The Best Small Wedding Venue In Palo Alto

The Best Small Wedding Venue In Mountain View – The Elizabeth Gamble Garden

One of the first things to consider when you are planning your wedding is the size of your wedding. Determining your headcount will help establish a budget, and it will also allow you to select an appropriate size wedding venue. If your wedding happens to be around 50 people or less, The Elizabeth Gamble Garden is a venue to consider. Here are a few thoughts on why I think the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is the best small wedding venue in Palo Alto.

Everything Can Take Place All In One Location

One of the first reasons why I believe that the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is the best small wedding venue in Palo Alto is because everything can take place in one location. When you are in the planning stages of your wedding, one of the things I recommend is finding a venue where you can have everything take place. It creates less stress. And you do not have to worry about too many moving parts. At the Elizabeth Gamble Garden, you can get ready there, have your ceremony, take couple portraits, and have the reception at the same place.

The Garden Is BEAUTIFUL At Sunset

Perhaps the main reason why I believe the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is the best small wedding venue in Palo Alto is because of the Garden. I regularly take family and maternity portraits at the Elizabeth Gamble Garden. And it is BEAUTIFUL at any time of the year – especially at sunset. About 30-45 minutes before the sun sets, the sun is in the perfect location for “golden hour” portraits. When planning your wedding, I recommend considering what time the sun sets and planning portraits around this time of day. For example, if sunset is at 8 PM, I recommend taking couple portraits around 7 PM. Typically, couple portraits are taken directly after your ceremony; however, if you can adjust your timeline to have the portraits taken during golden hour – you won’t be disappointed!

The Venue Can Be Customized To Fit Your Style

Last but not least, another great reason to consider the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is because your wedding can be customized to fit your style. Many venues allow only certain vendors. And they also may not allow you to serve your own alcohol, etc. The Elizabeth Gamble Garden allows you to plan and prepare most aspects of your wedding. The only thing that is not allowed is amplified music or a DJ – because the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is right in the center of a residential neighborhood.

If you are planning a small wedding – of 50 people or less. I would highly recommend the Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto. Thanks!
