Gamble Gardens is a Palo Alto wedding venue that is steeped in charm and history. This private estate became public in 1985 and features lush gardens, a picturesque fountain area and traditional architecture throughout it’s buildings.

The bride and her party got ready in the carriage house, light streaming in through the window panes. Weddings here are typically smaller given the size of the grounds for the ceremony and reception space. They also only allow acoustic music which adds to the ethereal and romantic vibe.

Lush greenery wrapped around our couple’s chuppah, blending seamlessly into the surroundings. A string duo played their favorite songs as they walked down the aisle and tears soon followed during their vows.

After the ceremony guests were treated to more musical delights from the string duo. Their reception was well shaded under the surrounding trees and the bubbly was popped to toast the newlyweds.

The day ended at golden hour where the sun peeked beautifully through the garden. There are several locations that are lovely for portraits which we are happy to guide you to finding. If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, reach out to chat about your vision! contact@iannivy.com
