Reception and Ceremony Spaces

Verde on Cherokee can be broken up into 4 main sections and, depending on what layout or package you book with them, these sections can be customized to your needs! The sections are: The Showroom/Studio, The Kitchen, The Patio, and The Greenhouse

THE PATIO

When you walk up to the venue, a side entrance will take you directly back to the open patio and greenhouse. If you travel past the covered walkway, the space opens up to an absolutely gorgeous patio. Surrounded by warm brick, lush greens (in the summer), and privacy fencing, the patio section of Verde on Cherokee is a lovely area for an outdoor ceremony or an open-air reception and is suitable for up to 50 guests. It is open-air and uncovered.

THE GREENHOUSE

The Greenhouse is arguably the main, and most striking, feature of Verde on Cherokee. It’s impeccably styled with a blend of modern and vintage furnishings, thriving plants, exposed brick, and it’s bathed in stunning light! The Greenhouse is also surprisingly spacious and can host a fair number of guests inside. You can opt for a specific layout with the Verde on Cherokee team so that the Greenhouse is set up best for your needs. According to their site, Verde states that the greenhouse can seat up to 40 guests. The Greenhouse is covered but it’s only heated.

THE SHOWROOM + STUDIO

The Showroom and The Studio are two separate, but adjacent, spaces in the main building of the venue. The Showroom is a beautiful retail space that includes furniture that your guests are welcome to lounge on. The Studio is a lovely, inviting office-type area that also includes various seating options for guests. These two spaces are an additional flat fee to rent and are recommended for weddings on the larger side of Verde’s guest count, and required for weddings over 70 people. These areas are heated and cooled and can offer a much-needed break from seasonal warmth or cold.

THE KITCHEN

The Kitchen is situated between the showroom and the greenhouse and includes a fridge, a large utility sink, bartops , and a small seating area. This is a great place for the bride and groom to hide away between the ceremony or reception, as it is included along with the Greenhouse and Patio in the venue’s “Standard Rental Area” layout.
