Lauren Sent on 06/07/2023Beautiful Venue
The venue was gorgeous and the events team was super helpful! We chose the farm to garden package and it really helped cut down on the stress of wedding planning, so much of our decor and details were taken care of! (It included ceremony seating, reception tables and seating, cocktail tables, set up tables [for food, gifts, cake, s’mores, etc], place settings, table runners, linens, draping of the ceremony arbor, cocktail space, and reception space, a beautiful Bar to use [we provided our own alcohol], use of a bridal sweet)
Rockledge Gardens reached out about two months before the wedding to schedule time to go over details, choose colors, and tie up any loose ends. Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and more for the budget we had 💗 the venue also lended a hand in creating beautiful photos!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Hi Lauren,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your personal touches on your wedding were stunning! We wish you many years of happiness.
Warmly,
Rockledge Gardens Events Team -

Rachel Sent on 12/05/2022The Most Perfect Day!
The staff and event space at Rockledge Gardens was outstanding! I highly recommend them for any event you are planning. Their staff was super friendly, quick to answer questions, and had amazing communication leading up to our wedding! The venue itself is beautiful with natural beauty with all the plants. The event space also has festoon lights and a fire pit which add an additional magical feeling to any evening event.
Our day was perfect and I can't thank Rockledge's Staff and our vendors enough for making it so special and seamless!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Rachel, thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a kind review! We're so glad to hear that your day was perfect. We wish you and Tido many years of happiness! -

Alex Sent on 05/01/2022The first, and the best, decision I made
When I first spotted this place online, I had a feeling this venue was the one. When I took the hubby, he immediately agreed. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous and well tended and gave our wedding the casual feeling we were looking for. Not being locked into their vendors made our wedding so much more affordable and really allowed us to customize.
Our day was exactly as we pictured, not a hair out of place, and the Rockledge team made that a reality. The two vendor coordinators we had were very attentive and together with our day-of coordinator, fixed a whole host of things that went wrong. They say something will always go wrong on your wedding day, but from our perspective, everything was absolutely perfect, because they took care of it.
If I planned a wedding again, there would be many things I did differently, but I would have picked this venue every time. Thank for Rockledge Gardens for the beautiful day.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Alex! We're glad you picked us too! Wishing an eternity of love and laughter to you and your new hubby! -

Perfect day
Rockledge Gardens is a perfect place for a wedding. It’s a blank canvas so you can really create your dream wedding from the vendors YOU want to personal touches like a surprise ice cream truck pulling in vs the traditional wedding cake. The staff is flexible and open to new suggestions. Having yard games and a fire pit made the wedding very casual and family friendly just like we pictured. Thank you RG team!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It was a wedding we'll always remember here at Rockledge Gardens. -

Robyn Sent on 04/02/2021Amazing experience - 10/10 recommend
Rockledge Gardens is incredible! Their facility is simply magical and you have access to the entire grounds for all the beautiful photo ops - secret and known - throughout. The staff is absolutely amazing. They were so attentive in the planning process and so flexible with our schedules and desires. They have a private wedding room available for your wedding party to enjoy throughout your event time and it is delightful. They even met with me about any possible concerns or questions I may have had before I booked with them and that was the main deciding factor for me - willing to meet even without a business contract but also that they were so helpful throughout the entire process. Seriously - best place for a wedding or reception!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you, Robyn! This warms our heart and we so appreciate your kind words. We are so happy to have been part of your beautiful day. -

![Jackie]()
Jackie Sent on 01/06/2021Picturesque venue with amazing staff
The entire team with Rockledge Garden Weddings truly made a difference in my wedding day. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but planning during the uncertainty of a global pandemic is insanity. The girls went above and beyond to answer all of my thousands of emails, repeatedly calmed my fears, and helped guide me along the changing CDC guidelines. They’re also rapidly improving and adapting. I first toured the venue in Sept 2019, visited again in February 2020, and by the time I had my wedding in November there were beautiful features that weren’t there before. Despite living in Jacksonville, we are so happy we chose this venue and have our memories here.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much Jackie for all your kind words. We're so happy to be apart of your day and could ease all your fears and worries! -

October 2, 2020 Wedding
My husband and I recently got married at Rockledge Gardens. This was after postponing our original date due to the pandemic. They were more than understanding and very compassionate! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and enchanting. Liz, Tricia and Jessica were all amazing throughout the entire process. We loved the Bring-Your-Own-Vendor aspect, as every wedding is unique and what YOU want it to be. The team is very detail oriented and professional! Our wedding was more than I ever could have imagined, all thanks to Rockledge Gardens! -

What I wouldn't give to relive this day.
I couldn't have gone through this experience with any other venue, everyone here was great with getting back to us as well as helping coordinate everything day of with helpful suggestions and attentiveness. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking so much of my family and friends had a beautiful time and loved the space. I couldn't help but fall in love with every photo that showed such a special part of me and my husband's hearts.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Mackenzie, your wedding was so beautiful! You were a breathtaking bride and we all relive this day with all your gorgeous photos. It was our absolute pleasure to assist and witness your incredible celebration! -

