What is The Garden Venue in Stony Plain?

An outdoor wedding and event venue on the edge of Stony Plain, just outside Spruce Grove, 30 minutes west of Edmonton. Operated by Good Land Farms, run by Maria and Darren since 2021. No imported aesthetic, no artificial styling. It looks like Alberta, and leans into that completely.

The four spaces at The Garden Venue capacities and what each one does

1. The Circle – outdoor ceremony, up to 200 guests

Open grass clearing surrounded by wildflowers. No ceiling, no permanent structure. Circular guest arrangement puts the couple at the centre. Sunsets are beautiful here.

2. The Marquis Tent – Reception space, up to 200 guests

White tent, neutral canvas, capacity 200. Weather protection without enclosure. The garden is always visible from inside. Custom lighting transforms the space after dusk

Fully sheltered, up to 75 guests. Floor-to-ceiling window frames the garden outside. Primary event space and formal weather contingency. Fills both roles with genuine grace. Only downside is it doesn’t have a ventilation at the time of writing this blog.
