Great outdoor venue!

We had an outdoor ceremony, indoor dinner, and outdoor dance floor at Ahavah in June and it was beautiful. Leslie and Jacob did an incredible job creating the venue that it is. We loved the outdoor dance floor, it made it different and so fun. There is lots of space outside to spread out for people to visit and play games, which made it so fun for the kids too. It was a beautiful venue that gave us the outdoor vibes that we were looking for!

So beautiful!

We had my sons wedding at this beautiful venue! We had so many compliments. The weather was so gorgeous that we were able to have the dance outside. There were lots of places for people to gather. Jacob and Leslie are very accommodating. They even rented us their home so we could be close to the venue. We definitely recommend having your wedding or event here.
