The gardens
Grounds kept for gathering, all year round
Ebony Gardens sits along the Meru–Maua Road, a short drive from Meru town, on grounds that have been shaped and kept for gathering. Mature trees, cut lawns and open sky — with the Nyambene range in the distance on a clear day.

The spaces
Three settings that work on their own or as one day
Most events use all three — ceremony in one, dinner in another, and the terrace for everything that needs shelter and a plug socket.
Up to 600 seated
The Main Lawn
The largest of the three — open lawn framed by mature trees, with room for a marquee, a stage and a dance floor without anything feeling crowded.
80 – 150 guests
The Grove
Shaded and quieter, under the canopy. Suited to ceremonies, cocktail hours and intimate dinners under festoon lighting.
40 – 90 guests
The Terrace
A paved, level space that works for briefings, breakaway sessions and corporate days that need shelter and power close by.
Facilities
The unglamorous things that decide whether a day runs well

- Mains power with generator backup
- Water supply and a service area for caterers
- Bridal and changing suite
- Level, all-weather access for suppliers and deliveries
