    PNW Elegance

    We are so happy that we had our wedding at Rock Creek Gardens. The venue is simply stunning. It gives elegance, warmth and intimacy, and beautifully manicured English/PNW garden vibes - all of which we could not wait to share with our guests. We also hired Amber as our coordinator through the venue, and she was amazing to work with. She was accommodating, kind, responsive, asked great questions, provided constructive feedback to our ideas, fully understood and delivered our vision, and most importantly to us, was inclusive and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. The same goes for the rest of the RCG staff, who were great each time we visited the venue. The day of our wedding (mid-September), we were even lucky enough to have a clear sunny day so that Mount Rainier was visible from the wedding party house and terrace where we had our cocktail hour.

    It was also convenient that RCG has bathrooms, tables, chairs, and a beautiful (and large) linen draped tent with chandeliers that you can use, along with a large parking lot for easy access for all of your guests. We would highly recommend considering RCG for your wedding venue, you will be happy you did.

    Storybook Wedding!

    We cannot recommend Rock Creek Gardens enough! This property is absolutely spectacular! We had the best weekend celebrating the marriage of our kids here in what will be remembered as one of the most wonderful events with our family and friends. If you're on the fence about the two day package just book it. Having this incredible property both days was just the best experience. We were able to enjoy family and friends and the bridal party loved the wedding house! Getting ready and being able to all be together the morning of the wedding in this darling house was just wonderful! We had so many people come up to us and comment how beautiful the property was and we wholeheartedly agree!! The staff was so helpful and we are so thankful to them for helping us give our children the Storybook wedding of their dreams! Rock Creek Gardens and their list of preferred vendors is the way to go if you want a dream wedding. We couldn't be more thankful to have chosen this location! The best weekend ever!! More than we could have ever hoped for! Thank you Rock Creek Gardens for making Katie & Tyler's wedding so memorable!💕

    Amazing venue!

    Rock Creek gardens is a beautiful hidden gem. Communication with staff was great- very easy to reach via email with any questions or concerns. The gardens were beautiful every time I visited and all my guests were very impressed with the venue. A Staff member was present during the whole wedding.

    10/10 highly recommend RCG for your wedding!

    Stunning wedding venue!

    We had the wedding of our dreams at Rock Creek Gardens in July 2021. The COVID pandemic was hard for everyone to navigate, but we came out the other side and were able to have a flawless event. We hired one of the coordinators at the Gardens and she was really great at meeting with us prior to the big day and walking through every little detail. I definitely recommend using one of their coordinators, as they know the venue and the logistics of the space so well. The space was beautiful and everyone was blown away!

    Breathe taking

    If you are looking for a garden setting for your wedding, you needn’t look any further. From the arbor with an amazing back drop of mature evergreens to the pond with a row boat to take photos to the reception area with chandeliers hanging from the draped ceiling. It’s a stunning venue and so worth the price.

    Informative and easy.

    From the moment my fiancé and I met with Gracie and Nicole, we were so impressed. They answered all of our questions and gave us great information. Our tour went well over the allotted time but they did not rush us.

    I have so many wonderful things to say about RCG! For me it was love at first sight the first time I saw the venue. I loved the pergola, all the chandeliers, and the beautiful landscape. I loved the bridal house! It has plenty of space upstairs for the girls to get ready as well as space downstairs that the guys could get ready if you wanted. Gracie and her team were always super quick at responding to our e-mails and always so patient with us. Mackenzie was our day of coordinator, and she was wonderful. It rained on our wedding day, and she was so flexible with me as we were trying to decide which lay out plan to go with for the ceremony. Overall we loved getting married at the gardens. Our only issue was the fact that we had asked before signing any paperwork that we wanted our dog to be apart of the ceremony. Everyone had said it was fine. We then moved forward with the wedding planning and continued to remind the team many times that we had our dog apart of the wedding, and all was well until the day before the wedding when they had mentioned that we had never signed the paperwork to have our dog there and he technically was not suppose to be there. It was very frustrating that we had made it very clear that we wanted our dog apart of the day and mentioned it numerous times, and 24 hours before the wedding we are getting this news. They ended up working with us so our dog could be apart of the day, but it was just news that a bride did not want to hear right before the wedding. We understand things happen and things get missed. It was just an stress that we did not need right before the big day. Overall though we absolutely loved the venue, and we would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit pricey, but I feel that the services that we received there were worth all of it. Definitely worth looking into.

