    New owners, amazing!

    Evanshire Gardens has new management and all I have to say is, they are amazing! Extremely helpful, tentative, organized & easy to work with! They have made the venue look exquisite, it is hard to believe it's tucked inside Ceres, CA! Cozy and classy views from every single corner! Definitely recommend 100%

    Hilda and Margarita are amazing to work with. Hilda exceeded all my expectations and did an amazing job with the decorating. My lucky number is 13 and she was able to put a 13 designed flower arrangement in the gazebo, 13 candle holders on my bridal party table, 13 mason jars with baby's breathe and other such things. I loved everything about it! I would definitely recommend using Evanshire Gardens for venue, floral and food... oh and the food! The food was absolutely amazing. You get do a tasting of everything on the menu so you can decide what you would like. We did two entrees, best options ever.

    Margarita and her staff did an excellent job! Their grounds are beautiful and well-kept. They went out of their way to make prom special for our students. They supplied us with delicious light refreshments, and even surprised us with quesadillas this year. I believe we have used their facility 4 or 5 times for prom, and have always been very pleased. Evanshire should definitely be at the top of your list for any special event.

    Evanshire Gardens provided me with the fairy tale wedding of my dreams! Hilda and Margarita are such sweethearts, and they made sure that every detail was perfect. From the gorgeous flowers, to the delicious food, I just couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. My wedding guests were so impressed with everything. I heard quite a few say that my wedding was the most lovely wedding they had ever attended. I highly recommend this venue for your event. Wonderful staff, gorgeous surroundings, and superb professionalism. This bride could not be happier!

    I had an amazing outdoor wedding at this place. It was perfect. The people that I worked with were amazing. They were very helpful and they did everything to make my wedding day perfect. They took a lot of the wedding planning stress off of me. They took care of all of my ceremony décor and they set up the reception. All I had to bring were the centerpieces. Everything has a price though but the cost of the wedding was reasonable. I had an amazing wedding and I wouldn't change a thing. I loved it and all of my guests loved it!

    We found Evanshire on the internet... We wanted to have an outdoor wedding that was local for all of our friends and family to attend... We knew that having it on the beach or somewhere exotic meant no attendees... We knew in January when we went to visit the site that this was the spot... We wanted a simple yet beautiful wedding and what we got was everything we wanted and more..

    Our wedding was dressy casual... we wanted our guest to be comfortable... we advised Margarita (wedding coordinator) and Hilda (florist extraordinaire) that we wanted a Hawaiian wedding and the suggestions that they made were exactly what we had in mind... My guests were absolutely amazed at how beautiful the ceremony site was but it was the reception area that blew their minds... I tried to stay away from the upgraded flatware/glasses etc... but what I did do was upgrade the linens... amazing...

    We highly recommend Evanshire for anyone with the love of the outdoors... A spring or fall (ours was Oct 3rd) wedding is highly recommended as we all know how hot it can get in the central valley... You will get WAY more then you expect with this team...

    I highly recommend this venue. The staff are extremely helpful, they provided us with referrals to other vendors along with useful tips and advice. They were very accommodating and met all of our "special requests". And they are truly a full service venue, they made the day as comfortable as possible for us. On the day of our wedding, I had absolutely nothing to do but be a bride! I felt completely calm and collected because I knew that everything was being taken care of. Not to mention the beautiful location, I still get compliments on how great it was. And the pictures turned out amazing with great natural lighting and a beautiful landscape. I can't say enough about this place. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely go there, again, and again.

    I could not recommend Evanshire Gardens enough. The facility is beautiful and the staff is so wonderful. They pay attention to every little detail and make sure your day is perfect. I do not have one complaint for this venue. Not ONE! My day was perfect thanks to them and if I had to do it all over again I would not change one thing.

    The venue is beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional. Sometimes it takes a while to get a response from emails but it's not more than a few days. If you need immediate response time a call is the best way to go about it. They return calls rather quickly and they leave messages if they miss you. They have a food tasting and tried to work with us the best way they could around our theme. Overall it was a positive experience.

