About
Tucked away at the edge of historic Main Street in Sutter Creek, California, The Hanford Garden (formerly The Garden at Sutter Creek) is a beloved outdoor wedding venue nestled in the heart of Amador Wine Country. Known for its storybook charm, lush gardens, and effortless elegance, this hidden gem offers couples the freedom to craft a wedding that’s both deeply personal and visually unforgettable.
Just steps from downtown tasting rooms, boutique hotels, restaurants, and pubs, The Hanford Garden invites your guests to celebrate the weekend, whether that means walking back to their inn under the stars or continuing the festivities on Main Street. With full-day venue access and the flexibility to bring in your own creative team, every couple has the space and time to make their vision come to life.
From cascading florals and vine-draped arbors to starlit receptions on the lawn, The Hanford Garden offers a seamless, enchanting flow between ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner under the lights. It’s Northern California’s best-kept secret — and with Sacramento just an hour away and San Francisco only two, it’s an easy escape that feels worlds away.

Reviews of The Hanford Garden
Beyond grateful for this dream venue and team
What made it even more special was meeting Sabrina, the new manager. She is warm, passionate, and incredibly detail-oriented. You can instantly feel how much she cares—not just about the venue, but about your vision and experience. She walked us through everything with so much enthusiasm and clarity that we left feeling completely confident and inspired.
The new owners, Sabrina and Chase are not just maintaining the beauty of the venue—they're investing in thoughtful, meaningful upgrades that make the space even more magical. From landscaping to layout improvements, it’s clear they want every inch of the venue to feel perfect for their couples.
We feel so lucky to have found this place and to be working with such a dedicated, and talented team. If you're considering this venue—don’t hesitate. You’ll be in the best hands!!