    My husband and I got married at RCG on 7/14/18 and it was our fairy tale day!! This venue is awesome! After a very extensive search into wedding venues, we were left with either very high rates, too many vendor rules and/or minimums, and once we found RCG we knew this was the place! The landscape is impeccably maintained and GORGEOUS, the space is big enough so that once you have ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception it doesn't feel like you're all in one place. So many things included such as tables, double set chairs, byob option and flexibilty with vendors made it a lot easier to make our wedding OURS without being inside a box of which vendors you must use. Though they recommend some, you're still able to pick and choose (for most)! Our wedding was perfect, the staff helped us along the way whenever and however we needed, and our day of coordinator (which is included by the way! This is not common at most venues and you NEED a day of coordinator).. Mackenzie, made our day run as smooth as possible! We also had our rehearsal dinner here the night before and it was so nice to be on the property and enjoy the space even more. This venue is great, the staff is always very helpful and nice and does whatever they can to make your day a dream!! Highly recommend - we're still having people tell us how beautiful our wedding was!!

    I honestly can't describe how much I love this place. How well they took care of us and everything else! I was a little busy during the day, but with all their help and the beauty of this place everything was perfect. Even though it rained we were able to go under the tent for awhile and it looked all the more beautiful. Maybe after a year I'll be able to explain better why you should definitely choose this venue, but right now I'm still reeling from the day! I just wanted to say immediately how great they are and how beautiful the entire place is!!

    Both the venue and the Staffs are all amazing! going back reminiscing my wedding day it was absolutely gorgeous. Elise my wedding coordinator was so great! It was partly raining on the day of my wedding Elise handled all the vendors and situations professionally she did not panic instead she showed me a very positive attitude that everything is possible to make the wedding of my dreams a reality.

    I knew I wanted to get married here before I was even engaged! The moment I became engaged I called and set up a time to book the venue (over 2 years in advance!!) I primarily dealt with Gracie during the process and she was so kind and helpful! I attended the many open houses and got to see the venue improve over the 2 years (I didn't think it could get better but it did!) The gardens are beautifully maintained making it so you don't have to spend more of flowers or decorations-the venue speaks for itself!
    about a month before my wedding I got my day of coordinator Vickie. She was AMAZING! If you are getting married here I would recommend her if you can! She knows how the venue works, has plenty of experience and knows her stuff! She was able to keep our groomsmen in line-which is a job in itself! ;). My mom and maid of honor couldn't stop talking about her and how helpful she was when they were trying to clean up and check out at the end of the night!
    I would recommend Rock Creek Gardens to any bride and groom looking for a Venue!

    Rock Creek Gardens is incredible. The wedding we shot there this summer was run professionally and smoothly by April Runkel, the on site coordinator. We were inspired by the elegant getting ready room provided for the bride as well as all the water features, bridges, arches, trees, gardens and more on the grounds. We had a fabulous time and could shoot weddings there all summer long with all the beauty to be found there! I highly recommend you have your next event at Rock Creek Gardens!

    I am not going to lie, the price for this place was not cheap but it is worth every penny! The coordinators stay in touch with us and they are really great with helping us throughout the process. Plus, you don't have to do much decorating because the venue itself is magnificent, it literally took my breath away when we got to the entrance. We didn't even drive in yet and my sisters were in awe just like I was. Their bridal suite is pretty sweet too, makes us feel like hollywood stars! We booked with them and are just super excited for our big day!! If the men were loving it too, then you know it's perfect! :)

    Rock Creek gardens is without a doubt the best venue to have your wedding at in the Tacoma/puyallup area. I saw only 2 venues when planning my big day and I knew immediately that rock creek was the place for us. Even my fiancé was impressed and knew we had to have our wedding there. The ladies that work there are so sweet and caring and truly want your wedding day to be amazing. Rock creek gives you the option of three different caterers to use for your wedding day (A Grand Affair is delicious and who I chose) and they also have a decor and flower service if you choose to use it. I used the flowers and decor service and they absolutely saw the vision I had. I had tears in my eyes when I walked to the reception tent on my wedding day. Kerra and Gayle who put together the decor and flowers somehow saw my vision through the tons of emails I sent them. I honestly cannot express how great they are. This place is well worth the money if you want a premier venue. There is a play area for the children to enjoy and more than enough space for guests, a Photo Booth, candy bar, and whatever else you want to include. It is beautiful and classy. They also have a day of planner for you, I worked with Stefanie and she was perfect. Things ran so smoothly and she was great at being kind, but firm with a few groomsmen who were a little too excited for the wedding. She was professional and did everything she could to make me and my husband comfortable, constantly keeping us updated on things and grabbing us whatever or anything we needed. If you are thinking about having your wedding at Rock Creek all I can tell you is please do it. This place is well worth the money

    I cannot say enough on how wonderful not only the grounds are but the staff is amazing!!! My wedding planning process has been a breeze thanks to them. Everyone has been so helpful and kind. A big plus for us was how many options they provide at the venue itself, from tables and chairs to in house decor the options are endless and makes them incredibly affordable for all they offer. I would recommend Rock Creek to anyone and everyone!

