    They felt like family!

    Pam and Larry are amazing. They are so kind, supportive, and they are so good at weddings that everything feels so simple- almost like you're getting married at a family members house. It feels like you don't have to do ANYTHING the day of the wedding which for me, as the bride, was PHENOMENAL. The venue itself is so gorgeous. It's unbelievable that Larry and Pam tend the massive gardens themselves. You can tell that it is a work from their heart. We had the best experience. HIGHLY recommend.

    I completely adore Pam and Larry at Belle Gardens, they are so sweet and actually care about you and your special day. I couldn't be any happier with my venue, Belle Gardens is straight from a fairy tale!

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding! From the very first time we met Pam and Larry, we knew we wanted our special day to be run by them. They took care of everything. Their entire venue and service is centered on allowing the bride and groom to just show up and get married. Their wedding coordinator, Katie, was absolutely on top of her game as well. She had everything covered the day of the wedding.

    The venue itself is perfect. Everything is beautiful, elegant, and perfectly set up. The ceremony area seats 150-200 people. It is mostly shaded and has a beautiful white gazebo. The floral and other garden features make the entire place seam like a fairy tale secret place. One word describes Belle Gardens and their staff....that is PERFECT

    This venue is far and above superior to any wedding venue I have been to around the country or world should I say! The gardens, the vignettes, the lush green and the way they took care of the families and bride and groom was far and above A number 1. The lush 5 acre grounds are full of delighted surprises for a photographic experience! I could not stop taking photos. The twinkling lights in all the tress were spectacular to say the least! I cannot recommend this venue more highly, you owe it to yourself to go see it!

    Belle Victorian Gardens is a beautiful venue. Pam and Larry were absolutely amazing. Being able to show up on the wedding day and have everything already done was more valuable than you would think. Everything was perfect that day!

    AMAZING VENUE! Pam and Larry were so helpful in helping plan the wedding, and on the day of the wedding Pam really went out of her way to make sure i was not stressed or concerned in any way!

    This team knows what they are doing and they do it SO well! Our experience with Larry and Pam was wonderful, to say the very least...I'd recommend Belle Victorian Gardens to any future bride.
    Only other thing I have to say is this: it'll be extremely difficult picking a different venue after you go visit Belle!

    We absolutely adored Belle Gardens! Such a beautiful and romantic setting for our wedding. I don't think I could've been happier anywhere else. The owners were very professional and helpful. They also made us feel like they really cared about our special day! They do book fast, so if interested call right away!

    Belle Gardens is a great location for weddings. We are thankful for the service provided for us by the owners of Belle Gardens. We had forgotten to iron all of the guys shirts the day before the wedding and at our reversal Pam offered to take them and have them ready for the Big day. Thanks Pam. There was some miscommunication with our caterers and Belle Gardens but Larry was able to settle the problem without making it known to us the entire day we were celebrating, thank you Larry. Overall I just recommend checking where the sun will be during the day so it doesn't get your guests or the wedding party. Thank you Belle Gardens.

    I wish I had done more research into this location. It is beautiful but for the price I'm not sure. Plus, they required professional DJ and catering which just added to the overall cost.

    Covid Brides Beware!

    Our wedding was scheduled for only 2 weeks after the governor shut down all weddings due to Covid. We put down a $2000 deposit with Belle and they refused to refund our "non-refundable" deposit, even though they couldn't legally hold our wedding on their property. We tried to explain to Larry that every other venue in Spokane (hair/flowers/makeup/catering) all refunded us our "non-refundable" deposits but he still refused. There are other venues in Spokane that are more accommodating that I would strongly suggest going with. Unless you're ok with potentially losing your money!! You never know how long Covid will be around for ...

    The grounds of Belle are beautiful until you really start to look at them! The flowers beds had weeds and it does not match the pictures on their website. I would NOT recommend this venue. It is completely overpriced for the service you receive. When we did the final walkthrough we were rushed through the process which was the first time we ever communicating with Pam the "wedding coordinator." The day of the wedding some of our decorations were not setup. Both Pam and Larry were dressed unprofessionally. When my flowers arrived and they were not what I had ordered, Pam asked, "Well is she on a budget?" That should not matter nor is it appropriate for her to ask. Pam was walking the grounds watering her flowers during the reception. We had floating candles that were to be used for guests to light and set afloat in the pond with a wish for us that never happened. They began tearing down tables in the middle if the reception which made guests uncomfortable and felt like they had to leave. Larry made the comment to a couple of our guests, "I can't be here all night!" We left by 10:00pm because most all of our guests had left already because there was no where for them to sit (you can be there until 11:00pm). The most upsetting part is that Pam told one of our guests that they are tired of doing weddings. This should be a HUGE red flag to anyone planning a wedding here.

    Belle Gardens in Deer Park, WA

    Beautiful wedding. Pam did a great job decorating ceramaony area, BUT it's the worst RECEPTION I've ever been to in my 60 yrs of life. Reception started at 6pm with dinner covered in flies n bees then the teenage staff HARRASSED us every 2 minutes to take our plates of food, which was an order from Larry to do so. Larry and Pam are burned out by doing weddings and they personally told us do and it shows. Our entire reception area was completely gone by 8:30 pm and we were left with a bare table and a few chairs. Guests were left standing. The bar closed at 9:30 the dj stayed until 10 pm. We paid $5000.00 to use this venue until 10pm, but Larry and Pam wanted it over with and soon as dinner started. Non of our drinks were put on ice not out out for our guests as promised by Larry prior to paying for venue. Pam and Larry were in shorts and tank top and tee shirt that they wore the day before during rehearsal. Guests thought they were gardening staff, although all the gardens were over ran with weeds. It was awful! Their teenage staff are rude and have zero respect for guests. I would NEVER recommend this place. No make up and hair can be done either. Men have to use nasty out houses. They aren't allowed to use the house bathroom. They are burned out and it defiantly shows, BUT they quickly take your $5000.00 and then you are at their mercy and they chest you if you'd beautiful evening of memories. I'm the Mother of the Bride and Maid of Honor at this wedding held 8/14/21 at 5pm.
