About US
Welcome to The Backyard Venue
Where craftsmanship meets heartfelt hospitality
The Backyard Venue was born in May 2022 from the vision of Flavio and Katy Peres, owners, builders, designers, decorators, and operators of the venue. What began as a passion project has blossomed into a premier destination for couples and families looking for an intimate, high-quality setting for their most cherished milestones.
We believe that every event deserves a personal touch, and as a family-owned business, we are on the grounds every day ensuring your experience is nothing short of perfect.
The Barn
With nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of enclosed space, our elegant barn offers a storybook setting for your celebration. Sliding wooden doors open to a warm welcome, while a striking backdrop wall frames your sweetheart table in timeless beauty. Sunlight pours through large windows by day, and at night, soft string lights wrap the space in a romantic glow. A fully equipped warming kitchen with a convenient pass-through window keeps the celebration flowing, perfect for your ceremony, reception, and the unforgettable moment you share your first dance.
The Pavilion
Our spacious 1,200 sq. ft. pavilion is perfect for gatherings of all kinds, from a lively cocktail hour to an intimate family reunion. The built-in bar, featuring elegant granite countertops, a large cooler, and a convenient sink, adds both style and functionality to your celebration. Overhead, rustic wood beams and softly glowing string lights create a warm, inviting ambiance as the sun sets. Just steps away, cozy fire pits draw guests together to share stories and laughter. Surrounded by lovely views in every direction, the pavilion offers the ideal setting for everything from a relaxed evening get-together to a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
The Garden
Surrounded by blooming roses and tasteful rock gardens, the turf area offers a stunning setting for an outdoor ceremony. A wrought-iron gate entrance, twinkling string lights, and the gentle glow of a lighted pondless waterfall create a romantic backdrop for your vows. White padded folding chairs provide comfortable seating and a crisp contrast against the lush green turf. After the ceremony, The Backyard Venue staff can quickly remove the chairs, transforming the space into a fun yard-game area for your guests to enjoy.
Bridal Cottage
Our charming bridal cottage is thoughtfully decorated with you in mind, offering everything you need to feel pampered and prepared for your big day, from the stunning kitchen to the glamorous getting-ready spaces. The bride’s private room features a full-length mirror, a plush navy velvet couch, a makeup desk with a round gold-trimmed mirror, and a dazzling chandelier, perfect for those special pre-ceremony moments. For the bridal party, a separate room offers a long white quartz countertop with dusty rose velvet stools, window seating, and a dress rack, creating a stylish and comfortable space for everyone to get ready together.
A Note from Ellen
The Backyard venue is perfect! Absolutely stunning and Katy just adds to how great this place is. My son’s wedding could not have been more perfect.