    I cannot express how perfect of a venue Rock Greek Gardens is. My husband and I live in California so had to search pretty hard for a venue we liked for our Washington state wedding. The moment we saw pictures of Rock Creek Gardens, we fell in love. The venue is in a secluded garden atmosphere that is so intimate and romantic.

    Gracie, Kerra, and all of the wedding coordinators are so helpful and responsive and really care about each of their clients. My husband and I paid for our wedding ourselves and had a pretty limited budget, but Gracie and Kerra were both so flexible and helpful in coming up with ways as to how we could make our big day work.

    The garden itself is so beautiful- I highly suggest checking out the venue if you are considering getting married in Washington state. And the reception tent is just perfect for a party, no matter the size. All of our guests mentioned to us how beautiful the venue was. Rock Creek Gardens encompasses every aspect you could think of to make your big day perfect, stress-free, and beautiful. Thank you so much Gracie, Kerra, and everyone else at RCG!! Love, Mitra and Jaron

    We got married at Rock Creek on 8/31/2013 and the wedding was absolutely spectacular! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was!

    Working with the staff at Rock Creek was very easy and they were responsive and professional always. They had great ideas for decor and setup and definitely knew what they were doing.

    I really liked that they set us up with a week-of wedding coordinator. It made everything very painless and easy, especially the day of the wedding. I knew everything was going to get done and if anything needed to be changed or a decision made, I trusted her judgement.

    I would certainly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful location for a memorable wedding.

    Words could never adequately describe Rock Greek Gardens. Our wedding day was one of the most perfect days of the summer – gorgeous blue skies, a peak of Mt. Rainier overlooking our ceremony, and weather that was neither too hot or too cold. I visited RCG a number of times (6 in total) over a 10 month period and each and every time the venue was gorgeous; no matter the season, the space is truly a gem. If you’re interested in having an outdoor wedding event seriously consider Rock Creek Gardens. It’s right in the middle of Puyallup but it's off of the beaten path to lend to the secluded garden atmosphere of the venue.

    The RCG team (Gracie, the wedding coordinators, and the people who help set up/clean up) is very professional and great at what they do. Gracie and the coordinators respond to your needs quickly. I have to say something extra about Gracie because I feel like she went above and beyond to help my husband and I during the early stages, before I was set up with my wedding coordinator. My husband and I were genuinely happy to be married at RCG because Gracie was so kind, understanding, and flexible.

    The reception tent is awesome; as it is, with the piped, drape-like ceiling from which hangs giant lanterns, the tent is a bargain that feels like a million bucks. For small, additional feels an individual can extended the tent to include hundreds of guests and if you happen to throw an event on a day that turns rainy/windy you can add installations. The bridal suite is the perfect retreat for the bridal party and immediate family. Our wedding had several games for guests to play and become involved in and the layout of the space lend itself perfectly for this because we were able to have each game in a different area: on the patio and under the tent.

    We have received such great feedback about Rock Creek Gardens from many of our wedding guests. The worse part of our wedding day was that it had to end...I wish it could have lasted for days!!

    The gardens is a beautiful place. It is elegant but not too showy. It is versatile, yet maintains it's charming character. It is the perfect place to have a grand celebration!

    Very beautiful place! We worked mostly with Gracie and Vickie and they were on top of it for us. They always responded quickly and gave excellent service! I always recommend this place to anyone that's getting married. We had the most memorable experience of our life!

    Rock Creek Garden is simply gorgeous, from its outer beauty to the venue's services. My husband and I enjoyed having our wedding there and wouldn't change a thing. Many of our guests praised us for finding such a beautiful wedding venue.

    A beautiful venue for having your wedding outside. The place is spacious with gorgeous backgrounds of flowers and trees, green allies and fountains.
    Being a professional videographer for many years and filming a lot of weddings during my professional career, I need to say that this was one of the nicest places to work at, very warm and inviting.

