The spaces

Four spaces that flow into each other

You hire the whole 4,000 sqm, not one corner of it. Woodland, lawn, gazebo and pavilions, a few steps apart, all yours on the same day. Everything is outdoors, and the pavilions and the gazebo are roofed, so rain spoils nothing.

60 guests

The woodland

The woodland

The corner with the oldest trees on the property. Shade all day, and in the afternoon the light comes through the branches — this is where the photographs happen, without anyone asking. It is also the coolest spot on the site in August, and in the evening the ambient lighting keeps it open well after sunset.

60 guests

The lawn

The lawn

The open ground at the centre of the site, level and mown. Room for the ceremony, for afternoon games, or for one long table under open sky. The grass is kept all season, not just on the day.

20 guests

The gazebo

The gazebo

The timber structure at the edge of the woodland, roofed and open on the sides. This is where the barbecue lives, with its own tools and chopping boards, and next to it the refrigerated display that keeps food and drink cold all day.

60 guests

The pavilions

The pavilions

Two adjoining covered structures with the tables and chairs already set out for every guest. The roof keeps the rain off, the sides stay open, and you rearrange the furniture however suits you. This is where you eat.

Why Roots194

01

Completely yours

One event per day. The venue is yours from morning to morning.

02

Close, but far away

Just outside Bucharest, without the noise of it.

03

Built, not dressed up

The trees, the grass and the timber are already there. Styling stays a choice, not a repair job.

04

Your suppliers, your call

Bring your own food, drink and people. No imposed suppliers, no corkage.

What you find here

The place is ready. The day is yours to make.

You take the venue turnkey and move at your own pace, with no imposed schedule and nobody hovering. The infrastructure is installed and waiting; what goes on the tables is entirely your call.

01

The whole grounds, yours alone

4,000 sqm with woodland, lawn, gazebo and pavilions, parking on site, washrooms and internet. One event per day, so you share nothing with anyone. Cleaning is part of the rate, before and after.

02

The gazebo barbecue, fully equipped

The barbecue comes with its own tools and chopping boards, and beside it a refrigerated display keeps everything cold all day. Bring the food and the drink without hauling cool boxes around.

03

Tables and chairs, already set

Two roofed pavilions with the furniture in place for every guest. Rearrange it however and whenever you like. You pay nothing extra for furniture and wait for nobody to deliver it.

04

Light and sound, well into the evening

Ambient lighting across the grounds, so the evening does not end with the daylight, and a sound system for your playlist. It is built for background music: loud enough to be heard, not loud enough to bury the conversation at the table.

Packages

Clear rates, no surprises

However many of you there are, you get all 4,000 sqm. We do not split the venue into zones and we never run two events at once — it simply is not laid out that way. You pay per guest, so a small group does not pay what a large one does. The rates below are the Monday to Thursday ones; Friday to Sunday costs more, and April and October are 25% less.

FAQ

What everyone asks

How many guests fit?

Up to 60 guests. This is not a venue for large gatherings and we never wanted it to be: at 60 people everyone fits at the same table under the pavilions, leaving the lawn and woodland free. For groups under 20, the gazebo alone is plenty to sit in — but the grounds are still all yours, woodland and lawn included. We do not hire out zones separately.

Can I bring my own caterer?

Yes, anyone you like, and we charge nothing extra for it. They will find the equipped barbecue in the gazebo, the refrigerated display that keeps everything cold, and the tables already set out under the pavilions. If you do not have someone yet, we will share a list we genuinely recommend — a suggestion, not a condition.

Is there accommodation?

Not on site. We do have arrangements with three guesthouses five to ten minutes away by car, which hold rooms for our events. We put you in touch once your date is confirmed.

What happens if it rains?

The whole venue is outdoors, but both pavilions and the gazebo are roofed, and the tables sit under cover anyway. The rain plan is effectively already built: there is nothing to move and no decisions to make in the rain. The sides stay open, so driving rain will reach the edges — worth knowing if you are looking at a date in early spring or late autumn.
