About this space

Outdoor Space is a private outdoor area in Pilsen Secret Garden defined by an intimate, secluded courtyard layout.

Design: The outdoor area presents an enclosed courtyard whose brick walls are clothed in ivy and layered planting, producing a compact, green-walled setting. The ground combines lawn and stone paving around a simple central aisle and a small raised platform at one end.

Features: The space contains a small raised platform suitable for a ceremony or speaker and a central aisle that accommodates flexible seating arrangements. The space provides a built-in PA system, venue Wi‑Fi, and permission to play your own music or hire a DJ. The space includes step‑free guest access for easier arrival and circulation.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an intimate, relaxed outdoor seated ceremony or a casual standing reception in a secluded garden setting.

What guests say: The space is magical and transportive in tone, offering a felt sense of being removed from the surrounding city. The venue team manages events capably and supports hands‑on planning.
