There are several event spaces to choose from, and all are included in our custom packages. The venue is located far from the lights of the city, the artist owner has put so much energy and effort into creating an amazing one of kind location. It's easy to see that growing flowers and creating beautiful spaces is his passion.
Facilities and Capacity
My Garden Wedding features a multitude of distinctive, breathtaking outdoor venue spaces perfect for capturing that perfect picture. With a capacity of up to 160 guests. To-be-weds can choose to exchange their vows in the stunning Inverted Chapel. This pavilion-style space welcomes friends and family, as couples tie the knot under a minimalist gothic wedding arch from which hang baskets of fresh flowers flowing in the breeze. The site boasts impressive views over Kalamalka Lake and the surrounding mountains. For cocktail mini receptions or ceremonies, the Moongate with Lawn space is an ideal choice that combines artistic Asian design with natural beauty. A new sheltered gazebo is planned for early Spring 2021 and will offer another beautiful space, offering shelter if the weather turns or a place to enjoy appys and refreshments. The gardens offer up the scents and colours of many different flowers along their walk-ways.
Services Offered
The staff of My Garden Wedding is happy to help couples organize their big day. They can provide information about the surrounding area, and point guests in the direction of its best accommodations options. There are several charming bed and breakfasts available. They can also provide access to a range of event items. The management also welcomes elopements and can help to organize a brief but beautiful ceremony, including a bouquet of flowers from their own flower farm and gardens. They also have links with some of the area’s best photographers and wedding planners and are happy to put couples in touch with them.
As a wedding officiant, I see many venues and My Garden Wedding is one of the best. Not just because of the gorgeous surroundings, but also because of the professionalism, the support and flexibility by Ian for me as the officiant, and to and for the couples. There are so many photo opportunities available, too - even in torrential rain and hailstorms that momentarily appeared during one wedding. Thank you Ian! Love working for you and happy to recommend you to my couples.

A Fairy Tale Dream Come True ♡
There are so many amazing things I could say about My Garden Wedding and Ian - the owner. Pictures don’t even begin to show the true beauty of the venue. The attention to detail, care and thought put into every aspect of it is so evident when you set foot onto the property (guaranteed you’ll be blown away + fall in love upon arrival!) We were SO excited to tell our families and all our friends that this is where we were going to get married. We could not wait to see the reaction on the faces of all our guests when they arrived at the venue and saw it in its full picturesque glory. Every guest had such a wonderful time and could not praise the venue enough. We feel so blessed to have gotten married in such a stunning place. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better venue - all thanks to Ian. Ian is an absolutely incredible human - he is kind, funny, easy going & so helpful - truly one of a kind. He made the planning process a breeze, took us for a tour of the whole property to decide which location was best for our wedding day vision and went above & beyond for us. Nothing was ever too much for ask and no matter how many questions we had, they were always answered quickly. From the moment we first were in contact with Ian, through to leaving the day after our wedding everything was a joy. It was truly was a dream come true. I got to pick my very own bouquet from his gorgeous u-pick garden (which is included in the package) and he helped arrange the flowers together... it turned out to be so perfect - prettier than I could’ve ever imagined. I will be back for fresh florals in the future. If you’re thinking of getting married at any of the the 4 beautiful locations on site, I could not recommend it more!!! Thank you for everything, Ian!!! 💐

Hi L and M. It was such a joy to work with you both creating your special day. You both made my job easy. You changed from plan A to plan B, to plan C without taking a breath. You adapted to every situation, including switching venues at the last minute because of a really heavy rain storm.
The pleasure was all mine. Thanks for the amazing review!
Loved the photographs. Thank you Cierra Carlyle

Hi Pam. What a leap of faith you took. Choosing to elope at a brand new venue from pictures alone and a few simple emails.
Thank you so much for the amazing review. We work hard at creating not just a beautiful space but a personal experience. You were a trooper. Creating your own bouquet with your nice high heels on.
Next time you are back in the Okanagan come for a romantic stroll around our gardens and relive some of those special moments. Ian

Amazing venue overlooking the lake
We fell in love with My Garden Wedding and immediately booked our wedding ceremony there. Ian was great to work with and supported all of our changes with the COVID restrictions. We are so happy we went with them and the photos are breathtaking!

Scottish born Canadian artist Ian Donn with his wife Louise created My Garden Wedding over a period of three years. Turning a cattle grazed hillside into a brides dream wedding location.
Opening their doors in 2019. It is one of Canada's latest premier ceremony locations.
With a passion for flowers and always on the look out for beauty this project ticked all the boxes.
The landscape is created using mass plantings of carefully selected flowers and colors, which thrive in the Okanagan climate i.e. Lavender, echinacea ( coneflowers ).
Atention to detail, customer service and providing that wow factor is foremost in the artists purpose.
Its always beatiful to see someone walking away from our gardens with an armfull of fresly picked blooms.
