A Secret Garden is coming to The Hyde!

For the past 3 months, Kate has been thoughtfully elevating the Hyde Terrace into a European-inspired escape layered with architectural details, romantic greenery, and old-world charm.

New sage green trellis walls create depth and intimacy.
Custom X-detail railings bring a timeless European feel.
A painted diamond-pattern floor transforms the terrace beneath your feet.
Even the iconic arched windows were reimagined in soft sage green to tie the entire vision together.

Finished with oversized French planters and layered garden touches, the Hyde Terrace is becoming something entirely new — a hidden garden designed for cocktail hours, outdoor ceremonies, candlelight, and unforgettable summer nights.

Join us for an Open House on Wednesday, May 27th from 5:30–7:30 PM to experience the transformation in person. All are welcome!

At St. James 1868, Morgan and Sean’s day was wrapped in florals from start to finish—soft, romantic, and effortlessly timeless.🤍

Blooms poured through every corner of the Hyde: framing the ceremony windows, lining the aisle, overflowing across reception tables, and anchoring the fireplace in a lush, garden-like glow. Nothing was left untouched—just a seamless floral story woven through the entire space.

Patty and Eric’s wedding in the Hyde felt so natural and full of heart.🤍 Soft spring light, touches of gold, and a ceremony that was intimate in the best way. The bridesmaids each wore their own style in the same color palette, and it couldn’t have come together more beautifully.

The Hyde was filled with wine, meaningful toasts, and a dance floor that stayed full all night. Just a really joyful, genuine kind of day ✨
