Incredible Value for an Elegant Experience

This venue was incredible. Having had two previous sisters get married before me, I had high expectations for what I was looking for, and Farmington Gardens exceeded them all. I was hoping for a fairytale vibe, and Farmington Gardens fit the bill perfectly. The ballroom was large and elegant, but it ALSO had a romantic greenhouse room and GORGEOUS, verdant grounds. It was everything I could have hoped for aesthetically and it came at such a value! It was priced very reasonably compared to other places. The staff were highly professional and the cake was DELICIOUS. I have tried every single anniversary to replicate our wedding cake and have been unsuccessful. It was that good. I highly recommend them all-around.

Excellent Service

I just had my 30th Birthday party at Farmington Gardens. Omgggg, where do I start. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful. The staff is very attentive and responsive. Especially my event coordinator Alissa. Honestly, she was amazing. I literally didn't have an once of worry bc I knew Alissa would take care of everything. She help bring my vision to light but also went above and beyond the call of duty. My theme was pretty in pink. They added extra pink details like at the food station and the bar to fit in with my theme. I brought table decorations and described what I wanted and how I wanted everything to look. Alissa and the staff executed everything perfectly. Finally, the food was amazing 😋. My Haitian family is not easy to win over when it comes to food. They were all happy with the food. Everyone is still talking about the Nashville chicken and waffles. I highly recommend using this venue.

Perfect Experience

From start to finish, planning our wedding with Farmington Gardens was a dream. Courtney was helpful and attentive and went above and beyond for us. The food and cake tastings were incredible. On the day of our wedding, everything look and went exactly how we wanted. It is the perfect location and “vibe”. We can’t recommend this venue enough!

Absolutely beautiful venue, EXCELLENT service!

From day one of seeing Farmington Gardens, we fell in love. But a beautiful setting is just the beginning. Our coordinator, Ashley, was the true star of the show. With a warm and friendly professionalism, she helped us through every little detail of our event, helping us customize and personalize anything we wanted, from our menu to the table layout and setup, she made it all happen! On the day of the rehearsal and wedding, she flawlessly worked with our other vendors to guide us and our guests in effortless transitions between a stunning ceremony, a lively cocktail hour and absolute PARTY of a reception!

Special mention that the food is FANTASTIC. I love to cook and eat and have high expectations for dining out and Farmington Gardens DELIVERED. Rave reviews and an excellent selection. Could not have picked a more perfect place for our day! Thank you!

Perfect venue!

We had a wonderful experience working with Farmington Gardens from start to finish! We had to postpone our wedding celebration a year due to COVID but had no issues doing so. Ashley, our coordinator, helped to make the wedding planning process so easy & organized which was so appreciated! Every detail was thought of and fully executed on our big day! All of our guests raved about the food which we had so much fun choosing at the tasting event months before. The grounds are absolutely stunning with bright, blooming flowers everywhere. We loved having the option to give guests the outdoor space to sit around the fire pit or play lawn games. One of the most unique parts of this place is the stunning greenhouse which was used for cocktail hour & was also the location of the bar. The staff on the day of our wedding were so upbeat and fun (they even joined us on the dance floor)! I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew that Ashley had it all under control! We would highly recommend checking out Farmington Gardens to host your special day!

Stunning venue and staff!

I cannot say enough good things about Farmington Gardens - this venue seriously made our wedding. Even though it poured all day and we weren't able to be out on the gorgeous grounds, nobody cared because the indoor amenities are flawless as well. Courtney is a GODDESS - truly I would not have gotten through any of this without her. From the first meeting through the last song of the wedding night, everything was executed perfectly. The food was SO good, cocktail hour in the greenhouse is stunning, and the beams in the ballroom are picture perfect. If Farmington Gardens has your date open, book it.

The BEST Place to Celebrate

This place is such a hidden gem! Tucked away, once on the grounds, you feel like you're in your own magical world. Being the only wedding for the whole day we got full access to all the grounds. Which are STUNNING. Our pictures are incredible because of how beautiful the landscaping is. It is the perfect combo of rustic chic. We originally were supposed to get married in 2020 and well that didn't happen. FG was seriously the best. They worked with us and let us hold multiple dates. They were accommodating, flexible and responsive. We never felt unsure of what was going to happen to the business and they always kept us in the loop. Choosing our 2021 date was even easier. We got married May 7, 2021 and it was nothing but amazing and unforgettable. We got married in the greenhouse which is magical. Then you walk into the rustic ballroom with stunning chandeliers. The ballroom is 100% what you want to make of it. The whole thing was a vibe. The food was phenomenal. Every single staff member was incredible. So attentive and so on it. I could never thank Ashley our coordinator enough. Being able to trust her to just run the show allowed me to completely enjoy my day! I can't recommend this place enough and I hope to have my baby shower in the greenhouse someday!

Above and Beyond Amazing

Where to even start? Planning a wedding during COVID-19 was very difficult, but Ashley from Farmington Gardens went above and beyond to help us out in every way. She was responsive and accommodating each step of the way.
The day of the wedding Ashley and her staff were amazing. The day of flowed flawlessly. Besides the normal day to day glitches, her staff took one guest to the hospital (twice!), went to CVS to get superglue to fix another guests shoes, and help execute the surprise arrival of my cousin from deployment. I wish I could get married all over again just to have it at Farmington Gardens. If you are looking for a venue where you are stress-free and relaxed the entire day, with amazing food and service look no further!

Get married here!!!

My husband and I looked at around 10 venues before we saw Farmington Gardens. The day after we met with Courtney I woke up and said, "I think I want to get married there!" Everyone tells you about the feeling you get with the dress but I had that same feeling with Farmington Gardens! The venue is absolutely beautiful; there are so many flowers and decorations that are already included that we did not need to add much more to the ambiance. I DIYed a lot of things (welcome sign, seating chart, centerpieces with many parts) and they were SO amazing at putting everything together perfectly. Courtney was incredible to work with and the meetings we had with her prior to the day of were so thorough and helpful in assuaging any fears or stress I had about the wedding. They have a wide range of food and it was all very tasty - many of our guests told us it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had. I really could go on and on about how great everyone and everything at Farmington Gardens is but I highly recommend taking a look for yourself!