    Rock Creak Gardens is a beautiful venue hidden in Puyallup. They were very helpful when we had questions and worked with us to clear anything concerns we had. The place is so beautiful that you really don't need to do much flower wise. The tent sets such a beautiful enchanting feel for the reception and there is even a little play ground area that the kids at the wedding took advantage of. Great place to get married.

    The staff at Rock Creek Gardens are amazing! Not only are they fun to work with but they are very detail orientated and attentive. Our wedding was unforgettable and I highly recommend this to anyone considering a garden wedding.

    Let me just start off saying that we loved this venue! From the first time we visited to the day of the wedding, Rock Creek Gardens was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and are great for pictures. My photographer said he wished all the places he went to were this easy to shoot. Gracie helped us through everything and was always there when I had a question. She is very easy to work with and very sweet. All my guests kept commenting about how beautiful it was there and couldn't believe that it was in Puyallup.

    I also used their wedding coordinator service & was so happy I did. For a small fee, I had Vicki White help me with everything. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. She was looking over everything and would grab us when we needed to do something. I would definitely recommend her. She is wonderful!

    The only problem I would say I had was with The Ram catering, which is now the exclusive caterer for Rock Creek. The new consultant from there was not as attentive as their original consultant who we set up our wedding with. Before the wedding, she met with Vicki (our coordinator) and Vicki gave her the diagram on how we wanted the reception area set up -- where tables should go etc. When I arrived at the tent on the wedding day, Vicki was a little flustered because they did not set up according to the plan. For me, it wasn't a big deal because I am easy going but if you're a person that cares about detail, you might make sure there is a clear understanding. The Ram also didn't put the right table cloths on the right tables - color wise -- and didn't look like they ordered enough for their tables as some of my tables were shorted. Again, I didn't worry too much but someone else might. The biggest concern I have about The Ram is that they were serving underage guests alcohol at the wedding. They gave my 16 year daughter alcohol until I went up to the bar and told them to stop. When I originally set up my contract with the 1st consultant, she told me that everyone would be ID'd. No one was ID'd at my wedding. Very big concern! But, if these problems with the new consultant weren't there, I would have been perfectly happy with The Ram. The food was absolutely wonderful. My guests raved about how good the food was and ate just about everything there.

    If you want a beautiful venue and have great people to help you with your wedding, definitely go with Rock Creek Gardens!

    We were absolutely thrilled with Rock Creek Gardens hosting our wedding/reception site! Gracie and her team were extremely responsive throughout the entire process leading up to the event. Any questions or concerns that we had could be quickly answered by email within a few hours (during normal business hours). The venue is gorgeous and isn't like any other place you've seen! I would highly recommend RCG for your wedding or event if you are looking for something truly unique that your guests will enjoy being apart of.

    This is a breathtakingly beautiful english garden setting. They also offer tent rentals and a bridal suite and a place for the the groom to get ready. They are so nice and helpful! I recommend this venue to everyone I know, please give them a call and check it out. The scenery speaks for itself, one look at the beautiful setting and you will be sold!

    I LOVED my wedding at Rock Creek Gardens. It was the perfect setting for the look I was going for. My husband and I did a Thursday evening wedding to save on costs (saved us $3000.00) and we were happy that we did.
    RGC is a great venue for couples who do not want to do a ton of decorating. They have almost everything that you need like chairs and tables so rentals are needed only for personal tastes. One thing I love is that they have enough chairs to cover both the ceremony and reception.
    Their staff was very responsive. Another reason we choose RCG was that they have in-house day of coordinators that they assign to you. We LOVED our coordinator. She was absolutely wonderful to work with.
    Outdoor weddings in Washington always concern me but thankfully RCG has a tent in case of rain.
    You can purchase sparklers for an exit through the venue and they handle the clean-up and everything. Totally worth the $50.
    They have preferred caterers and we went with Mama Stortini’s and LOVED the food.
    A few things to watch out for:
    Bring your own trash bags! You should probably just have a box of cleaning supplies because the venue doesn’t supply this type of stuff.
    RCG is proud of their venue as they should be and they may not allow you to do certain things. One thing we struggled with was during our ceremony we provided babysitting for children. We wanted them babysat inside the carriage house so that they would be contained and easier to watch. We were not told until 1 month before this wouldn’t be an option but thankfully they relented when the forecast predicted 104 degrees.
    The venue has drapery fabric for the arbor and it’s $250 to rent.
    We didn’t’ go with their preferred florist and I do wish that they had more than one option. My husband and I felt a pressured by the fact that their florist can get in earlier than if you hire someone different.
    All in all we are so happy with our choice of venues and would book them again!

