Zara’s Garden is a beautiful greenhouse/gardens/wedding venue that began hosting events in 2019.  We welcome you to come for a venue visit so we can show you how we can help make your wedding day perfect and exactly how you’ve always dreamed it could be! We would love to be a beautiful start to your happily ever after!  

We have 3 distinct areas available for weddings:  

~The Greenhouse 

~The Cocktail Garden 

~The Lawn (includes outdoor bar & bonfire pit)

The greenhouse is a gorgeous, light-infused space perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The chandeliers and string lighting transform it into a magical space especially after dark. The outdoor areas are designed & newly landscaped specifically with weddings in mind.  This area includes a cocktail garden, ceremony area, lighted pergolas, string lighting, an outdoor bar and a large bonfire pit. There is plenty of additional greenspace for cocktails, mingling, lawn games and photo ops. Within the greenhouse is a room for your caterer to stage your dinner, as well as a new bridal suite - a lovely place for the wedding party to hang out during the day in air conditioned comfort.
