Tucked into the heart of Napa Valley wine country, Beaulieu Garden is one of California’s most exclusive and enchanting venues. With its dramatic sycamore canopy, formal rose garden, and storied lineage of hospitality, hosting a wedding at Beaulieu Garden is an invitation to embrace the splendor of old-world romance through a modern lens.
From exquisite tablescapes inspired by French refinement to private garden entertainment, here’s how to elevate every element of your celebration at this iconic estate.
Set the Scene with Refined Garden Elegance
A wedding at Beaulieu Garden begins with the venue’s natural grandeur. The tree-lined alleée offers a picture-perfect backdrop for ceremonies, while the lush grounds invite you to reimagine the traditional garden fête with modern sophistication.
Design tips for visual impact:
- Use tonal floral installations to enhance—not compete with—the venue’s organic beauty
- Incorporate antique-inspired seating and chandeliers for a hint of French countryside refinement
- Elevate ceremony moments with lush floral arches or sculptural garden urns filled with seasonal blooms
Whether working with a wedding ceremony planner or a team of full-service wedding planning professionals, attention to the space’s natural rhythm ensures a celebration that feels both intentional and timeless.
Dine Under the Stars: A Curated Culinary Experience
No wedding at Beaulieu Garden is complete without a dinner that’s as thoughtfully executed as the setting itself. The venue lends itself beautifully to a multi-course al fresco meal framed by manicured hedges and canopy lighting.
Ideas to inspire your dinner service:
- Offer a chef-led tasting menu with curated wine pairings from Napa’s finest cellars
- Include French or Mediterranean-inspired courses to complement the setting’s European ambiance
- Provide personalized menus, embroidered napkins, or crystal place cards for a bespoke touch
Many couples also opt for sommelier-hosted pairings or interactive culinary moments curated by expert planners such as our full-service wedding planning team or our luxury wedding planners well-versed in elevated guest experiences.
Entertain with Purposeful Charm
Guest entertainment at Beaulieu Garden should be as memorable as the setting itself—thoughtful, intimate, and deeply immersive.
Consider these elegant enhancements:
- A string quartet nestled among the trees for ceremony or cocktail hour
- Private garden tours led by the estate team for guests with a love of history or horticulture
- Late-night cigar lounges, espresso bars, or silent disco under the stars for an unexpected twist
