The bridal quarters are also amazing and they work so well with the vendors to help make sure everything is set up the way you want it while also being able to help with recommendations along the way! Absolutely recommend Dara’s Garden and Dara and Kate were great!!

I can not say enough about the care and attention that Dara and Kate give to every bride. They are also great to work with from a vendor viewpoint. On top of that their venue is so lovely with several varied locations for ceremony, reception and photo opportunities.
