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!

Best day ever!

My wife and I had our wedding at Bartram's Garden catered by Jamie Hollander, and everything was perfect. Our planner, Kelly, helped us navigate the overwhelming process of planning our reception and ceremony, and steered us through tough choices with her years of experience. She was always easy to get ahold of, and worked hard to make sure our needs were met. Our day-of coordinator, Niyah, helped us pull off the ceremony and reception without any hiccups, and eliminated the stress of the big day. We could not have done it without her. The food was delicious. Our guests raved about the food and service at our wedding, and we can't recommend JH enough.

A dream venue!

Bartram’s Garden was everything I wanted and more. The property was very well maintained and Kate was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the planning process.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
