Leu Gardens Ceremony Sites

When you book the Harry P Leu Gardens venue, you have the option of choosing your ceremony location from different locations they offer.

THE IDEA GAZEBO

The Idea Gazebo is large, grand, and beautiful. Although is tucked away in the garden, it is the closest gazebo to the main entrance. We recommend this spot for ceremonies with more than 10 guests and if you have older attendees and attendees with walking difficulties.

THE TRELLIS

The Trellis is the only spot surrounded by trees and a lot of shade. It's tucked away on the back of the venue and it has 4 benches that accommodate about 10-12 guests. Please note that this spot is all the way on the back of the gardens and it's a bit of a walk. This spot is NOT recommended for couples with older attendees or with attendees with walking difficulties.

THE SOUTH WOODS GAZEBO

NO GUESTS

This cute little gazebo is tucked away in a wooded area of the gardens. It's the only spot that is covered (although the garden provides backup regardless of the spot you choose) and it's perfect for couples without guests. We can't setup chairs in this spot without making it difficult to walk through it or take photos, therefore, this spot is only for couples eloping without guests.

(PHOTOS IN ORDER)

THE SOUTHER GARDEN, ROSE GARDEN, THE LANDING,

AND THE OAK TREE AT THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN

Spots shade recommended year-round: The Southern Garden and the Oak Tree a the Butterfly Garden.

The Rose Garden and the Landing receive FULL sun during the entire ceremony, therefore, these spots are recommended during our cooler months only. Please note that the roses are trimmed in February and won't be in bloom until April.

LANTERN ROOM

If the venue doesn’t have any other private events booked in this area, you may also hold the ceremony inside the Lantern Room, a beautiful lakefront space located within the main building. This option is popular for couples who prefer to have their ceremony in an air-conditioned location. We still go outside to take photos throughout the gardens, but the ceremony and family portraits would take place in the comfort of air conditioning.
