Our wedding day an absolute dream.
We had our wedding at Iris Orangerie a couple of weekends ago, and honestly, we could not have made a better choice! Everything was impeccable - the venue, flowers, coordination, service, drinks, and food. We had guests from over 20 countries, and everyone agreed that the service was the best they had ever experienced at a wedding. All staff members were extremely attentive and polite, ensuring that everyone had everything they needed. We're really grateful to the entire team for making our wedding day an absolute dream.

Pricing/Offers

Luxury at Iris Orangerie is defined not by excess but by experience — by the way light filters through the glasshouse, by the scent of flowers in bloom, and by the seamless choreography of service that makes the day unfold effortlessly. Every wedding here is bespoke, yet the venue offers beautifully structured packages to guide your planning journey.

Wedding Packages begin with intimate celebrations for up to 80 guests, extending to grand gatherings of 300 with full access to the glasshouse, terrace, and Jewel Garden. Pricing varies by season, guest count, and chosen concept, yet every package includes exclusive venue hire, ceremony setup, and personalised coordination from the in-house planning team.

For couples seeking full immersion, The Signature Experience offers a complete floral and styling concept created by the Iris design studio, curated dining menus crafted by the resident chef, and elegant tableware and décor designed to harmonise with the venue’s natural aesthetic.

Midweek and winter weddings invite an element of quiet luxury, with exclusive seasonal offers and flexible arrangements for smaller guest lists. Each event still receives the same meticulous care and artistry that defines Iris Orangerie, only in a more intimate frame.

Additional services, including floral installations and entertainment, as well as private menu tastings and extended hire, can be tailored to your vision. The estate’s philosophy is simple: no two weddings should ever look or feel the same.

To receive a personalised proposal, couples are invited to share their guest numbers, date preference, and celebration style. The Iris team will then craft a bespoke quotation, ensuring that every element, from the ceremony to the final toast, reflects your story, your rhythm, and the timeless beauty of the Snagov Forest.

Dining

Dining at Iris Orangerie is an experience that celebrates nature, artistry, and refined taste. Every menu is carefully crafted to reflect the venue’s eco-inspired philosophy, featuring elegant, seasonal dishes deeply connected to the land.

The culinary team, led by a chef trained in both Romania and abroad, crafts dishes that showcase fresh, locally sourced, and high-quality natural ingredients. Each plate reflects balance, flavour, and creativity, turning every meal into a sensory journey.

Couples can collaborate with the chef to design bespoke wedding menus that align with their theme and style, whether it’s a fine dining experience, a relaxed garden reception, or a modern tasting menu. Presentation is key, and dishes are plated with precision and artistry, harmonising perfectly with the floral and design aesthetic of the celebration.

The venue’s terracotta bar adds a touch of warmth and sophistication, serving signature cocktails, fine wines, and locally inspired beverages. It’s the ideal spot for pre-dinner toasts or late-night celebrations beneath the glow of the glasshouse.

Dining here is more than a meal; it’s a curated moment that brings people together through flavour, beauty, and atmosphere. At Iris Orangerie, food becomes part of the story, natural, elegant, and unforgettable.

Venue Availability

At Iris Orangerie, time moves to nature’s rhythm. Each celebration is granted exclusive use of the estate, the glasshouse, the terrace, and the sweeping Jewel Garden, ensuring the entire sanctuary becomes yours for one unforgettable day: no interruptions, no overlaps, just your story unfolding beneath the forest canopy.

Availability follows the seasons. Spring brings soft blossom and light; summer offers long golden evenings and lush greenery; autumn glows with bronze leaves and candlelight; while winter transforms the glasshouse into a warm, ethereal haven. The venue is open all year, but weekends from May to October are often reserved 12 to 18 months in advance. Elegant midweek and winter dates offer greater flexibility.

Ceremonies may take place by the forest’s edge, in the Jewel Garden, or inside the glasshouse, a beautiful all-weather option where sunlight and candlelight intertwine. Couples can hold the venue provisionally before confirming with a booking deposit, after which the planning journey begins in the most thoughtful hands.

From the moment you arrive, every detail is carefully curated, including timings, flow, music, and lighting, all meticulously orchestrated to create a seamless experience from vows to the final dance. The in-house team coordinates each element with quiet precision, ensuring the atmosphere evolves naturally through the day.

For couples and close guests, seven private rooms offer a peaceful retreat, while over 150 parking spaces and private transfers ensure a comfortable stay from start to finish. Whether a grand summer affair or a candlelit winter gathering, Iris Orangerie opens its doors to only one celebration at a time, ensuring your wedding feels personal, poetic, and entirely your own.

These rooms are ideal for the couple, their immediate family, or the bridal party, providing privacy and convenience before and after the wedding celebration. Guests can enjoy peaceful walks through the garden pathways or quiet moments by the micro-delta, surrounded by the soothing rhythm of nature.
