Arrive

Leave the city on a Friday afternoon. By the time the skyline is behind you, the road has turned to orchards and dune grass, and the light has changed. Our white venue sits at the end of it, glass, timber, and seven acres of quiet.
the ceremony

Vows in daylight

The greenhouse is glass on every side. Late-afternoon sun moves through the greenery as you exchange vows, with nothing between you and the sky. The room needs no lighting; the light is the room.
the reception

Stay for the evening

As the light goes gold, the celebration moves through the property — cocktails on the covered patio, dinner in the reception space, and a night that carries on beneath the glass. Our team oversees every element so you can be fully present in each moment.

“

The venue is spectacular & exactly what we would have drawn up from scratch. A greenhouse for my husband's greenery wedding dream. Amazing getting ready suites for all the behind-the-scenes footage & fun. A lovely cocktail hour patio for mixing and mingling. And a swoon-worthy reception space with high-end details.

“

They really thought of everything

“Everything was designed so perfectly, there wasn't a bad angle on the property. It was a rainy day, but Ivy House offers a ton of options for staying dry during portraits. It seems like they really thought of everything!”

Truly has a wow factor

“One of the biggest reasons we chose Ivy House was how seamless they make the planning process. Having décor available through Charm Decor and bar service truly makes Ivy House feel like a one stop shop."
