The most beautiful fairytale venue

I consider myself SO lucky that we were able to book this venue- the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The trees, the rose bushes, the lights, and everything about this space is perfect for an outdoor wedding. The staff and venue coordinator Kelvin were so WONDERFUL to work with- truly could not have asked for anything better. I can't wait to come back and visit this space on our anniversary!

Slice of heaven in a busy city

Totally recommend. The venue is perfectly nestled in the heart of downtown. A little slice of solitude and peace in the fast paced city. They were wonderful to work with for our wedding. Unfortunately, life happened and we had to shift some things. But they were super accommodating!

More than we expected .

Ashlyn and the team made our day a wonderful memory. Due to Covid -19 we had to make some many adjustments, but Ashlyn made it work and created the intimate experience we wanted. Our wedding day and reception was more than we could have ever wanted. Thank you Ashlyn and Dan!

The dream setting with people who care

McGill Rose Garden is ethereal, romantic, and adorably quirky with statues in nooks in crannies for your guests to wander upon. The roses are in bloom way longer than you'd expect and there are swoon-worthy scenes all over the garden perfect for pictures. But beyond the beautiful venue are people who care about giving you the wedding of your dreams. We were warned by everyone "things go wrong, just let it go!" And I was prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for was for absolutely nothing to go wrong. Our wedding was perfect. The timing, all the gorgeous flowers, the fine details that were more so for us than the guests...it was all flawless and that's completely because of the staff at McGill and Nectar. I will be forever grateful to Karisa and Ashlyn for the guidance, quick responses, and thought put into our wedding because even though it was only a day, we worked together for almost a year on the planning.
You can go with a venue that wow's based on size, expense, cool exhibits, or even because you think it's trendy but ultimately, it's the team behind the venue who makes sure your vision comes to life. I think McGill wow's because their team makes sure the garden reflects exactly what you want it to for your big day. For us that was genuine love (and a darn good party for our friends). 15/10 from this happy bride.

A dream wedding venue!

Ashlyn and her team helped us plan and execute the wedding of our dreams! Not only was the final product absolutely beautiful, but Ashlyn's team was right there with us from day 1 through the end of the wedding night. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience. Our guests LOVED McGill!

We recently got married at the Mcgill Rose garden in Charlotte, NC. I can not say enough about how magical they made our wedding day/night for us. They took my ideas and decorations and made the most beautiful venue come to life! The garden itself is blooming with hundreds of rose bushes, lush magnolias, lavender, daisies, crawling greens, and the lighting package we bought just made it even more dreamy and romantic. They were not only our venue site, but our florists, and our coordinators for the day of. They were responsive to emails, flexible, and made the most beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements off of a mood board they made for us! I can go on and on.. they are just the BEST!!!!! The only worry I had about the venue was the weather, as it is all outside. Luckily the wedding gods gave us the perfect day, but we had a back up plan just in case!

After some issues with a prior wedding venue, my husband and I found the McGill Rose Garden and were able to book it last minute for our ceremony. I just have to say, the people at the McGill Rose Garden were so sweet, accommodating and easy to work with and the garden is beautiful! There were so many hidden treasured spots to take our pictures. Have your ceremony at the Mcgill Rose Garden - You will not regret it!! Thank you so much for making our day so beautiful!

Karisa and Dan are absolutely amazing! They take care of all the setup and coordinated with the vendors throughout the planning process and wedding day. It certainly puts a bride at ease! They're incredibly detail oriented and truly want the best for your wedding! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

One of my main concerns was the weather... Something entirely out of one's control. They assist with the process of setting up tent rentals if needed so rain or shine it'll be OK!

The garden is beautiful and perfect for a party of 100. When I entered the garden on the wedding day all of the decor was breathtaking! Truly a gem in Charlotte! You will not be disappointed if your heart is set on a garden. We wed in October.. the roses appear the most lush and full at this time. Thank you Dan and Karisa for making our wedding day perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
