Good to Know Details

  • Please note: the Winery and Secret Garden gift shop remain open to visitors during your celebration, and your event will take place in a designated section of the property. For exclusive use of the Secret Garden during normal business hours, please contact meghan@brysestate.com for more options.
  • Elopement/Intimate Wedding locations are outdoor settings with no indoor backup. If Brys Estate needs to cancel due to weather, you’re welcome to reschedule within the same season, subject to availability, or receive a refund of amounts paid, minus the applicable non-refundable booking fee. We encourage wedding parties to work with their reception venue to provide an alternate indoor ceremony location should weather conditions not cooperate.