    Everything was perfect! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful! They allowed us to stop by anytime we wanted to before the wedding, we were able to do our 'Save the date' photos there also! On the day of the wedding they were around and available for anything we needed!
    love rock creek gardens and everyone that worked with us!!

    Rock Creek Gardens is hands-down the best outdoor venue for a wedding in our area. Our wedding was absolutely wonderful and we still here compliments about it from those who attended. The moment you pull in to the property it feels like you've been escorted into a new world. We love working with all the staff and they made it easy to have everything ready for you, all in one location. I recommend RCG to everyone I know who is getting married or needs a great outdoor venue. If I could, I'd have a wedding every year there!

    Saturday night wedding

    Father of the bride here: Grounds were absolutely beautiful. Staff was very helpful and professional. East access for elderly and disabled adults. Playground was great to keep the children occupied before and after ceremony. Every attendee heaped praise on the staff and venue. Nice job Rock Creek Gardens. Would highly recommend a 10/10.

    Dream venue

    Rock Creek is astonishing on its own, with all the lights, chandeliers and dreamy landscaping! Our wedding day was exactly as we had wished it and the biggest piece of that was having the most beautiful venue!

    I had my wedding here on a rainy June day, but it was still beautiful! In fact, our pictures looked very "Washington." Stephanie was a great coordinator and quickly responded to all my requests and questions. The venue is so beautiful and I'm sure my guests appreciated the fact that the ceremony and reception were all in one spot. It is pricy, but the convenience and beauty of the venue were definitely worth it. Honestly, if you splurge on this venue and get a slightly cheaper photographer, your pictures will still look beautiful. If I could have my wedding all over again, I would definitely go back to Rock Creek!

    The venue is amazingly beautiful, the employees were all very helpful and whenever we had any questions about anything they were there to help out. I knew the second I showed up that was where I wanted my wedding and no where else would do it. Everything else was just icing on the cake.

    Rock creek gardens was an amazing venue. Gracie and her team were so nice and very helpful throughout the entire experience. The only issues we had was that one of my guests' car got broken into and the wedding coordinator I had waited until I approached her to call the police. Which in my opinion she should have called them immediately and had not waited for the bride to step in to handle it. And then the communication between the catering service and the venue should have been more clear as far as alcohol is concerned. I was told by the venue that only the catering service could provide alcohol for my guests. Not Myself or my guests could bring any alcohol on the premises. But the day of the wedding the catering service told me I could've brought my own alcohol as long as they were the ones to serve it. Small issues when put in perspective and we still had the most amazing day ever. All of my guests were ecstatic with the venue!

    This venue is absolutely incredible! We heard nothing but great things from our guests saying the venue was beautiful and a hidden gem. We could not agree with them more! Elise was our day of venue coordinator and even though I had my own wedding coordinator, Elise was super helpful and willing to answer questions. HIGHLY recommend Rock Creek to anyone!

    This venue is amazing! Beautiful, scenic, peaceful, relaxing and just the perfect first impression. This venue is one of the things we were most in love with. All of our guests were amazed by the gem found behind the forest and we received many compliments. The layout is nice and open. The play area for the kids was a life saver and just provided a good family vibe. Lots of magical photo opportunities and lots of space for people to mingle and relax. I would throw another party here just for the environment.

    While the venue was beautiful, the price was steep and those in charge could have been more attentive. Overall, I am glad to have had my wedding here, but I would have liked to have seen a little more responsiveness to my needs.

    Beautiful venue but lacked contract organization. Rehearsal was double booked, so we didn't actually rehearse in location wedding was to take place. Instead we were moved to a different location on the property which was a weeded area, and no compensation for the mistake was given. No A/C in main house for bridal party to get ready, so getting ready in 90 degree weather was miserable. Semi-flexible when it came to caterer, could only choose from a list of 3 caterers. The DJ they provided (at extra cost) wasn't very flexible when it came to time frame, meaning he had to play a certain amount of time, even if it meant all the guests had left already. The flowers and décor they provided (at extra cost) was amazing, the ceremony was beautiful, was just disappointed with the lack of organization and lack of services provided for the cost, although everyone I talked to were very friendly and professional.
