One of the best places to celebrate an outdoor wedding
My wife and I Celebrated our wedding the last weekend here. The garden is beautiful, staff is friendly and the garden it self is very accessible. It is so beautiful it barely needs to be decorated for the occasion ! If we could celebrate it again we would pick this place over again.

So we had planned to use the open space in the garden and surrounded by all the beautiful flowers. Mother Nature had other plans for us in the day of the wedding and decided to bless us with light showers all day. The garden let us use one of the gazebos to shelter our guests from the rain. The rain just made the garden even more beautiful and saying our I dos that much special. Communication with Carol was on point. Even when she was not available there was still someone there to keep a smooth line of communication with us. We couldn’t thank the garden enough for allowing us to have our beautiful intimate ceremony there. Totally recommend and forever will hold a special memory in my heart. Thank you 😊
