The owners of Seaview Resort asked Varenhorst to design a 25,000 SF landscaped area for outdoor weddings, events and other resort-related parties.  Our design concept for the outdoor facility is a series of outdoor “rooms” in which event sub-functions can occur simultaneously, either as a collective group or in some isolation from each other using carefully placed trees, shrub and flower borders, lawn areas, stepped and ramped pathways, gently curving walls, and a fountain.  The result is a series of beautiful vignettes for the occupants, while still allowing easy accommodation of the resort staff’s needs.  The back-of-house building is wrapped in a vine-draped pergola and an outdoor bar is available for all events.  Above all, our design ensures year-round beauty and interest with plantings, comfortable walking areas, seating areas, and lighting that look good no matter the setting.
