The Venue at Tryphena's Garden Reviews

Tryphena's has a beautiful atmosphere that can be seen at every corner of the property. The venue owners take great care of the property and spray for bugs and have a variety of plants and florals that ensure there is always something blooming as the seasons change. We were able to meet at the venue for a tour and ask and have all our questions answered. We were even provided a list of vendors that are trusted and have experience from being at the venue before. The layout is also great for flexibility. We used the outdoor spaces for our ceremony and mocktail hour and the indoor space for our reception. The large fountain was perfect for the ceremony and sounded peaceful as the water flowed through it. The venue owners are super helpful and ensure that the layout and set up is perfect. The privacy and space for the bridal and groom suite is perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. There's easy access for the vendors to park and set up as well. We were looking for the perfect venue that offered the Tuscan garden look (although the rustic barn look is beautiful it's just not our style) and Tryphena's definitely delivered. We were able to have the perfect ceremony where our guests could walk through the gardens to the fountain draped in florals and then enjoyed being in the courtyard for mocktail hour where guests could still be in the gardens while enjoying food and drinks. Guests were able to easily transition into the reception space lit by the three beautiful chandeliers and wall sconces that are able to be dimmed to make the lighting perfect depending on the time of day. The gorgeous french doors that surrounded the reception space offered views to the gardens and added to the European aesthetic. We had our sweetheart table set up in front of the arched french doors that has greenery vines outlining the shape of it. The other side of the doors has a grand terrace covered with greenery that's perfect for photos. We had around 100 guests that fit perfectly in the space and included the buffet set up, cake table and gift table. On the other side of the reception space has a string light patio with plants and views of the gardens that was perfect for dancing. All our guests fit comfortably in the space and our dj was able to set up on the grass in front of the space. There's also a bar table on the other end of the patio that would be perfect for those who include drinks but we used it to set up our sparkler exit supplies which turned out great. Our guests were able to line up on both sides of the walkway from the string light patio that leads to the parking lot and light the way for our exit. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have been happier with the experience.

I loved working with Clara. She made everything easy and shameless. I didn't always know exactly what I wanted and some things didn't go quite according to plan, but she was so helpful and kind about everything. The venue was beautiful. We got so many wonderful pictures with trees, the lake, and the gazebo. Yes the sun sets right behind the lake (in October), and it's magical. We got our fairytale wedding here.

This venue is the best venue in middle Georgia. Not only is it gorgeous and it gives you many locations on the property to chose from for your ceremony, the photo ops are endless! Clara is was wonderful to work with and gives you lots of suggestions according to her great knowledge of the venue. She is also very responsive and gets back with you quickly. Book this venue, you will be soooooo happy you did!!

I can’t say enough good things about this venue! It is so beautifully maintained and picturesque. Clara was super attentive and easy to contact throughout the entire planning process. The entire venue is beautiful on its own, so I needed minimal decor (which helped save SO much money). The day of my wedding, I asked for a change to the seating arrangement to be made and they were so accommodating and made it happen! 10/10 would recommend this gorgeous venue.

Clara and Mathew were amazing! My daughter and son in law had a perfect day!

My husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Venue at Tryphena's Garden April 2021. The overall experience was AMAZING and I’m beyond grateful to have found the venue. We instantly fell in love with the view of the lake, beautiful gardens, the sense of privacy and knew it was the perfect location for us. Mrs. Clara is a such sweetheart, professional and was very accommodating with long distance planning. Thank you so much for making our day beautiful.

Overall, she makes your day run smooth! The venue is so romantic and unique, and Clara makes the experience even better!

My wedding was perfect & Clara is absolutely amazing!!
We live an hour from the venue, and still had 185 guest drive to fort valley! I had so many compliments about how beautiful our venue was!
Clara takes care of so much and made the day of process so easy

I had my wedding(Outside) and reception(inside) here February 22 , 2020 and it was Amazing😍😍😍. The venue is clean and the owner is so friendly and helpful. Every step of the was she was there. Her attitude and spirit is beautiful!! You can tell she hAs a passion for what she does. We did the decor and the food ourselves to save a few extra coins! Everything turned out beautifully.

Clara has been very helpful during this process.

