If you're looking for a rustic style wedding, stop here. Go visit this venue, have dinner, and book it. The staff was so accommodating, we felt like we were the only wedding on their minds. They stayed late on numerous occasions to meet our scheduling needs. Whenever we asked "Can we do...?" the answer was yes or we're going to try our hardest to make it happen (and they always made it happen). They easily went above and beyond all of our expectations. On our wedding day every single staff member was working hard, but always with a smile. We could have never asked to work with a better group of people.

The decorations they have on site were reasonably priced and on the day of our wedding we noticed they included even more than we had asked. We asked if we would be charged extra and they said "Of course not, we just thought we could do more for you". Not to mention they include a lot of decorations and flowers as part of their normal décor (saves on flower costs). If you're looking for something they have it or they'll order it for you. They even assembled items for us the day before our wedding.
As far as food goes, you will never find another venue that gives you more for your money. It's probably in the middle of most vendors as far as cost, but we had several guests that weren't able to finish their main course. If you didn't finish, you got to take it home which is rare for any venue. It's truly unbelievable the amount of food they give you at such a high quality. It's because of this we now frequently visit the restaurant and we've never had a bad meal. Not once. We also had several people with allergy restrictions, which they said was not a problem and they actually charged us less for those meals. Their chef worked with us on every single guest to make sure their needs were met. If you visit the venue, have dinner there to try it. The steak and salmon are must haves.
Just book this place.

May 2019 wedding - amazing so far!
We are getting married at the Gables in May 2019, and so far the team at the Gables has been AMAZING! They are super responsive and patient with all of our questions. They are flexible and very willing to work within your budget. We’ve been to the restaurant a couple times for lunch, and the food is DELICIOUS. We’ll add more detail after our big day in May!

Perfect Venue - Even Better Event Team!
I knew the moment we walked into The Gables that we would be getting married there. What I didn't expect was a top notch Event Planning team that would go above and beyond to make our special day the best day ever. Carol, Kayla, Kelly and Ann took the time to meet with us and answer a slew of our questions and concerns prior to our day. They were incredibly responsive via e-mail and were always a pleasure to meet with to discuss final details. The weekend of our wedding the weather threatened to rain, but the ceremony site and exterior were pristine and the fall decorations already placed were perfect for the atmosphere. Carol went above and beyond with the decorations - she understood what we wanted and brought it to life. The food and drinks and serving staff were amazing! We get told all the time how yummy dinner was. The banquet hall with twinkly lights and decorations was romantic and the perfect setting for our reception. We will be forever grateful for the love, support, protection and kindness the team at The Gables showed us on our wedding day. While weddings can be business related, there is a lot of love and care that is going on behind the scenes and we saw every bit of that on our wedding day. We cannot recommend this venue enough. We love you guys! - Whitney & Vincent
