Beautiful Venue

The venue was gorgeous and the events team was super helpful! We chose the farm to garden package and it really helped cut down on the stress of wedding planning, so much of our decor and details were taken care of! (It included ceremony seating, reception tables and seating, cocktail tables, set up tables [for food, gifts, cake, s’mores, etc], place settings, table runners, linens, draping of the ceremony arbor, cocktail space, and reception space, a beautiful Bar to use [we provided our own alcohol], use of a bridal sweet)

Rockledge Gardens reached out about two months before the wedding to schedule time to go over details, choose colors, and tie up any loose ends. Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and more for the budget we had 💗 the venue also lended a hand in creating beautiful photos!

The Most Perfect Day!

The staff and event space at Rockledge Gardens was outstanding! I highly recommend them for any event you are planning. Their staff was super friendly, quick to answer questions, and had amazing communication leading up to our wedding! The venue itself is beautiful with natural beauty with all the plants. The event space also has festoon lights and a fire pit which add an additional magical feeling to any evening event.

Our day was perfect and I can't thank Rockledge's Staff and our vendors enough for making it so special and seamless!

Beautiful wedding spot

My daughters wedding venue was forced to cancel only 19 hours before the ceremony due to flooding from hurricane Ian. Rockledge Gardens stepped up to save the day. The wonderful event coordinator worked with us to get us in to view the available space and get contracts out to us within a couple of short hours. The moment we walked into the Riley Room we knew we were in the right spot, The events coordinator was absolutely amazing! Everything was beyond wonderful. It was the perfect venue with stunning photo opportunities throughout the grounds to capture the couple’s special day. My daughters wedding was tiny, but the accommodations for larger weddings were stunning. I would highly recommend Rockledge Gardens as a wedding venue for anyone looking for the perfect garden wedding atmosphere.

The first, and the best, decision I made

When I first spotted this place online, I had a feeling this venue was the one. When I took the hubby, he immediately agreed. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous and well tended and gave our wedding the casual feeling we were looking for. Not being locked into their vendors made our wedding so much more affordable and really allowed us to customize.

Our day was exactly as we pictured, not a hair out of place, and the Rockledge team made that a reality. The two vendor coordinators we had were very attentive and together with our day-of coordinator, fixed a whole host of things that went wrong. They say something will always go wrong on your wedding day, but from our perspective, everything was absolutely perfect, because they took care of it.

If I planned a wedding again, there would be many things I did differently, but I would have picked this venue every time. Thank for Rockledge Gardens for the beautiful day.

Perfect day

Rockledge Gardens is a perfect place for a wedding. It’s a blank canvas so you can really create your dream wedding from the vendors YOU want to personal touches like a surprise ice cream truck pulling in vs the traditional wedding cake. The staff is flexible and open to new suggestions. Having yard games and a fire pit made the wedding very casual and family friendly just like we pictured. Thank you RG team!

Amazing experience - 10/10 recommend

Rockledge Gardens is incredible! Their facility is simply magical and you have access to the entire grounds for all the beautiful photo ops - secret and known - throughout. The staff is absolutely amazing. They were so attentive in the planning process and so flexible with our schedules and desires. They have a private wedding room available for your wedding party to enjoy throughout your event time and it is delightful. They even met with me about any possible concerns or questions I may have had before I booked with them and that was the main deciding factor for me - willing to meet even without a business contract but also that they were so helpful throughout the entire process. Seriously - best place for a wedding or reception!

Picturesque venue with amazing staff

The entire team with Rockledge Garden Weddings truly made a difference in my wedding day. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but planning during the uncertainty of a global pandemic is insanity. The girls went above and beyond to answer all of my thousands of emails, repeatedly calmed my fears, and helped guide me along the changing CDC guidelines. They’re also rapidly improving and adapting. I first toured the venue in Sept 2019, visited again in February 2020, and by the time I had my wedding in November there were beautiful features that weren’t there before. Despite living in Jacksonville, we are so happy we chose this venue and have our memories here.

Rockledge Gardens has been a special place in our area for as long as I can remember! It is made even more special now that they have added the event pavilion named for the founders of this wonderful place. When we had an opportunity to have our first styled shoot that expressed our personal style, we went to Rockledge Gardens. The location is breath taking! There is nothing else like it in our area. You owe it to yourselves to check out this lovely place.
