    Magical that’s one word to describe it, just pure magic!

    The whole experience with Celebration Garden was pure magic. My event coordinator Justin was an absolute dream to work with. He was so helpful and so was all the staff as well. The ceremony area is so beautiful and well maintained and the new upgraded reception area was amazing! I highly recommend hosting your even here you will not be sorry! I literally felt so special and so did my groom with how attentive everyone was with us and honestly am already thinking of what else we can plan to have there. Don’t walk run and start planning with them now! You won’t regret it and will have dreams of how amazing your special day went!!

    A Gorgeous Venue for a Garden Wedding

    So many of our guests have told us how beautiful Celebration Gardens was for our wedding, and yet they’d never heard of it. Truly, I hope this review helps get the word out because this gem deserves it. If you are looking for a small to medium sized garden setting with lots of natural flowers (never mind what the talented florist brought in), you’ve found your venue. And if you’re lucky enough to have the jasmine blooming like we were, the aroma is out of this world. Celebration Gardens offered several wedding packages to choose from, and then we were able to customize at will. The ability to book a venue and have all the vendors I needed come with the place, that was a lifesaver! Our wedding went from venue selection to wedding date in less than 100 days, and the Celebration Gardens staff made it all happen without any issues. Look over their photos, go take a tour, and have a wonderful event like we did!

    Attentive, Responsive, Easy to Work With, Beautiful Venue

    Michael has been so wonderful to work with. We spoke mostly via email and he was insanely wonderful at replying to any email I sent in a very timely manner! Any time I changed something in the contract, Michael was immediate in sending an updated contract. I toured the venue at the beginning of 2019, and then had another tour for last minute details right before the wedding. This is also when I met with Michael to go over the set up of the tables and vendors and any last minute changes to the contact. Christian, the attendant scheduled for my wedding, was there as well which was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and helpful on both the final tour and on my wedding day as well. I highly highly reccommend Celebration Gardens as a wedding venue. You will get a gorgeous venue, friendly and stress-free professionals, and an excellent price well worth your money.

    Celebration Gardens's reply:

    Hi Lily! That was so nice of you and I really appreciate the kind words. It was our pleasure and best wishes to you both!

    Fantastic!

    Working with Celebration Gardens was a dream! The event coordinator, Michael, was attentive to detail and accommodating. I planned my wedding from out of state and being able to work with a venue that has a great relationship with other local vendors made the process easy and perfect! I would recommend this facility to everyone!

    A Hidden Gem

    My husband and I got married at Celebration Gardens in March 2019 and I could not have asked for a better experience! Every single person I worked/interacted with were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. All communication was timely and Michael, the property manager was very transparent regarding pricing and what was allowed at the venue from the very first tour. The venue itself is intimate and beautiful in its own right, but also gives you lots of space for creativity and imagination to really make it feel like it's your own. I could not recommend it more!

    Celebration Gardens's reply:

    Thanks again Sarah for a wonderful review. It is so appreciated. Take care and wishing you the best!

    10/10 - Beautiful, Stress Free, Memories for a Lifetime

    This venue is spectacular.
    "A little slice of heaven hidden away" is what some of us were saying.

    Everything went flawlessly - the coordination involved with the venue is top notch. They are on top of everything and you never have to worry about things falling through the cracks. They provided all of the vendors for us - we could use or find our own - we used all the suggested vendors. I could go on and on and write an entirely separate review on all the vendors they partner with, but let me save you some time and tell you: they are all phenomenal. The reverend, catering, baker, florist, DJ, photographer - everyone was so wonderful!

    The venue itself: Magical. It was February, and they had flowers within the venue itself (not added from florist) that were in bloom. Beautiful and well maintained. We loved having the building on site to get ready separately. Loved the flexibility for the different floorplans and layouts for the event.

    This team is top notch. If you want a flawless, beautiful, and fun wedding, Celebration Gardens is the place to create memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Michael!!

    Perfect garden venue!

    This venue was absolutely perfect. Our wedding was a daytime, 50 guest, outdoor ceremony and reception, and while the area seemed small initially, there is much more to it than meets the eye. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions I had. The space was gorgeous and versatile and the customization of packages was absolutely perfect! There are so many photo ops! I definitely recommend having your photographer walk through the WHOLE grounds with you to pick spots you absolutely can't miss before the day of, because there are some photos I didn't get to take and I wish I could! Highly recommend!

    Celebration Gardens's reply:

    That was so nice of you Sabrina to leave a great review. You were awesome to work with and we wish you both the very best! Take care. HUGS!

