WDW Venue Showcase: Shiraz Garden
Here is some history:
“Since purchasing this property in 2008, our family has shared this space with friends, family, and colleagues over the years, seeing numerous weddings, retreats, reunions, dinner parties, and fishing trips along the Colorado. More and more couples asked us about hosting their weddings at Shiraz Garden from Austin, Houston, and beyond. What an honor to be considered as the backdrop to someone’s wedding day. We are excited to open as an official event space for private events to share the magic of this property and be part of these meaningful days.”
