A very special welcome at Daalarna Garden
Arriving at a venue like the Daalarna Garden in Szentendre is always a great joy and excitement; however, when the event is a romantic wedding, the excitement can literally reach its peak! It’s a wonderful idea and a stunning opportunity to welcome guests at the high entrance of Daalarna Garden, where lovely little trickling streams and beautiful walkways lined with plane trees will accompany your guests on their way. Once at the main part of the building, guests can enter the wedding venue through a beautiful wrought-iron gateway, which in itself gives the special atmosphere that every couple wish to create on their special day.
Welcome party by the pool
Daalarna Garden’s 6 × 21 metres widened pool is located next to the main building of the estate, in the perfect setting overlooking the one-hectare lavender field and Szentendre’s magnificent vineyard, Kő-Hill. You can swim, enjoy the pool, and play ball games at any time during a slow wedding or destination wedding, but the pool is also a great spot for welcome drinks and parties! These services provide a great opportunity for guests to gather, meet and chat before the wedding ceremony – all in a very informal and relaxed, yet elegant and exclusive setting.
Daalarna Garden’s pool also has a 400 m² covered sun terrace with a professional open-air kitchen and cocktail bar
Preparation Room at Daalarna Garden Stone House
While guests arrive at Daalarna Garden and greet each other at the poolside welcome party, the bride (the groom, the bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, etc.) so the most important people involved in the wedding can prepare for the ceremony in the greatest comfort. The owners of Daalarna Garden have designed the living room and the preparation room in Daalarna Garden’s Stone House to ensure that the final moments before the wedding ceremony are spent in the greatest tranquillity and harmony. Needless to say, this room is not only comfortable but also looks exquisite!
“When I was designing the preparation room, I focused on creating the most beautiful inner wedding photo location possible, following the latest wedding photography trends. There are no distracting objects, furniture or colours, just a clean elegance that perfects the whole room. I think it’s a great place to take beautiful, intimate photos of the bride and her mother, or even of the bridesmaids!” – says Anita Benes, one of the owners.
The most popular spot for grooms is the exclusive cocktail bar in the Barn at Daalarna Garden.
Exclusive cocktail bar in the Barn of Daalarna Garden
The exclusive cocktail bar in the Barn of Daalarna Garden is certainly the perfect place for anyone to relax, unwind and have casual chats and conversations with friends because it’s absolutely great to have a drink here! The exclusive cocktail bar, which easily outshines the bars of five-star luxury hotels, is equipped with very comfortable, butter-soft bar stools, special mood lighting and the latest high-end technology! In fact, the bar itself is so professional that it has everything a professional cocktail maker or mixer needs. It has its own fridges, ice machines, sinks, drinks coolers and many other professional extras inside the counter itself, so there’s everything to ensure a fantastic bar experience for everyone!
Wedding ceremony with lavender field in the background
Daalarna Garden has the most beautiful wedding settings where you can hold your ceremony or the reception itself in a stunning setting. However, the most stunning outdoor venue is certainly the one-acre lavender field just outside the entrance of the estate! The lavender field is in bloom from late May until the end of July, when the lavender flowers are in their full glory, and the romantic sunken garden in the middle of the field is also in its radiant splendour. Smaller gatherings and intimate ceremonies can be hosted here, surrounded by a lovely fountain. For larger ceremonies and dinners, the Atrium of Daalarna Garden is the perfect place to enjoy the magnificent lavender field in the background. Not everyone knows it, but this wedding venue is chosen by many people just to say “I do” to the love of their life in such a beautiful environment!
Daalarna Garden’s landscape evokes Provence and Tuscany.
