its soaring, cathedral-like ceiling, is absolutely breathtaking.
  • An 1850s farmhouse—completely decked out in charming antique furnishings and boasting a roaring stone fireplace—can sleep up to ten guests, and another eight overnighters can be accommodated in the sweet stream-side cottage.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book The Garland, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The rental fee at The Garland in Studio City includes ceremony and reception tables and chairs, china, glassware, silverware, linens and napkins, a bar with bar backs, an indoor dance floor and stage risers, plus outdoor umbrellas, bistro lighting and lawn games. Onsite ceremonies come with a wireless microphone and two speakers, and you'll get a complimentary room on your wedding night. Plan separately for the ceremony fee, catering, the 18% service charge and tax, and a wedding planner.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at The Garland, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. At The Garland, you can say "I do" in Beverly Park, a garden with a stone fountain, a cozy fireplace and towering sycamores, with room for up to 250 guests. Then celebrate in the Garland Ballroom, which hosts up to 300 for a reception, or stay outside in Beverly Park West, a 5,200-square-foot open-air space that works for a fully outdoor or tented reception.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to The Garland or do we have to use yours?

Food and drinks at The Garland come from the in-house kitchen, but you'll bring your own wedding planner, who's required and should coordinate with the hotel for at least a month before the wedding. All outside vendors need to provide a valid certificate of insurance. An outside cake is an optional add-on, with cake cutting starting at $5 per person.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at The Garland, and is there a minimum?

At The Garland in Studio City, the rental fee runs $2,000–$10,000 and the ceremony fee $2,000–$5,000, depending on the day, time, season and space. Catering is priced separately, with an 18% service charge plus tax on all food and beverage. The Garland also offers discounts for weekday and off-peak weddings.

How long do we get at The Garland, and when does the music have to stop?

A wedding at The Garland includes five hours of event time from the start time on your invitation, or six hours if your ceremony is on site. Amplified music is allowed indoors and outdoors, with some restrictions, so ask the catering team about end times for Beverly Park and the Garland Ballroom.

Can our guests stay at The Garland?

Yes. The Garland is a hotel in Studio City with modern guest rooms, so your loved ones can stay where you celebrate, and guest rooms can be reserved at a preferred rate, subject to availability. You'll get a complimentary room on your wedding night, plus a hospitality room on the wedding day. Universal Studios is a short trolley ride away.

What makes The Garland different from the other venues near it?

The Garland has hosted weddings in North Hollywood for more than 40 years, with a resort-style feel in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. You can move from a ceremony under the sycamores in Beverly Park to cocktails in the landscaped courtyard and dancing in the retro-inspired Garland Ballroom, all on one property with lodging for your guests.
