Micro weddings and elopements
A private setting for a ceremony and dinner that feel like yours.
Private Garden Venue · Santa Barbara
Private celebrations,
under the oaks.
A secluded garden for weddings, dinners and meaningful gatherings with the people you want closest.
A QUIET PLACE TO GATHER
A garden that already feels special.
Behind its gates, Islay Gardens trades ballroom scale for dappled light, mature trees and a setting that lets your guests settle in. It is a flexible canvas for a ceremony, dinner, shower or celebration.
