I cannot imagine having such a good experience for such a reasonable price anywhere else. Michelle took the stress out of everything. I was at my wit's end trying to find a beautiful but reasonably priced venue. I was on the verge of cancelling the wedding altogether and just eloping...then I toured Tennessee Gardens and had a consultation with Michelle (the owner and day-of coordinator). I feel very fortunate to have found Tennessee Gardens and that I looked past it's slightly dated website. I cannot promote this venue and Michelle enough.

Not only is the venue itself the most reasonable pricing you will get in all of SoCal, but their catering options cannot be beat. You do not have to use their catering however, no one will beat their prices. Everywhere else is charging $150+ a person for chicken, while Tennessee Gardens had Prim Rib options for $30 a person (as of April 2024). We went with the Fiesta Venue which was 2 types of tacos, cheese enchiladas, beans, rice, salad, and toppings and it was less than $20 a person and was delicious. The cake is also included with price of the venue and it was wonderful. Tennessee Gardens is attached to Michelle's Bakery, which is where the wedding cake comes from. When I was researching venues, I saw that many "all inclusive venues" in the area will actually get the wedding cake from Michelle’s, and someone you know probably had their special event cake from them! Our guests raved about the cake and with good reason, it is to die for (no matter the flavor).

One of the best parts is that, you do not need to set up or break down a single thing- Michelle handles it all. You just bring in the decorations you want with instructions (an inspo pics) on how you want it, and bring in the alcohol and drink menu, and they handle everything else. They even give you information for a DJ they partner with regularly, and have options for a minister.

This venue is truly gorgeous and has a surprising amount of parking. The highlight of the venue is the the waterfall and the lawn (astro-turf that looks very nice and will not make it muddy if it rains) however, Tennessee Gardens has contingency plans for if it looks like their will be rain on your special day. Michelle is so supportive, responsive, and truly has her stuff together.

Our wedding was for 120 people and we were able to host our wedding at Tennessee Gardens for less than $14,000. I didn’t need to coordinate a single thing on the day of the wedding- I didn’t need to touch a single decoration, talk to a single vendor, track down any loose end. Michelle truly had it all organized and perfect. I will tell anyone I know looking for a special event in the IE to go to Tennessee Gardens. I saw a few bad reviews on here particularly about Michelle and I have to say, it must have been a them- problem and not a venue/Michelle problem

Michelle made our wedding day perfect. The venue was beautiful, they did an excellent job setting up everything exactly how I wanted. She was communicative and helpful.

Every thing was perfect. Beautiful blooming flowers planted that day. amazing cake, great DJ. Michelle took care of everything! Food was good. Managed 150 guests skillfully. Loved everything.

We looked on line at varies venues when we were planning our wedding. Tennessee Gardens was the only place we actually went to see. The venue has everything we wanted. A gazebo to get married in and the open outdoors for our reception. Michelle was so friendly & always available when we had questions. I was at ease the day of our wedding as Michelle & her wonderful staff took care of everything. Our guests absolutely loved our wedding. From the atmosphere, to the food, to the yummy cake. We made the right chose having our wedding at Tennessee Gardens.

I am very happy we chose Tennessee Gardens for our venue! The ceremony and reception took place here and we are very happy with how everything turned out! The food was delicious, the cake was delicious, and the grounds looked beautiful at night! Michelle was very professional and took care of us throughout the entire planning of our wedding!!!!

I can honestly say that I didn't stress one bit on my wedding day Tennessee Gardens was wonderful

Just booked my wedding for Nov 2016
Everything seems to be going great...
Will keep you guys updated

Beautiful outdoor setting with twinkling lights everywhere . Flowers are always in bloom which lessens the cost for decorations. Venue includes cake, food, and DJ, which makes wedding planning less stressful! Cake is from Michelle's Bakery (which is absolutely delicious. I had DJ Joel for my wedding, and he did absolutely amazing. I completely recommend choosing Joel to DJ your wedding.

The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, and Joel, the DJ/coordinator was absolutely amazing! He provided me with the exact wedding that I wanted. I was so impressed with the way he handled everything resulting in our wedding day going very smoothly. I highly recommend Tennessee Gardens - the price was EXTREMELY reasonable for an all-inclusive wedding/reception!

(As for my three stars on responsiveness - there were a few times when we didn't get a call back after leaving a message, your best bet is to call back until you get through.)

I had my ceremony here wish I could of done the while wedding but unfortunately it was a little too much for me I loved everything was very nice. We did the rehearsal two days before I gave the lady all decorations and they set up for me so I didn't have to worry about doing that the day of. We didn't have to pay the rest of the money till the day of rehearsal and most places want you to pay two weeks in advance. It's a beautiful place. For only having the ceremony it was a bit pricey but it was the cheapest I found.
