We cannot say better things about The Gardens! Everyone is so lovely, organized, friendly, and professional! They really made our day so special and accommodated every curveball that came our way. If you're looking for a spectacularly gorgeous indoor/outdoor wedding venue with the best people by your side for the ride, you've found the best spot. Thank you for all of your help and for going above and beyond!

My spouse and I had the literal wedding of our dreams. The Gardens were able to accommodate things we wanted, like family style dinner, long tables, great sound quality and an incredibly beautiful outdoor space. Getting married here was easy, the whole team communicated so quickly and respectfully. Being a queer couple, it was great to be in a space we could be fully ourselves. I don't think either of us could have anticipated anything better. The food was delicious, the venue was gorgeous, the people were great and the day was perfect.

I don’t know where to start. What fell into place as the most magical day of my life couldn’t have been done without such an amazing venue.

The Owners of the Garden Center are extremely professional, thoughtful, streamlined, and highly knowledgeable. My Wife, My family, and My Friends were all taken care of, felt in place, and had nothing but wonderful memories to be left with and shared. We where tended on, we where taken care of, we shared laughs, memories, and left with an overall sense of completion on our journey to getting married. And I haven’t even mentioned how beautiful of a venue/location this place is for a wedding.

From the Gardens, the rooms, architecture, bars, food, audio, ponds, cemeteries, and wonderful decor this place is filled with secrets and character.

My husband and I got married at The Gardens Wedding Center on 6/14/2025 and it was nothing short of a dream. Everything from the schoolhouse where our wedding party got ready to the green space set up to play lawn games was picture perfect. We knew going into it that a garden would be lovely in June, but The Gardens is so much more than just flowers and greenery. The love and care that Johan and his family put into this venue and the weddings they host is viscerally palpable, and you feel it the moment you get out of your car in the parking lot. The chapel is striking, with stained glass windows and beautiful wood floors, airy cathedral ceilings and a feeling of lived-in comfort. The schoolhouse, complete with climbing vines atop the front door, is charming and exactly what you need for a wedding party. There is a large airy room for the bridal party and a basement room complete with Pacman arcade machine for the groom’s party. Almost every space is touched by warm sunlight dappled by leaves. The garage is a bar with rustic touches that complement the surroundings. The garden is vast, complete with a pond and a tree swing, and provides a new backdrop every foot or so. Pictures taken only a couple steps away look like you’re in a whole different part of the garden. Every month contains different flowers and foliage, which you can see examples of on their website (which is SO helpful when you want to envision what the space would look like at the time of your wedding). The outside tent was the perfect size, lit with lovely Edison bulbs, ideal for dinner and then later at night for dancing. The chapel was our backup for the ceremony and reception, but we lucked out with the weather and were able to use it for our photobooth as well as our dessert buffet, which worked out wonderfully. The catering, which is provided by Chef Kent (Amanda’s husband), is literal heaven. Our tasting appointment was so much fun and all the food so delicious that we had a difficult time narrowing down our menu. We couldn’t have been happier with the options we chose and our guests agreed.

Beyond the aesthetics of The Gardens, we couldn’t have wished for better people to work with to make our dream day a reality. We had toured a few other venues, and they all felt stiff, forced, and Pinterest perfect (not that there’s anything wrong with Pinterest but we wanted a certain atmosphere that we were not finding). We both felt the expectation of stuffiness completely dissipate as soon as we stepped into The Gardens. At no point did my partner and I feel like we were at a wedding venue because Johan, Julian, and Amanda are so welcoming and so comfortable to be around that it felt like we’d always known them. The property feels like a family member’s generational house that you go to for big family reunions, so much space to explore and a relaxed atmosphere. Johan is the friendliest, chillest man you’d ever want to be running a wedding venue and solidified that we wanted The Gardens to be our venue less than 10 minutes into our initial tour. I saw my partner’s face when we walked into the garden, and I knew we were sold before Johan even went into detail about the property. Julian clearly loves what he does, is a brilliant bartender, and so excited to try new drinks/recipes. My favorite cocktail is a Painkiller, and he recreated it perfectly to be one of our signature drinks. They have so many standing options for signature drinks as well, all of them delicious. I sent a billion emails to Amanda, mostly filled with scatterbrained and rambling questions, all of which she parsed out and provided answers for. She is so personable and calming that the nerves I felt creeping up to our 30-day final walk through were soothed almost immediately. They were all so genuinely excited about our vision from the start; whether that was the tablescapes, our color schemes, our signature drinks, our processional and recessional songs, that it truly felt like working with friends. They are very accommodating for requests and either give great recommendations for anything you can think of or bounce ideas around with you so you can solidify plans. My mom was so impressed and made multiple comments that Amanda was a blur between helping our party set things up to putting things together and taking things down at the end of the night. They all work so hard and are so good at their jobs that it takes a great weight off your shoulders, which is very VERY helpful when you’re planning your own wedding. They are personable, efficient, talented, and truly want to make your day amazing in every sense of the word. We couldn’t be more thrilled with The Gardens and all the hard work they did, we can’t recommend them highly enough.

