The Process
Got more questions?
Contact us!
Yes! We want you to have the wedding of your dreams. At time of booking, you will receive a preferred vendor list of some of our favorite vendors—but you are not required to use it.
*Please note* DJ and live music must be approved by venue before you hire them. We have strict noise level laws in our community.
Can I hire my own vendors?
To ensure your day runs smoothly, we require all couples to have a professional planner/coordinator — at minimum, a professional day-of coordinator.
While our venue team is here to make sure the property is in perfect working order, we do not manage your timeline or direct the flow of your event. Having a dedicated planner or coordinator ensures your day unfolds seamlessly, and allows you (and your loved ones) to be fully present.
Whether you choose a full-service planner or a month-of or day-of coordinator, having a professional in place is essential to creating a stress-free and organized experience.
Do I need a wedding planner or coordinator?
Fridays & Saturdays amplified music must be off by 9:00 PM and guests must be off the property by 10:00 PM in accordance with The City of Sutter Creek Noise Ordinances. Sundays - Thursday amplified music must be off by 8:00 PM. All guests must be off the property by 9:00 PM. Main Street is super fun for after parties!
How late can my event run?
We are an outdoor venue. Our only indoor space is the bridal maison & bathroom building.
Do you have an indoor space?
You can have beer, wine, & 2 signature cocktails. No straight alcohol (shots, on the rocks, etc.) There are no corkage fees. You must hire a licensed bartender.
What is your alcohol policy and are there corkage fees?
175 Guests.
What is your max capacity?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes! Sutter Creek is a popular vacation destination and The Hanford Garden is located near the end of Main Street—which means there are plenty of hotels, Inns, AirBNB’s, restaurants, bars, pubs and wine rooms within walking distance to our venue! Bars & pubs are very popular for after parties. You can just walk right down.
Are there overnight accommodations nearby?
Our venue rental fee includes full access to the property, our amenities, and a selection of basic tables and chairs. For those looking to enhance their setup, we offer elevated table, chair, design packages and other rental options for an additional fee.
Do you offer any “all inclusive” packages?