    I am very happy with mine and my husbands choice of a wedding venue! Evanshire gardens is a very beautifully kept garden venue perfect for the wedding we imagined! The old and tall trees shade the venue nicely and provide protection from wind, a must for an outdoor venue. The coordinator and the florist work very well together and they set up the place exactly how I wanted even putting together a beautiful photo display, they built it and set it up, I only provided the pictures! They were able to understand the exact vibe I was going for and added sweet little touches that made everything come together! The food was also wonderful and the tasting event they offed in March helped us choose what items we liked and it gave us peace knowing that the the food was delicious! The only issue I had was that I gave them the timeline my Groom and I wanted to go by and I gave the same ones out to the photographers but the DJ was unable to make our rehearsal so I gave the extra to the coordinator. When the actual day came it seemed as though the only ones who were following the timeline were the photographers and thankfully they took it upon themselves to help out the DJ and and save the party! Don't count on them to run the timing for your reception would be my advise but you can count on them to provide a beautiful venue and GREAT food! One last word, they are so kind and pleasant to work with, very sweet and helpful! Thanks!!

    Very nice people to work with. Lovely gardens. Excellent choice for an outdoor wedding. Flowers were beautiful.
    Could have been more organized with rehearsal.
    Would have been helpful to have a printed guideline of where and when to deliver items to the site AND how to arrange table seating & decor.

    We went here to hear about the venue. It is absolutely gorgeous and so many options open. Very clean and very professional. The only problem is how pricey it is compared to other places we have looked at.
    Service was excellent though and they are very helpful and it felt as though they would make the big day so much smoother and stress free as much as they could

    Tanya Sarhad-- F in Professionalism

    We booked Evanshire in July 2023– Nada was the manager at the time. In March, I reached out to Nada via text. I received a response from a lady named Tanya saying she was the manager. She stated she didn’t have my contact information. She wanted to meet, so we agreed to meet. Rehearsal- we went in early to drop off items. We went through with Tanya the items to be iced, as she told us they would provide the ice for the drinks & make sure the table was set up for our rehearsal, as well as the buckets and flutes we provided. She confirmed everything would be ready to go when we returned in the afternoon. I asked her if she could also turn the fountain on, which she said yes. When we arrived at 3:30, nothing was set up- no waters on ice, no champagne on ice- nothing. A groundskeeper was on site, while Tanya was no where to be found. The fountain was also off, & the pool water was stagnate & dirty. Tanya arrived after 4 pm. l went into her office around 4:25 to pay for an umbrella. She said, ”How much longer? The rehearsal is only supposed to be an hour. I have to go. Sam can lock up.” We had spent an entire hour of what should have been rehearsing, setting up ice & trying to get the things she promised set up. I told her it should be no later than 5:30. I also asked what time she would be in for the wedding, as there were vendors arriving. She said she would be in by 11:30. Wedding day- Two vendors arrived a little before 12, & the gate was locked. Tanya arrived 3 minutes before 12, let them in, & went straight to her office without instructing them where to go. They were two separate vendors that did not know each other, but said they felt she was rude. I arrived at 12:05 & again, nothing was done; drinks were not on ice, and the flowers were supposed to be removed from the arch. Also, the gate for the vendors and disabled family members was locked, so it caused delay. After the ceremony, we wrapped up photos as our limo awaited. My sister asked Tanya when we could come back the next day & pick up our belongings- Tanya said it had to be out now. Mind you, it was 5:15 & finishing photos. She said that she would throw away everything left if it wasn’t cleared by 5:30. Not once did she specify a cleanup time, nor did our contract state that. I asked her why I couldn’t come back and pick things up, as she never communicated about item removal, & it wasn’t in our contract. She said that my sister “disrespected” her, so “no.” I let her know I could be back early before the event and can get everything out— she said, “No I don’t want you to come back. Your sister rubbed me the wrong way.” I said she had nerve saying that, because from the ice not being prepared that day & the day before, to the not communicating effectively with myself & vendors, it has been a bad experience. I also let her know she did not try to communicate effectively about getting items out of the suites or the aisle decor, & nothing was in our contract about it. At that point, my family were all rushing to get items loaded. She said, “I did the ice as a favor to you, I didn’t have to do any of that!” I said, “Why didn’t you just tell me to bring ice when I asked?” She then said, “You know what, it’s your special day & I don’t want to ruin it, but you’re going to start turning me into an a**h*le.” She then stated that we need to “get our sh** & go.” I let her know I was recording her. She began saying she was now calling the police and to get off her property.
