About the venue

Beaulieu Garden makes a statement with little effort and gives you plenty of the WOW-factor. Your wedding day will be unlike any other. The lush green lawn in the Sunken Garden is a wonderful way to begin your life together. The backdrop is breathtaking, yet there is a casual feel of romance. You wouldn’t call this venue over-manicured or fussy. The stairs and fountain create a natural stage, framing the bride and groom beautifully.

If you are looking for stunning floral arrangements, you don’t even need to leave the property. Have your guests adjourn to the gardens for a champagne toast as they are embraced by the verdant green foliage and year-round bouquet of color. Encourage your wedding guests to wander the grounds since they will seldom find such a wonderful display of native wildflowers and plants.

Ask the expert

I love the simple, sophisticated, and refined look of this celebration – it is reminiscent of a flirty, romantic affair you may find at an antebellum mansion in the South. The photography by Melissa Mermin is captivating – the couple is completely unaware that anyone else exists in their special moment. The sheer joy that exudes from so many of these photographs is the signature of an incredible photographer. Beaulieu Garden is managed by the wonderful team at Paula LeDuc Fine Catering (who is the exclusive caterer for Beaulieu Garden). The menu is a dream for any Bay Area foodie and the presentation resembles art more than food – YUM!
