I cannot say enough good things about having my wedding at this venue. I wanted to find a venue that wasn't too
"country" looking and I loved what I found at Garrison Gardens. The venue alone is beautiful but also has the potential to take on a wide variety of styles depending on how you want to decorate. The grounds are well kept and densely wooded that give it a secluded feeling. The owners, Chuck and Karen, are so helpful. Karen has a great eye for decor and making everything come together beautifully. Chuck MCs the wedding and I had guests tell me how well everything flowed throughout the whole evening. I could not have been happier with the way my wedding day went. It was so easy and calm and the wedding went off without a hitch!