    Magical place!

    My husband and I just got married at Celebration Gardens in January 2019. We visited the venue in May and had a tentative date in mind. Michael Thomas, the facility manager, put a courtesy hold on the date and said he would inform us if anyone else was interested in that date. We booked our date in June 2018.

    Throughout the entire planning process, Michael was extremely helpful. He replied very quickly to all my emails and offered many problem solving solutions along the way.

    One of the added benefits of Celebration Gardens is the a la cart opinions with their services. You could plan everything (food, music, flowers, rentals, etc) through them or you can use outside vendors of your choice.

    We outsourced a lot of our vendors but we did hire the bartender and helpers for the evening through the venue. All employees were professional and helpful throughout the evening.

    The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. Even with a wedding in January, the flowers were in full bloom. The simple charm of the gardens is what won us over. You don't need many decorations of your own with the natural beauty.

    It was an added bonus of having the fire pit accessible. The staff on premise for the evening handled everything related to the fire pit.

    One of the added benefits of the garden are all the little areas that guests can choose to enjoy. Since the dance floor can be separate from the dinner area (we chose to use the ceremony lawn as the dinner space as well), the fire pit area, the inside space where we had our photo booth (mostly because it was cold) and coffee and tea. Each guest could find a place they felt comfortable.

    The only headache I'd say is you have to hire your own lighting for the lawn area or bring in and put up your own. The gazebos are well lit but the lawn space will need some additional lighting.

    We also used a helper/server who was employee through John Michael entertainment for our rehearsal dinner at our house and they were very helpful.

    Our wedding was perfect and everything we had imagined it to be and it was mainly due to the helpfulness of Michael. He even allowed us to deliver a garden trellis a day early and keep it near the office building to help elevate the day of stress. Michael made the planning process less stressful for sure.

    I would definitely hold another event here in the future!

    Celebration Gardens's reply:

    Thanks again Cassidy for another wonderful review! It is really very heartfelt and appreciated. Take care!

    The Perfect Place

    What an amazing experience we had for our wedding! From the beginning to finish, Michael made it simple and guided us through the planning process. We were able to enjoy our special day without worrying about any details. The venue is beautiful and we will consider using it again for other events. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

    My partner and I are from the UK and we were due to come out to Orlando for a holiday but due go the fact we love Florida and everything that comes with it we decided to get married in our favourite place. As you can imagine coming from the UK we were very nervous in regards to what to expect as we were basing our wedding venue mostly on pictures and other guests reviews but from the moment we reached out to Celebration Gardens and Michael everything was made so easy and straight forward for us. Any question we had it was answered straight away and any help or reassurance we needed we were given that time and time again. We were also provided different packages for our day and given the freedom to make amendments if needed, we went with Michaels referel to use "Snap Out Loud" for our photos, I'll attach a few photos for other potential guests to see. We also had a violinst play, Nancy from "Strings and Things" who played a lovely repotoire which included a range of different Disney and movie themes. For my partners flowers we used "Atmosphere Floral and Decor" and they provided the perfect bridal bouquet. Once it was time for the big day we made our way to the venue from International Drive and as soon as we arrived we knew we had made the perfect choice for our occasion, whether it would be for a small group of guests like our wedding or a larger group it's ideal. I highly recommend Celebration Gardens for the perfect wedding location, so whether you're from the local area, US or abroad get in contact with them as they will make everything so easy for you and provide an excellent service before, during and after your day. Highly recommend!

    Celebration Gardens is a beautiful fully-outdoor venue. I had my wedding there this past December and here are some of my favorite things - They are flexible and affordable with options, you can choose from their vendors or use your own. Also I really loved how lush and well manicured their landscape is. The space is pretty all on its own without decor. There is plenty of parking for guests and it transitions well from ceremony to reception and they are very responsive with emails. I was really happy with Celebration Gardens and their services all around and would highly recommend them!

    We had a wonderful Quince (Sweet 15) birthday event here. The team at Celebrations Garden was super helpful and accommodating. They even helped us secure a last minute tent due to surprise weather. We couldn't have been more please with the entire experience. I highly recommend this place for any special event. We will book here again!

    This is an amazing outdoor venue. If you want to have your wedding outdoors which we did, it is definitely worth it. The venue has so much to offer, it works well for both ceremony and reception. The foliage is gorgeous as well and really compliments the wedding so that very little additional decorations are needed. Every guest was wowed by the service, the grounds and the facility. It was perfect!!!
