Best decision
My husband & I got married at The Marigold in May and it was truly the best decision we made. From start to finish our experience was amazing. Picking a venue with great food was very important to us and The Marigold did not disappoint. People are still talking about how great the food was! Not only is it a beautiful venue but the staff is truly amazing. Lisa was always so kind and responsive throughout the whole process! She really helped in making our experience run smoothly and seamlessly. Marcella and Nimpfa were the BEST maitre d’s. We couldn’t have been happier to have them both by our side that day. They went above and beyond the whole day. The Marigold is phenomenal. I am so grateful for all the staff! I highly recommend choosing The Marigold!

The best wedding venue
I am BEYOND happy that I selected to have my wedding at the Marigold. I had a large inter-racial wedding and there were a LOT of moving parts but the team at Marigold- Marciella and Nifia made it such a effortless and easy day. They were there for my every need, wish, request, and constantly checking in and it helped make everything go seamlessly.
I knew the marigold had fantastic customer service when I picked them, but to see the level of commitment and care they had for me, my family, and our wedding, solidified that we made the right decision!!!

Amazing Venue!
If I could give The Marigold more than 5 stars, I would. The Marigold was my wife and my second stop when we were venue hunting. It was immediately my favorite venue from the start. The grounds are beautiful and I knew it would be perfect for our fall wedding. Lisa was incredible. She was so attentive in answering all my questions, no matter how crazy I thought they were or how many emails I sent. The food package was insane and more that I could've ever imagined that we would have at our wedding. We had everything we ever wanted: amazing cocktail hour, amazing dinner options, and the dessert.. oh the desert! When Lisa mentioned a Donut Wall and Ice Cream Sundae Bar, my wife was sold. There was no way we would choose any other venue. Lisa also recommended a pop up espresso vendor being that the venue does not serve espresso. I was so appreciative because that was something my dad requested (it was a hit!). The food was to die for. Absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations. People are still talking about how amazing the food was. We also have a few vegetarians in our wedding and Lisa provided so many options for us to choose from. The one we went with was a hit with those family members, which made us very happy. There aren't enough words to express our gratitude for Ninfa (bridal attendant) and Marcella (maître d). They made this day go so smooth. If anything went wrong, we had no idea about it. Everything was handled for us and I couldn't be more appreciative. Ninfa was my right hand the whole day. She went above and beyond with anything and everything that my wife and I needed, from helping me change shoes and bustling my dress to making sure my wife's vest was sitting correctly and tying her shoes. Marcella was the backbone of the whole day. She was attentive to all the needs of that day, making sure I was being taken care of versus me trying to take care of everyone else. She had my back and made sure Ashley and I had everything we needed. Anything we had questions on throughout the night, she was our go to. The staff was so incredibly nice and were the most amazing team I could've asked for in a venue. The bartenders were so positive and full of smiles to us and our guests. My dad requested espresso martinis (with the help of Cupa Cabana) and the bartenders made them absolutely perfect. It was such a nice touch to the end of the evening. I could go on and on about The Marigold and how amazing our wedding was. It was one neither us or our guests will ever forget. Thank you so much to Lisa and the staff of The Marigold for everything. It really was our dream wedding thanks to you all.

Amazing wedding experience
We had our wedding at The Marigold this past weekend and were amazed by how PERFECT everything was executed. We worked with Dave, one of the owners, throughout the planning process and he was always present to answer any questions we had. We had no problem putting all of our trust in him after realizing what a sincere and professional person he was. For example, we had a last minute emergency and he called us at 1030pm the night before the wedding morning to get it resolved. The venue provides you with the support of a Maitre D - Chang and Bridal Assistant - Ninfa - who will go above and beyond for you the day of the wedding. They were the real VIPs. Anytime we needed something, they made it happen within minutes. Given our disappointment with our own wedding planner, we still believe that our day went smooth mainly because of Ninfa and Chang's service. The venue itself looked even more beautiful once the cocktail rooms and ballroom were set up. The built in uplighting and intelligence lighting were a plus. Our guests are still giving us compliments. We now hope to attend a wedding at this venue so we can have the same experience our guests had. Thank you Dave, Ninfa & Chang.

Absolutely Amazing
The Marigold was absolutely amazing from start to end our experience was amazing. The staff, the beautiful venue, the food was top notch. The staff went above and beyond for us until the very last minute of the reception. They were very accommodating to us with us having to change our wedding date due to covid. Lisa and everyone there was amazing. You will not be disappointed!!

Greatest decision ever! (besides marrying my husband :P)
We had our reception at marigold on Oct 17th and let me start off by this was by far the greatest experience we've ever had. From day 1 at the site visit, marigold from its entrance itself has a warm and welcoming vibe. This is further enhanced by the hospitality of their great staff. From dealing with Jamie, Lisa and eventually Marcela and her team we have nothing but great things to say about each and every one. Everyone is so down to earth including the owner Tony, who literally held my dress train prior to our entrance. This is the kind of service you get here. They are certainly within a budget friendly wedding/reception venue with the feeling of having a lavish/luxurious event. I would certainly choose Marigold and even recommend them to all my family/friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
