Magic of The Serenity Garden

Experience the Magic - The Serenity Garden

Nestled in the charming town of Tyrone, NY, Denise Duby held dreams of operating her own greenhouse while navigating the complexities of the corporate world. As many can confirm, life is frequently riddled with challenges that can obstruct our journey. Our own fears, too, can sometimes threaten to suppress the fragile seeds of our dreams. Denise's daughter, Danielle Mills, inherited her mother's visionary spirit. Now married, Danielle shifted from her dynamic career as a professional photographer to devote herself to nurturing her children's dreams and embracing the joys of being a stay-at-home mom.


Ah, the wonders that blossom when a mother and daughter dream together! One longed for a greenhouse, while the other envisioned a wedding venue. Perhaps it’s the deep connection they share—the unique bond of mother and daughter—that has given rise to a truly enchanting creation over the past eighteen months.


The Serenity Garden offers a breathtaking country retreat, ideal for your next intimate gathering. Situated on 19 serene acres in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, this remarkable venue is designed for meaningful celebrations and unforgettable experiences, perfectly suited for guest lists of fifty or fewer.Imagine your ideal venue at The Serenity Garden. “We saw a need in our community for a smaller, distinctive option that differentiates itself from other venues. My mother has always dreamt of owning a greenhouse, while I envisioned a wedding venue that stayed with me. Now, with a newly constructed greenhouse adorned with lush greenery, expansive windows, a transparent roof, and a generous pavilion situated among stunning gardens, we’ve turned that vision into reality,” shared Danielle.


Whether you're planning an intimate wedding, a baby or bridal shower, a wellness retreat, a birthday celebration, a creative workshop, a corporate gathering, or a styled photo session, The Serenity Garden provides the perfect backdrop for your memorable event.


Now accepting reservations for the 2026 season and beyond, Denise and Danielle invite you to experience the enchantment of The Serenity Garden. They offer a variety of wedding packages, including the services of a one-day event coordinator. Complete décor packages are also available for those who wish to enhance their celebration. Additional options include an in-house photographer and a curated list of preferred vendors. If you're in search of the charm of a smaller wedding, look no further.


Beyond weddings, The Serenity Garden offers a remarkable backdrop for your upcoming private or corporate gathering. Unleash your creativity at Serenity Garden.


Denise and Danielle are excited to host The Greenhouse Collective Content Day for photographers on October 12th. Join The Serenity Garden and Aubrey Loquasto Photography for a day brimming with inspiration! If you’re a photographer keen to refine your skills and broaden your knowledge while collaborating with peers and enriching your portfolio with new content, this event is crafted just for you. You'll have the chance to network with fellow photographers and create lasting memories! Visit the website for further details.


If you're in search of a unique venue for your next special occasion that beautifully combines vintage charm with simple elegance and vibrant hues, I highly recommend reaching out to Denise or Danielle. The genuine connection between this mother-daughter team will help transform your vision into reality, adding that touch of magic you truly deserve.