Creative photoshoot by the pool and in the English Garden
After the wedding ceremony, but before the wedding party, you can arrange a wedding photography session at Daalarna Garden in Szentendre, where you can find the most beautiful locations! The wedding venue near Budapest offers the most beautiful wedding photography opportunities. And that’s because there are so many different indoor and outdoor spaces that almost any style of wedding photo session can be done here! The variety of locations here also promises a great range of wedding pictures as well! So, if we may suggest, don’t just organise a 10-minute mini shoot here, but a full hour one. There’s so many great photo opportunities here, it would be a shame to miss out on this wonderful opportunity to have the pictures of a lifetime!
The gastronomic courtyard next to Daalarna Garden’s Conservatory
While you and your husband are at an amazing wedding photography location in Daalarna Garden, the wedding guests won’t be bored either! A great way to spend your time is to install a Gastronomic Courtyard beside the buildings of Daalarna Garden. The small outdoor-indoor area next to the Conservatory, for example, is connected and provides a great opportunity for the guests to have a bite to eat, chat and get to know each other before the main wedding dinner.
Food trucks can also be held here, all in a way that feels elegantly relaxed.
At one of the weddings in Daalarna Garden, for example, Hungary’s best pizza baker, Szabi, set up his oven and dazzled the guests with his delicious, freshly baked bites! But you can also have an ice cream stand, a pancake buffet, and even mini burgers or hot dogs! The best part is that you can also combine the Gastronomic Courtyard with the exclusive indoor cocktail bar, so you can really complete the wedding experience for the wedding guests while you and your husband have your wedding photoshoot!
The Conservatory is the perfect four-season dinner venue
The indoor and outdoor areas of Daalarna Garden have been designed to be enjoyable all year round, every month of the year. This means that whether it is summer or winter, the wedding ceremony, the dinner, the evening dance, and all the other activities can be organised outside on the estate as well as in the indoor units, in one of the fabulous spaces of the estate. This option is not available at most wedding and event venues, as many locations have limited spaces available. Also, many venues’ technical staff are not prepared to host a huge summer wedding indoors, and in winter, it is usually challenging to hold ceremonies outside. At Daalarna Garden, however, this is not the situation!
Dinners here are usually held in the Conservatory, which can be expanded or reduced in size to suit your personal taste. Also, it has transparent tent windows and sides, which can be raised and lowered in the summer and winter. However, even if they are fully lowered, you won’t get a bad, closed-in feeling because the transparent tent windows give you a perfect view of the English Garden! The situation is similar to that of the atrium and the barn next to the Conservatory, where the sides, although covered, can be separated or opened up from the inside. Daalarna Garden’s interior units and dining areas are, therefore, fully customisable, whatever the time of year!
Professional cuisine for delicious meals
The fabulous dishes served in the Conservatory (or anywhere on the property of Daalarna Garden) are not only available from outside suppliers of the venue. Any Michelin-starred chef can prepare your favourite dish in the professional kitchen here! This is a huge advantage over many wedding venues, a real speciality and a unique feature, as most places do not offer the couple any control over the way the food is served. However, here, Daalarna Garden’s trusted catering service partners have all the facilities to prepare, heat, serve and present the menu for the wedding dinner in a professional environment, in quality refrigerated rooms, in the most modern and safe conditions.
Daalarna Garden is full of unique spaces
Daalarna Garden in Szentendre is not only the perfect place for wedding ceremonies and receptions but also for intimate and special events that will bond the newlyweds, their closest family and friends forever. These programmes are best enjoyed within the concept of a three-day slow wedding or destination wedding but can be arranged at any time if required, as long as they are coordinated with the staff of Daalarna Garden.
Two of the most popular slow wedding programme ideas are swimming in the pool and barbecuing or bacon roasting, which is the perfect way for the couple and guests to relax! Daalarna Garden has a special in-ground fire pit next to the English Garden and wildflower meadow, where you can enjoy a BBQ in the ultimate safety, but the outdoor kitchen next to the pool is also a great place to enjoy a barbecue. These small activities can create intimate conversations, memories and, in 10-20-30 years’ time, everlasting memories that everyone will look back on with pleasure.
