Our Garden Ballroom is a picture of romance, featuring crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto a Garden Terrace and a hidden Secret Garden. Hosting up to 250 guests, it’s ideal for grand celebrations, while smaller private spaces are available for more intimate weddings. For our younger guests, the Kids VIP Den tucked alongside the garden keeps little ones entertained in a safe, fun environment.
At the close of your magical day, retreat to our Wedding Suite, complete with a four-poster bed and open fireplace—a perfect sanctuary for your first moments as newlyweds. Begin your married life with a Champagne Breakfast in the suite’s privacy the following morning.
We offer two exceptional civil ceremony options:
The Secret Garden – an outdoor setting flowing from the Garden Ballroom, featuring twinkling willow trees, floral walls, and a gazebo.
The Little White Chapel – a recently added indoor space adjacent to the Secret Garden, overlooking the rolling countryside, fully dressed and elegantly styled for your special moment.
Pamper yourself with our on-site Revive Garden Spa & Beauty Rooms, where bridal make-up services—including consultation and trial—ensure you look radiant on your big day.
And for a touch of playful charm, our resident Alpacas love posing for photos, offering a unique backdrop that your guests will adore.
