We loved Bartram's!

Kelly, Chris and the whole Jamie Hollander team were excellent throughout planning and the day of our wedding. Kelly was prompt, professional and helpful with all communication and decision making leading up to the wedding. Kelly and Chris both went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during the wedding weekend as well. Along with the rest of the staff, they took stress out of the event and clearly cared very much about our experience. They take a lot of pride in their work and we are very grateful for them.

The venue was also fantastic. We got incredibly lucky with weather in the middle of August (mid 70s), but even if it had been hotter, we would have had a great time with relief from the heat under the tent. If Bartram's is within your budget, I would highly recommend it!

Amazing venue and staff!

Kelly, Chris, and the rest of the Jamie Hollander team at Bartram’s Garden were amazing! Kelly was responsive to all of our questions and requests leading up to the big day. Chris provided thoughtful gestures to us throughout the whole day such as bringing us passed appetizers and carting us at the end of the night to our limo. The whole team was reliable and professional - many thanks!

Best Experience!!

We had the most magical day we could hope for at Bartram’s Garden in early June for our wedding of about 160 people! We really wanted to have the wedding outside and found Bartram’s as a beautiful outdoor oasis next to everything in the city. From our first visit in the winter, when all the plants were dormant, we could tell how beautiful it would be. We met with Kelly who walked us through everything and was immediately so warm and informed of any question we had. From there, we worked with Kelly to create our menu with Jamie Hollander Catering & Events, which was unreal! We had eight passed appetizers, from mini cheesesteakes to mini sushi tuna cones and the main meals were unbelievably good. Everyone commented later on how incredible everything tasted and how beautiful the spread was. Before the big day, Kelly and her staff kept close contact with us as well as our vendors and we never felt we had to worry about any miscommunication! On the wedding day, we met with Chris, who handled the whole day making sure everything went smoothly and beautifully and had the best energy! Bartram’s Garden itself was in full June swing with greenery everywhere, lush trees and colorful garden flowers around every corner. There was so much space from the gardens to the tent and the lighting was perfect - simple and dreamy. The bartending staff and everyone on site were friendly, fun and professional. Overall, it was the best choice we could make - the food was delicious, the scenery was gorgeous and relaxed, the staff was attentive as can be, planning was on point and not one guest had any issues. It rocked! 10/10 experience.
