The Secret House of Ivy

Just had my wedding here on 10/31/25. Karina, Luisa, Lily, and everyone part of the staff was AMAZING and super helpful. They made the day super special and easy. The venue itself is literally so gorgeous. I also did the birria and carnitas for dinner and everyone loved it! Ask for the green salsa, so good! I would definitely recommend this venue. 10/10 experience.
