Capture the Paradise Feeling of a Destination Wedding at Hartley Botanica

From tropical to exotic to rustic, Hartley Botanica in Los Angeles has a garden setting for every outdoor wedding style. The family-run company has been growing beautiful gardens since 1971. And luckily for brides and grooms, they also happen to host some pretty spectacular weddings in their lush space.

Located in within Ventura County in Somis, California, Hartley Botanica has three diverse and elaborately landscaped outdoor spaces that make for enchanting garden wedding venues.

Think of Paliuli as a lush tropical paradise. Hosting up to 375 guests, this elaborate garden covers more than 2.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with 19 vine-covered archways, three aviaries and five waterfalls - not that we’re counting. Can you say photo op? Your Los Angeles wedding photographer will capture the most amazing shots here.

The Lotus Tea Garden is a serene garden oasis that hosts up to 100 guests. Honoring the traditional elements of Asian gardens, Lotus features hand-paved walkways, a moon door, tea room and walk-through waterfall.

Tucked into the vineyard covered hillsides of San Miguel is the rustic Hartley Farms.
The amphitheater seating arrangement can accommodate up to 300 guest. The best part? You’ll say, “I do” under a 200-year-old Live Oak! For the reception, follow a meandering path to an 8,000 square foot manicured lawn. Above the outdoor dance floor is the bandstand, built into the back of a 20-foot waterfall.

With wedding venues like these, who needs a honeymoon?