Tryphena’s Garden is THE place to get married if you’re looking for the perfect venue. It made my big day a fairytale and was truly breathtaking. Clara, the venue owner was very professional, understanding, and accommodating. I also would recommend her as your day of coordinator if you want your day to go by smoothly. She made it easy and I (the bride) did not have to worry or stress about anything. This is the place for outdoor weddings. Book them

First off Claire was awesome! The venture was perfect for a June wedding! If you haven’t decided on a place please contact them!! You won’t regret it!

The Venue at Tryphenas Garden is a beautiful and amazing location, nestled on the most amazing land surround by florals, greenery and a beautiful lake. It was absolutely a dream to have my wedding there. But not only is the venue amazing, it is run by a beautiful person, Clara Bixler. Clara is wonderful. Clara was extremely accommodating and made sure all of our needs were met. Clara provided us with all information that was needed to make our day special. We couldn't have asked for better customer service.

Beautiful venue speaks for itself! Clara Bixler was the icing on the cake helping everything run smoothly.

I can't say enough good things about The Venue at Tryphena's Garden! The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Clara is the best and really knows her stuff. Our day was better than I could have ever dreamed!!

It was exactly what we expected. Clara was direct when it came to our value and expectations of the venue. The wedding planning process went very smoothly because of this. The garden itself was immaculate and our guest enjoyed the scenery. The price for the venue was very reasonable, chairs, tables, and lines were included. Our day was absolutely perfect and we would chose Tryphena’s all over again.

Our daughter, Laura Beth, and her husband, Isaac, were married at The Venue at Tryphena’s Garden on March 9, 2019 on a glorious sunshine-filled day! I cannot adequately describe the absolute beauty of that day. Azaleas were budding as was the cherry blossom tree. The sunlight literally danced on the lake. The sounds of the running stream and fountains, birds...God blessed this day! This is literally the most beautiful place for a wedding! The Tuscan building where we held the reception was also beautiful and timeless. We could have been there in similar surroundings hundreds of years ago with the wood beams, beautiful doors and evergreen garden right outside. Yet the caterers’ kitchen, electrical set-up, accommodation for our live band was thoroughly modern. Clara was so very kind and made every step of the process so much easier. This was a true celebration of a forever love as evidenced by a pair of geese (who mate for life) landing on the lake during the ceremony. A beautiful venue for a beautiful beginning. 💞
We highly recommend that you make your own wedding dreams come true at this perfect location.

I can’t recommend Clara and The Venue at Tryphena’s Garden enough! Our wedding was better than my husband and I could’ve dreamed. Clara made the whole experience so perfect and she helped bring our vision to life. We didn’t have a single worry on our wedding day, and the venue itself has so many options for the ceremony site and beautiful photos. Not sure what we would have done without Clara!

Words cannot adequately describe the beauty of this venue! There is nowhere else in Middle Georgia that even comes close. The gardens and the indoor areas are straight out of an Italian villa. Plenty of room for even large weddings. The best of all is Clara! She did so much to make everything perfect for my daughter's wedding. She jumped right in and made things so much easier on us to get things ready and she has great ideas! We also hired her as our wedding coordinator....one of the best decisions we made! She is such a sweet lady. Highly recommend! My daughter had her dream wedding!

The venue at tryphenas garden was the picture perfect place to have our wedding. I can't picture anywhere else more perfect! EVERYTHING was amazing.


One suggestion.... be sure to hire Clara as your wedding coordinator!!!!

Clara is absolutely awesome to work with. Very laid back and down to earth and reassuring in this stressful process.

We had such a great experience with Tryphean's. Clara was very accommodating on anything we needed. I would highly recommend The Venue at Tryphean's Garden to any Bride that is looking for a garden wedding!!
Thank you Clara for a wonderful weekend!!

Very very satisfied with this venue and Clara's services. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding! Everything went as planned. I would recommend this venue and Clara to anyone. We have had so many compliments on everything!

This was absolutely the most perfect place to have my wedding!!! The day was absolutely perfect! Clara was so easy to work with and just went above and beyond to make everything perfect!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! You won't be disappointed!!! Literally was the Best Day Ever!!
