A Garden Wedding of our Dreams!

Ashley and her team at Lillian Gardens were so incredibly helpful-from the moment we decided to get married at this venue until days after the wedding, this team was by our side the entire time.

Ashley, Stephanie, and Elaina personally made our wedding day a huge success. Ashley’s attention to every detail, thoughtfulness when discussing finances/budget, and experience in the industry made her support truly invaluable. Stephanie’s patience, attentiveness to me (the Bride), and sense of humor made our wedding day feel like the joyous and beautiful experience it was always meant to be. Elaina was a DREAM on the day of our wedding. She stood by my side every step of the way, made sure my champagne glass was full the entire night, and thanks to her I have everything I needed throughout the evening.

The food served on our wedding day is still something our friends and family bring up in conversation every time we see them. Every dish, quick bite, and detail was so thoughtfully planned and executed. I will be dreaming of the shrimp and grits, bruschetta, and the chicken skewers for the rest of my life!

Lillian Gardens always shines on it’s own, but the thoughtfulness and genuine love this team has for what they do makes this venue truly something special. I highly recommend this venue, but more importantly the staff that fills it, to any and everyone in the market for booking a venue for their special event(s).

Cannot speak highly enough of this venue and everyone that helps to make it happen.

We recently had my daughters wedding shower here and I cannot express to you how impressed not only myself, but everyone there was. From planning, timelines, food, drinks, music, services offered, and everything in between they walked us through it with kindness, professionalism, and knowledge.

Crystal, thank you so much for all of your input and getting everything together. Elizabeth, you kept everything running smoothly the day of and made sure we were all happy and had full bellies, and Michael, thank you for all of the wonderful drinks and history of this beautiful home. We are truly grateful for all of you and everyone that put in so much effort to make our daughters special day that much more cherished.

5 Star Rehearsal Dinner Venue!!

The best venue!!!!

I got married at Lillian gardens May 2025 and we had the best experience! I loved that you can opt in for an inclusive package that comes with a wedding coordinator and so many other perks! I was planning my wedding from out of state so this was an absolute lifesaver. Our coordinator Stephanie made sure everything moved along smoothly the entire process. Another part we loved is that Lillian Gardens hosts open houses where they have their preferred vendors set up and their couples can come and sample everything! There were about 3 vendors from each category that came and it helped making decisions so much easier and gave peace of mind that they were already vetted by the venue! Their in house catering made things so easy and the food was delicious. Our guests thought the venue was absolutely beautiful and it photographed amazingly! 10/10 recommend all around!

LGBT Garden Party Wedding

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and it’s all thanks to Lillian Gardens! From start to finish, everything was truly seamless. We chose their all-inclusive package, and it was the best decision we made. Every detail was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy our day.

The garden ceremony was absolutely stunning like something out of a fairytale and the reception with the DJ was an absolute blast. The venue itself is beautiful, full of charm, and every corner is picture-perfect.

Ashley, the owner and our coordinator, was incredible. She made the entire planning process stress-free and was there for us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and calm, confident presence made everything run smoothly. We truly felt cared for.

As a same-sex couple, it meant the world to us that Lillian Gardens is proudly LGBT-friendly. We felt completely welcomed, supported, and celebrated, which made the day that much more meaningful.

If you’re looking for a venue that is not only beautiful but also experienced, inclusive, and truly full-service, look no further than Lillian Gardens. We’re still glowing from our wedding day!

Magical Day

Lillian Gardens was the perfect venue for my daughter’s fairytale wedding! The venue package and vendor relationships made for very low stress planning and we were able to pull it off in 5 months to hit the May wedding date she was hoping for. The catering was delicious and our coordinator Elaina was attentive and ensured that it was the wedding of her dreams.
