I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Mica and Ralph's wedding at Hartley Botanica, and I must say, it was an experience beyond compare. From the moment I set foot on the grounds, I was enveloped in an aura of botanical bliss and familial warmth.

Hartley Botanica isn't just a wedding venue; it's a testament to the Hartley family's decades-long love affair with horticulture and hospitality. As a family-run business since 1971, they've cultivated not only stunning gardens but also a legacy of love and dedication to their craft.

The venue itself is a masterpiece of natural beauty, with meticulously landscaped grounds that provide the perfect backdrop for any couple's love story. From the tranquil Paliuli Gardens to the enchanting Lotus Tea Garden, every corner of Hartley Botanica exudes elegance and charm.

But what truly sets Hartley Botanica apart is the personal touch that comes from being a family-owned business. Richard and Kate Hartley, along with their children and grandchildren, pour their hearts and souls into every aspect of the venue, ensuring that every wedding is a truly unforgettable experience.

As a photographer and videographer, I couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting to capture Mica and Ralph's love story. The abundance of natural light, lush greenery, and stunning water features provided endless opportunities for breathtaking shots, while the Hartley family's hospitality made me feel like part of the family.

I wholeheartedly recommend Hartley Botanica to any couple seeking a magical, unforgettable wedding experience. Whether you're drawn to the rustic charm of Hartley Farms or the timeless elegance of the Lotus Tea Garden, you'll find that Hartley Botanica is more than just a venue—it's a sanctuary of love and beauty.

Thank you, Hartley Botanica, for providing the perfect backdrop for Mica and Ralph's special day. It was an honor and a privilege to capture their love amidst the splendor of your gardens.

Our wedding at Hartley Botanica was absolutely PERFECT. It was the most magical day, and we know that's in part because we chose Hartley for our venue. The venue itself isn't just stunning, it's a sensory delight. It's lush with vegetation and flowers, it smells amazing from all the jasmine, and you can hear water trickling in the background. We loved that there were so many different spaces too, from the gorgeous ceremony, the lotus garden for cocktail hour, the rose garden, to the reception area. Even though we got married in July, we never once felt too hot because the venue is so shaded with all the trees and vegetation.

Every single staff member was warm, helpful, and easy to work with. The on-site coordinator Karen was particularly helpful and communicative. We weren't nervous about anything leading up to the day because it was clear we were in good hands. Karen and the rest of the staff at Hartley made it very easy for us to prepare and plan, and they orchestrated the day smoothly--it's clear they have a ton of experience and they know how to organize a wedding.

We also received tons of compliments about Hartley from our guests, who gushed about the beautiful space, the delicious food, etc.

We are so grateful to everyone at Hartley Botanica who helped to make our wedding day unforgettable. We wouldn't change a thing!
