Strauss Island

Strauss Island at Elk Grove Park is an outdoor event venue set on a scenic island within Elk Grove Park in Elk Grove, California. Surrounded by a pond, mature willow trees, and walking paths, the venue offers a park-like setting well suited to wedding ceremonies, elopements, and outdoor celebrations. A white gazebo adjacent to a large willow tree and a pedestrian bridge provide natural focal points for ceremonies and photography. The island features a multi-level outdoor amphitheater with tiered seating, dressing rooms with individual doors and mirrors, chairs, electrical outlets, and adjacent parking. The venue accommodates up to 200 guests and can be rented independently for a ceremony or combined with the adjacent Elk Grove Park Pavilion to add a reception hall that seats up to 200 guests dining-style with a full catering kitchen, A/V equipment, and dance-ready hard-surface flooring.