Our photography was done by O&B Photo Co., and can't recommend highly enough either.

When we were touring wedding venues, it was game over for every other venue once we saw the Gardens! Right away, it's obvious that this is an amazing and dreamy property. Guests told us all night that our wedding had the most beautiful, unique venue. Of course the venue is beautiful, but the team we worked with was just as great. Every employee we interacted with made us feel supported in the wedding planning process and just showered with love and joy on our big day. Throughout the planning process, the team answered all sorts of questions I had beyond the standard questions and they were always so sweet, thoughtful, and helpful. I so deeply appreciated that the staff always listened to our ideas and made us feel welcome. The people were kind, the food was delicious, the drinks were awesome, the scenery was awesome- we couldn't have asked for more.
Another thing we loved about this venue is that everything is on site and easy to manage- no need to rent an extra space for getting ready suites, no need to worry about a "plan b" in case of weather because the historical chapel is as GORGEOUS as the outdoor spaces. Truly, I don't think there'd be a way to have a less than stunning event here, the whole space is just phenomenal and we will stay obsessed for life.

Would highly recommend this venue! We had our wedding here on 9/16. The family and staff were amazing from start to finish! They were truly a pleasure to work with. The communication was great throughout the whole process. Whenever we had a question, they were very responsive and helpful. On the wedding day, they really helped everything go smoothly. We received so many compliments on the venue and food from guests. The way The Gardens transformed at night was just beautiful! You can tell they put a lot of time and love into the venue. We could not have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

We had our fairytale wedding at the gardens, and it could not have been more magical! Amanda and Johan are truly, remarkable people. They helped our wedding day be perfect and run smoothly. They maintained great communication and were very genuine. We continue to have guests rave about the venue and the food. Their Italian mac and cheese is out of this world!! We have already recommended the Gardens to others and could not be happier. Still in wedding bliss:)

Words can’t express how thankful I am for The Garden’s Wedding Center. My husband and I got married in June of 2023 and we are still overflowing with joy and gratitude as we think back on our wedding day - the absolute best day of our lives. The hard work, compassion, and pure dedication Amanda, Johan, and The Gardens team put towards making our day seamless, personal, and God-honoring was truly a gift.

The Garden’s made our wedding day the best day of our lives, but it was the year-long wedding planning process that gave me such peace of mind leading up to our special day. I have no hesitation when I say that Amanda was the hands and feet behind our day. She was approachable, quick-to respond, gentle, kind, and thoughtful every single time that I communicated with her. Amanda, please know that you made me the happiest, most serene bride on my wedding day and I hope that you know how cherished your work is for The Gardens and every bride-to-be that you work with.

If Amanda was the hands and feets, Johan was the muscle. If we had an idea, Johan found a way, made it happen, and made it happen with purpose. Johan welcomed my family with open arms and shared his absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue with us on multiple visits. Thank you Johan for creating such a special gem of a space that truly felt like home to us.

The venue was timeless, beautiful, welcoming - every one of our cottagecore chic dreams came true at The Garden’s Wedding Center.

I left not only as a wife welcomed into my husband’s family, but feeling as if I was a part of The Garden’s Wedding Center family - even if for just a day.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

With abounding love,
The Murrays

I cannot recommend The Gardens enough! They made our wedding day incredibly easy to plan and everything was even more special than we imagined. Johan, Amanda, and Julie are fantastic at what they do and they make you feel warm and welcome in their beautiful space. This is truly a one of a kind venue and you should book with them!

Amanda and Johan! A more exquisite day could not have been produced by the all the best Hollywood has to offer! We felt as thought we’d stepped in heaven for a few hours and your service was impeccable.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The property was stunning in May! The sanctuary was so warm and so inviting! It was pure joy and and happiness and beauty!

We got so many comments from our guests on how awesome this place was too!
