Wollam Gardens was the perfect wedding venue! We wanted a relaxing outdoor wedding, and this place was absolutely perfect! Everyone was friendly and easy to work with, and the flowers were amazing! Even with uncooperative weather, we were able to have a perfect day in their gorgeous pavilion! We've had many guests compliment on how beautiful and unique the farm was. We highly recommend having your wedding here!

Rustic & Romantic
Our wedding at Wollam Gardens was an absolute dream! The venue itself was stunning. The surrounding flowers were in bloom and the hand-crafted pavilion created the perfect rustic yet romantic reception space. The nearby fire pit was a welcome reprieve in the evening for those looking to relax and chat by the fire with s’mores, and the onsite farmhouse served as the perfect place to get ready before our ceremony. Joe, the venue manager, was friendly, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process and the florist recommended to us by the venue, Hillary of Ferdinand Loves Flowers, absolutely went above and beyond to deliver on our vision for the decor and my bouquet!! We couldn’t be happier with how our day turned out at Wollam! Thank you again to everyone who helped make it happen!

The Beautiful Flowery Wedding of Our Dreams
Venue
My husband and I wanted a small, laid-back wedding surrounded by flowers and Wollam Gardens was the absolute perfect venue for that. From our first tour with Joe, we felt so welcomed and knew right away that this was the venue for us. Joe and the entire Wollam Gardens team were so friendly and accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for better service.
The venue itself is beyond beautiful. The property is covered with flowers and we encouraged our guests to explore the grounds during cocktail hour. We stayed in the charming historic farmhouse, and I got ready there with my bridesmaids. The pavilion is amazing, and provided shade and rain cover on an unexpectedly hot day. We actually decided last-minute to have our ceremony under the pavilion instead of out on the yard, and the pictures turned out beautifully.
Florals
We worked with Emily for florals, and they took our breath away. My bridal bouquet was seriously one of the most stunning arrangements I’ve ever seen, and the bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful too. Emily was so wonderful to work with–I don’t know much about flowers, so I told her my general idea of what I wanted (“lots of fluffy pink flowers, some little white ones, and some wild greenery) and sent her my Pinterest board, and she used her extensive knowledge to craft the most dream-worthy arrangements.
I cannot recommend Wollam Gardens enough. After the wedding, you’ll feel as though you’ve made some friends at Wollam and will want to go back for frequent visits!

The Most Magical Wedding Venue and Experience!
Wollam Gardens was the first venue my husband and I toured and we fell in love immediately. We loved the location and the peacefulness of the gardens. We loved our wonderful venue coordinator, Joe. He helped us every step of the way and always had our minds at ease. The venue is just the perfect setting for a wedding. We had so much space for our guests. We had badminton, cornhole, and ping pong for our guests to enjoy at the reception. Joe also got the firepit going for our reception and it was so nice to enjoy that later in the night.
We did a get a little rain on our wedding day so we got married under the pavilion. It was so beautiful. Hillary, the Lead Florist, is outstanding at what she does. I am a wedding photographer. I have been to quite a few weddings and I have to say those flowers were the most beautiful I have ever seen. People are still raving about her work. My bouquet was also perfection. Hillary was so easy to work with and had such amazing suggestions. The decor was better than I could have ever dreamed of and I am so thankful for the whole Wollam Team!

Absolutely Perfect
Wollam is Wonderful! We had an absolutely perfect, surreal, and magical wedding at Wollam Gardens! Despite some rain, Joe and his team helped us make our dreams come true. Joe worked closely with us throughout the planning process and was an absolute delight to collaborate with (he is also a super talented musician and storyteller!). The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with infinite stunning photo opportunities. The pavilion is a magical, natural, and perfect ceremony site! Emily (the in-house florist at Wollam Gardens) was very accommodating and perfectly turned our ambiguous vision into a stunning reality. We couldn't have asked for anything more, but we certainly got it all at Wollam Gardens. Wishing them all the best with many lucky future brides and grooms!

Have a beautiful wedding at Wollam Gardens
I wish I could remember how I discovered Wollam Gardens -- it might have been noticing they hosted a literary festival (we're readers), realizing it was a flower farm, and wondering whether they did weddings as well. We looked at a LOT of venues across five states (including libraries), trying to meet a lot of factors. We ultimately settled on Wollam: for a host of practical reasons, but also because I think my mom, who had passed recently, would have loved it, it was eco-friendly, it was outdoors, and it wasn't too fussy.
We planned our wedding for fall of 2020 and had to postponed to fall 2021. We were extra glad we were planning an outdoor wedding, and that Joe and Wollam were so flexible. Guests loved the fire pit. We could even have our dog be part of the wedding! And one of the best parts about planning the wedding was not having to worry so much about decorations -- the venue itself brings so much color and beauty on its own.
Speaking of color and beauty, it was also great to not have to separately find a florist -- Hillary makes beautiful creations from the flowers that grow onsite. I was a little anxious to not have any idea what the flowers and greenery might look like but on the day of my wedding, when I first saw the bouquets and boutonnieres, I gasped. Hillary had absolutely nailed what I was going for from what I had shared of my vision and vibe. Same for the arch and other decorative greenery.
Joe and Hillary really are masters at making your wedding vision happen. Day of, Joe was on top of everything from start to finish. He even helped jumpstart my friend's car at the end of the wedding! I really don't have enough good things to say about them.

We couldn’t have dreamt up a better venue
We had a magical, larger than life microwedding at Wollam. Joe is an incredible, highly competent, and affable venue coordinator. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We had a surprise storm right after the ceremony ended and Joe did everything to make sure the night still went off without a hitch. We couldn’t have been happier with this venue, it was perfect for us.

Beautiful garden venue
This is the perfect wedding venue. The gardens are beautiful and the people are great. Especially Joe who will go out of his way to help you even if you stupidly drive your car into a ditch and get stuck. The open air pavilion is very nice during the day, but it really shines in the evening when the sun starts to set, the bonfire gets going, and the fireflies start glimmering in the background.

Stunning Venue
Stunning grounds and beautiful farmhouse. The ~11 acre property was the site of my perfect early October COVID-friendly wedding. My bride and I worked with Hillary and Joe for almost two years planning our perfect day, and we are SO thankful for them and know for certain we couldn’t have pulled off a safe wedding without their expertise and ability to pivot on a dime. Professional, personal perfection. They worked with us to safely navigate our day, went above and beyond and exercised infinite patience with all of the last minute changes that the pandemic presented. As a wedding venue, absolutely 10/10 in all aspects; location, scenery, aesthetic, distanced, acres upon acres of lovingly cared for flowers and lush gardens, and of course Cameo Joe making his first wedding beer pong appearance and Hillary absolutely nailing my bride’s vision to a tee.
Truthfully, we can’t recommend Wollam Gardens enough.

Gorgeous Venue - Great Staff
Wollam Gardens is a beautiful venue that met all our requirements: outdoor, rustic, covered, super charming. We first visited in the pouring rain and were sold immediately. The price point was great but they've since redesigned their package offerings to make the process even easier for couples. Planning a wedding through COVID was stressful but having a wedding here with some extra precautions in place put us at ease. The staff were all great, video chatting with us from quarantine to talk things over, and our friends and family are still telling us stories about great things Joe did for them on the day. If we had to get married all over again, we'd still do it here!
