Easily the best choice in venues we could have made. The staff were so wonderful to work with. We wanted a very simplistic and laid back wedding and were able to do just that at The Gardens. The grounds are absolutely stunning and need very little decor to give it that magical feel. Loved that they had no restrictions on vendors, as we were able to supply our own alcohol, have outdoor games and choose any caterer for a nacho bar and tacos. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough great things about the Gardens of Castle Rock! It is a spectacular venue for all couple’s and their visions for their wedding day. They have various wedding sites where couples can utilize the space and make it their own. Beautiful landscapes, wooden handmade details, a gorgeous stone fireplace, a unique bar overhang, and the newest bridal cottage space are just a few of the many things that make this venue amazing! On top of that, the staff are wonderful, so accommodating, patient, and personable. Definitely take the time to do a walk-thru with Glenn and see how special this place really is! Highly recommend!!

Glenn and his team and GCR really made our vision of our day come together. Glenn and his staff not only will help with setting up your tables and chairs, but will help with other small details. They even had some suggestions to help with decor and other items I wanted to incorporate, but didn't know where to put them. We HIGHLY suggest a wedding panner to help with your special day. Our wedding coordinator, Dana Allison(Keyed up events), really took the time to get to know us months before the wedding, which helped even more. There would have been NO time for my groom and I to help with set up that morning. You are the only ones on site - they do not hold any other events that day. We used pretty much the whole place! Our ceremony was timeless in the woods. They set up pew benches for our 175 guests. Then we moved to the cocktail hour near the bar where we had an acoustic guitarist playing. The venue allowed us to have a food truck as our caterer. But you can really choose any vendor you want for dinner/food service. We utilized the grape leaf covered "lath house" as our dining area. You will need to provide linens for the 60" and 30" round tables. They have 8' long cedar tables that do not need linens. Our photo booth set up on the lawn. The dance party was under the large tent (that stays there all year). Jason with JPS entertainment, who helped with our music during the ceremony, dinner, dance, and not to mention the speakers he brought to put out sound for the Illumination fire troupe! We had an epic fire performance on the grand promenade with a special guest appearance from me - the bride - with my light up LED hula hoops! Last song has got to be done by 11:00. and by 12:00 you and all your decor needs to be out of there. No cars can be left overnight. You will also have to hire an on site Sheriff to be there if you are serving alcohol. The Sheriff was pretty cool, and kept to himself. Charnel Timms photography.
