Wonderful Experience!
We had a wonderful experience at Gardencourt! Trish gave us excellent advice and went well beyond what we expected as far as accommodating our wishes and needs. Most of our crowd were out of towners and found it so convenient to walk to Caldwell Chapel for the ceremony and then to Gardencourt for the reception. The caterers provided excellent food, drinks, and service. Our group filled Laws Lodge and enjoyed the open areas for visiting and playing board games. We were thrilled with everything and found the staff very helpful, friendly, and concerned that things went well for us. Thank you to all! Glenn Ridley

This was a perfect venue. Our guests loved the flow of the evening and how easy it was for them to go straight from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and into the reception. We were worried that the different rooms would make our guests feel separated or distant from the events, but it actually made everything feel super cozy and intimate. I would highly recommend this venue.

Classical Choice loves playing for weddings at Gardencourt. Lovely Victorian mansion and beautiful garden for ceremonies. This venue is so great, that it was the location for my daughters wedding.
Gardencourt is probably the most classic wedding venue over the last four three decades in the entire area. It has beautiful outdoor settings for both large and small weddings, a grand porch area for after wedding cocktails, and then four ground level rooms of various sizes, but all elegant. We love the chance to perform here!
Gardencourt is not only gorgeous inside and out, but the staff is amazing to work with! We have done several events there, and Lisa and her team are always so helpful. Lisa takes each event personally and offers advice and insight that is unique to each client. You will not be disappointed when choosing Gardencourt as your venue!
