Classic Wedding Package

The Ceremony

Surrounded by concentric gardens of lavender and other blooming flowers, the center of the Lavender Labyrinth and Flower Gardens provides a spectacular location for your outdoor wedding ceremony. Taylor Mountain serves as a scenic backdrop for the walk down the lavender-lined aisle. The center green turf is an expansive area for the wedding ceremony, with capacity for up to 120 guests.

After the wedding vows, you and your guests can stroll through a picturesque acre of beautiful flower gardens and enjoy expansive views of the Santa Rosa Plain and Taylor Mountain. The lavender bloom begins in late May, peaks in mid to late June and lasts through mid July. The rest of the season, the flower gardens are planted with many varieties of flowers that bloom from May through October.

Bees N Blooms’ beautiful Lavender Labyrinth and Flower Garden provides a space of diverse natural beauty that will frame this important milestone for you, your family, and your dearest friends. Tying the knot at the center of California’s largest labyrinth will ensure you leave with lifelong memories of your special day!

The Reception

For your reception and dinner, the adjacent Pavilion offers a spectacular setting for dinner and dancing, with seating for up to 120 guests. The band or DJ can set up on the balcony above the Pavilion, with room for a dance floor just below. Enjoy a glowing sunset over the Santa Rosa plain as you dine, with a view of the Lavender Labyrinth and Flower Gardens. Your caterer will have access to our Event Center kitchen for prepping and plating the dinner.
