My wife and I got married at The Gardens on 9/2/23 and could not have been happier with our experience. We first met with Lisa M, the Sales Director, in December 2022. Even with a foot of snow on the ground, we knew this was the venue for us (and the amazing photos on Lisa’s iPad certainly helped us envision the venue in its full glory). We got super lucky that The Gardens had a Saturday available in September 2023. The Gardens uses the Honeybook platform which made correspondence and coordination super easy. The team at The Gardens, primarily Lisa R (Operations Director) was always timely and helpful with their responses. We did a final details appointment with Tom H (Events Director) about 6 weeks before the wedding which was extremely helpful. Working with The Gardens does require some extra coordination by the couple since the venue isn’t full service (e.g. doesn’t come with an in-house caterer or bartender), but the extra coordination was easy based on how organized The Gardens team was and our decision to mostly use The Gardens’ preferred vendors.

We did our rehearsal walkthrough and dropped off our décor and alcohol the day before the wedding, which was really convenient. On the day of the wedding, the team from The Gardens coordinated directly with our day-of-coordinator to ensure everything was set up just as we wanted it. Our DOC and The Gardens team coordinated with all the vendors to ensure everything went smoothly throughout the day. Overall, we’re so pleased with our decision to get married at The Gardens and would absolutely recommend it as a venue to couples considering it as an option!

We got married at The Gardens at the beginning of June 2023 and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From finding the venue, to after the wedding, the Gardens team have been amazing to work with. Shout out to Gillian and Victoria for making the wedding run so smoothly. There is a magic to the Gardens that our photographer (Sydney Kerbyson) told as about, which when the weather for the day was forecasted to be full of thunderstorms, it only started when the ceremony and cocktail hour was finished and everyone was under the tent ready for the reception.

The venue is so beautiful and allows for guests to explore everywhere. We were able to have our dog Louie with us throughout the day which made it so special and was able to use the cottage to keep him comfortable in the AC. Their vendor recommendations are top notch too. We highly recommend The Gardens and wish we could re-live our wedding day over and over again.

We cannot say enough good things about The Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain and the team that works there. One of the most common bits of feedback we received from our wedding guests was that they’ve never seen a more beautiful and unique venue. But beyond the beauty the grounds provides for such an important day, the people that made it all happen is what we cannot stop talking about. We were initially hesitant to consider The Gardens because the venue is a kind of blank slate that requires you bringing in your own vendors which we found to be daunting. But when we visited to see the space, Lisa immediately eased any concerns because she was so organized, informative and enthusiastic about what The Gardens had to offer. Throughout the planning phase, the team was helpful in providing a variety of vendor recommendations and promptly answering our many questions. At our detail appointment, Tom was helpful at recommending a few final tweaks to our plan and providing the correct info to execute those changes. Our rehearsal and day-of teams were amazing, with Tom being a constant calming presence and the whole crew being supportive in caring for us and our guests and providing a seamless operation. We know that there was a small village of caring, detail-oriented, talented people behind every step leading up to our wedding. Wedding planning can be a little overwhelming, but The Gardens made us feel like we were in good hands from the start which was a huge part of what made our day so perfect.
