Awarded Best of Zola
Maidenwood was the absolute BEST venue we could have ever dreamed of for our wedding. Where to even begin!? Steve, Jana, and the rest of the crew are just the nicest people you will ever meet, and they made the entire process so easy from the first info call to the last song. We felt assured we were in good hands the entire time, and the confidence continued throughout the day as they seamlessly followed the timeline and made sure everything was exactly what we had planned. In addition to the amazing people, the property and buildings are truly breathtaking. It’s the perfect blend of outdoorsy, elegant, adventurous, modern, and cozy. It’s clear how much thought and effort they have put in to already create an amazing backdrop that we didn’t feel stressed with decorating at all. Every space speaks for itself and emphasizes the beautiful nature that is all around. With that, we really appreciated the freedom to make the spaces our own and include unique elements that felt true to who we are as a couple. We got to be creative with vendors, photo spots, ceremony locations, getting ready, and other optional amenities that contributed to it feeling like our own property for the day! We also highly recommend Steve’s business Trustworthy Music for a DJ. Steve added so much energy and kept our guests on the dance floor the entire time. We also highly recommend Jana for a day of coordinator. She is so knowledgeable, a blast to work with, and went above and beyond checking on us and our guests throughout the wedding. We truly could go on and on about how grateful we are to have found Maidenwood for our day (and have been for the past 3 weeks!). Thank you for everything!! - Lauren & Kevin

Our outdoor wedding ceremony was in early September; a gorgeous 70 day! The flowers in the front garden were in full bloom. Vibrant purples, pinks, yellows, greens, white made for ZERO decoration and savings galore! Almost 6 years later, my guests still tell me that my wedding was the most fun and relaxing one they'd ever been to. I'm so thankful for Garten Marketplatz and the relaxing atmosphere.
