10/10 Experience at a Beautiful Venue!

When we were touring wedding venues, it was game over for every other venue once we saw the Gardens! Right away, it's obvious that this is an amazing and dreamy property. Guests told us all night that our wedding had the most beautiful, unique venue. Of course the venue is beautiful, but the team we worked with was just as great. Every employee we interacted with made us feel supported in the wedding planning process and just showered with love and joy on our big day. Throughout the planning process, the team answered all sorts of questions I had beyond the standard questions and they were always so sweet, thoughtful, and helpful. I so deeply appreciated that the staff always listened to our ideas and made us feel welcome. The people were kind, the food was delicious, the drinks were awesome, the scenery was awesome- we couldn't have asked for more.
Another thing we loved about this venue is that everything is on site and easy to manage- no need to rent an extra space for getting ready suites, no need to worry about a "plan b" in case of weather because the historical chapel is as GORGEOUS as the outdoor spaces. Truly, I don't think there'd be a way to have a less than stunning event here, the whole space is just phenomenal and we will stay obsessed for life.

Beautiful Venue with Amazing Staff

Would highly recommend this venue! We had our wedding here on 9/16. The family and staff were amazing from start to finish! They were truly a pleasure to work with. The communication was great throughout the whole process. Whenever we had a question, they were very responsive and helpful. On the wedding day, they really helped everything go smoothly. We received so many compliments on the venue and food from guests. The way The Gardens transformed at night was just beautiful! You can tell they put a lot of time and love into the venue. We could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

A Wedding Day to Never Forget

We had our fairytale wedding at the gardens, and it could not have been more magical! Amanda and Johan are truly, remarkable people. They helped our wedding day be perfect and run smoothly. They maintained great communication and were very genuine. We continue to have guests rave about the venue and the food. Their Italian mac and cheese is out of this world!! We have already recommended the Gardens to others and could not be happier. Still in wedding bliss:)
