Whimsical Spookiness!
Lauren and Adam celebrated their marriage with one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve seen at Shiraz Garden. Every moment was perfect. With an intimate list of 60 guests, these two didn’t hold back on the unique details and guest experiences!
Lauren, the beautiful bride, exuded confidence and elegance, never shying away from incorporating personal details to make the celebration their own. The mix of breathtaking aesthetics and unexpected twists created an atmosphere that perfectly blended moody sophistication with a touch of whimsical spookiness!
“I went with a dark and moody wedding theme to play off
of my love for Halloween.” Lauren
“Fun Fact - I walked down the aisle to the Game of Thrones theme song.” Lauren
OUTDOOR HILL COUNTRY CEREMONY OVERLOOKING THE CO RIVER VALLEY
These two married under the Large Oak at Sunset Vista, our primary outdoor vista ceremony space. And it did not disappoint on this perfect October wedding!
FIRST LOOK + golden hour portraits - HIDDEN STAIRCASE
We must admit that the photos from this day are particularly jaw-dropping! Photos + Video by The Williams Weddings are always some of our favorite galleries; their unique vibes also bring a fun and effortless “chill” to the day that Lauren and Adam loved.
The Hidden Staircase provides the perfect first-look location with shade and a stunning water feature for a whimsical and unique backdrop to such a special time. Mohana Outlook, after the ceremony, then provides the perfect post-ceremony Golden Hour location as it’s open to the sky and the sun sets behind a grove of oaks nearby, giving off the perfect shade for the couple but the golden sunset behind them on the landscape in the background.
Words cannot express enough the incredibly wonderful experience we had with Shiraz Garden.It all started with meeting Kalli! From the moment I started communicating with you about the venue and availability to the day we did the site visit. Shiraz was the first of 2 site visits we did that day. After the other site visit, Lauren and I both knew Shiraz was the one and because of your vast knowledge of the property, the way you explained everything, and your enthusiasm of the property sealed the deal for us. Plus the beauty of the property was phenomenal!! From that day forward, the communication was truly outstanding as I’m a believer that you can NEVER over-communicate and that is a huge plus in my book.
There was never a moment where I felt confused, frustrated or bewildered and overwhelmed because I could count on you to help me through the process and you did exactly that and that is priceless.I have to thank you for all your recommendations, especially with the wedding planner, Jazmin and Lauren were terrific together and hit it off from the get go and hit it running.I also want to commend the staff that helped us on the day of the wedding, they were very attentive and happy to help in any way with out fuss and generally seem to really enjoy what they were doing. That is rare!ut I must point out someone that went way out of her way and beyond to lend help in any aspect that was needed, and that lady was KAYLA. She is remarkable and a true asset to Shiraz! She was so pleasant and inviting and was always happy to help in anyway she could and that type of attitude with service is exceptional! Another gentleman by the name of GABE was such a great helper with a can do attitude and was so gracious in helping us pack up and did it with a smile and gratitude. Kalli, thank you again for all that you do and did to make Lauren’s wedding dream become a reality! It was truly magical and a beautiful memory I will cherish for a lifetime!

I recently had my wedding here on October 8th, and it was more than I could have ever dreamed of! Let me start off by saying Shiraz was not my first choice of venues, but due to wanting my wedding in October and this being one of the only places i could find with the date, we decided to do a walk thru to actually see the venue in all its glory. It did not disappoint! Shiraz is honestly the most beautiful venue around. The Pictures do not do it any justice; you have to see this place in person to see the vast beauty of it. It has views for days! Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff is also even more amazing. Everyone went above and beyond for us, and I seriously mean this. Kalli is nothing short of amazing. she is one of the kindest souls i have met and super helpful. She alone is such a huge selling point for the venue. Every Question we had, she had a answer and more! Kayla, our shiraz rep for the day went above and beyond for us. I could list all of the amazing things the did for us but we would be here all day. if you want an indoor/outdoor venue with amazing views, BOOK THIS! You will not regret it!

FLORALS & DETAILS - DARK AND MOODY WEDDING THEME
Choosing dark and moody florals for a fall wedding theme adds an air of romance and intrigue to the overall aesthetic. Lauren and Mark's wedding at Shiraz Garden perfectly showcased the beauty of this choice. If you're considering incorporating dark-colored roses and light-colored flowers in the same color scheme with contrasting elements, our local florist, Blooms & Petals, has some expert tips. Combining deep burgundy roses with delicate blush peonies or cream-colored ranunculus creates a stunning contrast that elevates the overall visual impact. The interplay of light and dark hues adds depth and dimension to your floral arrangements, evoking a sense of mystery and allure. Brenda Abbott Florals specializes in crafting exquisite floral designs that capture and bring your vision to life. With their expertise, you can create a breathtaking floral display that becomes the centerpiece of your fall wedding, just like Lauren and Mark did at their unforgettable celebration at Shiraz Garden.
The attention to detail was palpable throughout the evening. Lauren and her amazing planner infused the wedding with a touch of individuality, symbolized by their choice to switch to Vans footwear—both stylish and comfortable. The deep, dark, moody florals that adorned the venue surpassed the couple's wildest dreams, adding a sense of enchantment to the atmosphere. One of the night's most memorable moments was when Lauren surprised everyone by changing into a stunning dark maroon cocktail dress, perfectly matching her gorgeous florals. This unexpected wardrobe change reflected her playful spirit and showcased her ability to keep things fun and exciting.
