    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.

    I've seen a few other reviewers comment that if you visit the Gardens, you don't need to go any further. And I think that's right... If you talk to the Gardens and like what you see, that's exactly what you get. My wife and I did tour another place after we visited the Gardens, and their was simply no comparison. If you're like us and are not committed to DIYing I don't think there's a better inclusive venue in the area. The Gardens staff are responsive and helpful throughout the preparatory project, and truly being able to do almost everything through them was amazing. They also really showed their commitment as the ceremony date approached. We had to change officiants at the last minute due to illness, and our MC was in from out of town. They absolutely worked with us to get them up to speed and ensure everything went smoothly. I'd recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the area.

    Look no further! If you’re anything like us, The Gardens will be the only venue you need to tour! It was truly love at first sight when we toured The Gardens. It checked all of our boxes so we had no doubts in our mind. Over the course of the two years we spent planning our wedding, Amanda and The Gardens staff were always easy to reach and happy to answer all questions. We appreciated the "can do" attitude of everyone at The Gardens, and their help with making all of our requests seem like no big deal. From our mobile photobooth inside of a VW Microbus, to our 6-piece jazz band during cocktail hour, to our cigar bar and lawn games - the staff let us utilize what felt like every inch of the property and were happy to make all the arrangements needed to accommodate us. You can tell that the maintenance of The Gardens is a labor of love for Johan and all involved - the restored 1800s Cream City chapel and schoolhouse as well as the garden space bursting with colorful flowers are a testament to the love and effort that goes into keeping this historical property beautiful. We got endless compliments on our venue selection. Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning of a setting it was. The Gardens takes care of both catering and bar, and boy, do they do it well! We got lots of compliments on the food, some even saying it was the best wedding food they ever had! The bar staff (especially Julian!) were accommodating to our ideas for super boujie signature drinks and mocktails, which were happily consumed by our guests. We will forever be singing the praises of this venue and every wonderful person who makes The Gardens what it is. We had such a smoothly run, absolutely perfect wedding day and we will always be grateful for that! THANK YOU to The Gardens Wedding Center for making our dreams come true!!!
