It's not uncommon for people to refer to their wedding day as "the perfect day" or "the best day ever", and our wedding day at The Gardens was just that. The day was stress free, smoothly run, and so insanely fun, thanks to the amazing staff at The Gardens.

Our journey with The Gardens began with a tour in October 2020, when we booked a date for our September 2022 wedding then and there. It was truly love at first sight - it was the only venue we saw but it checked all of our boxes so we had no doubts in our mind!

Over the course of the two years we spent planning our wedding, Amanda and The Gardens staff were always easy to reach and happy to answer all questions. We appreciated the "can do" attitude of everyone at The Gardens, and their help with making all of our requests seem like no big deal. From our mobile photobooth inside of a VW Microbus, to our 6-piece jazz band during cocktail hour, to our cigar bar and lawn games - the staff let us utilize what felt like every inch of the property and were happy to make all the arrangements needed to accommodate us. They literally landscaped an entire area we had our eyes on for our band's set up in time for our wedding - seriously! That's just one example of how committed The Gardens family is to making their couples happy!

You can tell that the maintenance of The Gardens is a labor of love for Johan and all involved - the restored 1800s Cream City chapel and schoolhouse as well as the garden space bursting with colorful flowers are a testament to the love and effort that goes into keeping this historical property beautiful. We got endless compliments on our venue selection. Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning of a setting it was.

The Gardens takes care of both catering and bar, and boy, do they do it well! We got lots of compliments on the food, some even saying it was the best wedding food they ever had! The Gardens staff helped create a menu for us that included gluten free and vegan entrees, which was much appreciated by our guests with dietary restrictions. The bar staff (especially Julian!) were accommodating to our ideas for super boujie signature drinks and mocktails, which were happily consumed by our guests.

We will forever be singing the praises of this venue and every wonderful person who makes The Gardens what it is. THANK YOU to The Gardens for making our wedding "the perfect day"!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue. We had our wedding here in June. The staff was amazing- they were there to help me with anything and everything day of and during the planning process. Our guests raved about how awesome the food was. It was perfect- like a dream come true.

We cannot say enough good things about The Gardens Wedding Center. From the very first tour, we knew this was THE place. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the venue is GORGEOUS!! The staff are very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. They helped everything go so smoothly the day of which helped everyone be able to enjoy the moment and not stress. The food is AMAZING and we got so many compliments on it. We got so many compliments on the venue as well. Everyone loved being able to walk throughout the gardens and explore the stunning venue. Picking The Gardens as our venue was the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding.
