From the reviews
I got married here in August and it was the most incredible day. The end of summer is when the garden is in full bloom which makes having an outside ceremony ethereal. When we toured the venue, I knew immediately it was where I would marry my husband. I've never seen a venue so unique and beautiful.
Sundance Studios is an incredibly beautiful venue. We live on the West Coast and reserved Sundance in the early stages of the pandemic, so were unable to tour the venue in person when we decided to book.
Our October wedding at Sundance was absolutely perfect! We loved the venue and got so many compliments from our guests. The care and attention to detail in each and every space really shows and I am so glad we found them for our wedding! The owners, Amelia and Kirby, were great to work with.
Sundance Studios is a beautiful, unique wedding venue! We wanted a cute, eclectic venue for our Sunday brunch wedding and Sundance Studios was everything we could have hoped for! Marki, the venue manager, is friendly and helpful.
Getting married at Sundance & the Secret Garden
Sundance & the Secret Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