Excellent cost efficiency venue
If you are seeking an outdoor/garden wedding and you don’t want to spend a lot this is a excellent choice. They were all very helpful and patient. They have a few packages to chose from and they include a lot!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Angela! You're the sweetest and it was such a pleasure working with you. We wish nothing but the best for you and Trey! -

The most magical wedding we could have imagined!
We had the best experience working with Amanda and Jessica from Rockledge Gardens! Both of them were extremely responsive and helped guide us every step of the way. As soon as we saw the venue, we knew it was exactly where we wanted to get married. It’s so magical and had the perfect vibe for what we were looking for. We decided to go with a band instead of a DJ and were worried the band wouldn’t fit, however there was plenty of space for a 5 piece band as well as our tables and 100 guests. The night couldn’t have been more perfect, and the staff is amazing!!! -

Kenneth Sent on 02/24/2020Everything we were looking for!
Rockledge Gardens is an absolutely beautiful venue with all of the amenities that we could ask for on our special day. The venue was only half of what made Rockledge Gardens so special. The staff/ wedding team was incredible start to finish in every way. They made the planning process as stress free and flexible as possible, and on wedding day they had staff present to make sure everything went smoothly to ensure we could really enjoy our wedding. We are truly happy that we went with Rockledge Gardens and highly recommend them!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Kenneth, it was so special to celebrate your and Blair's love for each other! Your day was such a perfect representation of how much you care for and love each other. Wishing you so much happiness in the years to come. -

Kelsea Sent on 05/23/2019Outstanding!
Rockledge Gardens, words cannot describe the magic at this venue.
My new husband and I didn’t do things like a normal couple, since he’s in the military, we planned a wedding in a month. With that being said it was so intensely difficult to not only find a venue but that venue to be available in a months time.
When I first heard about the possibility of having a small reception at this dream location I started crossing my fingers and praying. When I found that they were available for my wedding date, all the bridezilla stress and anxiety went away. Not only because this location is something out of a fairy talk but because the staff of the gardens were; in every sense of the word; amazing. Not to mention military family friendly!
They tended to every request and gave several solutions to each problem that accrued. I’m still amazed at how each of the staff members genuinely wanted to make our wedding day the greatest day of our life!
I will always be so incredibly thankful for Liz and the rest of the event team. For always being two steps ahead 24/7.
Also for Shells Event Planning and Mimosas & Moonshine for all they’re hard work and small detailed touches. I’m still in awe of how spectacular the day and planning process was.
I will always recommend this venue for any event.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Kelsea we loved being part of your day and seeing your incredible vision come to life! Wishing you so much joy in your marriage! -

Cody Sent on 05/12/2019Best Choice Ever!
Liz, Jessica, and the rest of the Rockledge Gardens team were absolutely the most helpful, patient, and accommodating staff anyone can ask for! They went above and beyond for our special day.
They are extremely responsive, with tons of connections and recommendations for all the other pieces of your wedding. They are willing to work with just about anyone. Their terms and conditions are straightforward and easy to understand.
The Gardens were absolutely gorgeous for our March wedding. Everything was in bloom! The fire pit, pavilion space, courtyard, and even the commercial areas are just perfect for your garden party-style wedding. It's so much fun for you and your guests to be able to visit and view the entire space during your event.
We knew it was love at first site and we are so happy we decided to host our wedding here.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Cody! We loved working with you and Mel and your Winnie-the-Pooh theme came out soooooo beautifully! Thank you so much for celebrating with us. We wish you a lifetime of laughter and joy! -
![Jeff]()
Jeff Sent on 04/29/2019Helpful, family environment, clean and specific to our needs
Liz and her staff were beyond helpful for my wife and I's wedding 12/15/19. We chose this venue because of excellent review and they are accurate to the t. We were so impressed by the aesthetics of the venue which really for us became the focal point of all of our decorations. The place is simply beautiful and the staff were helpful the whole way through. Initially we were concerned about 2 things: having the wedding while the facility was still open and the noise of US 1 interfering with the ceremony. Neither of those things were an issue and we were amazed at how secluded and special we felt. The venue just does an amazing job of coordinating the event. Couldn't recommend higher!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Jeff! You and Leah were wonderful to work with and we wish you a lifetime of joy, laughter, and happiness! We're so happy you chose to celebrate with us! -

Absoultely gorgeous venue and outstanding staff to assist!
My husband and I got married at Rockledge Gardens in February and we had the best time! The venue is absolutely beautiful. I love how everything is all right next to each other (ceremony space and reception/cocktail space). I highly recommend getting a food truck for cocktail hour and dinner, people LOVED it. The lights at night make this place truly magical and we are so thrilled we chose this place. Planning with Liz and Jessica was a breeze, highly recommend for your wedding!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Michelle! That photo is pure magic! We'd love to see the rest from your wedding! Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and joy in marriage. -

My husband and I were married there on March 1st and we could not have asked for a more beautiful location. Liz was with me every step of the way made the whole process completely stress free.

![Ryan]()
Ryan Sent on 01/02/2019Perfect venue!
I could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than Rockledge Gardens. Firstly, the venue itself is beautiful, especially when coupled with the optional pavilion interior plant decor service. We were blown away on our wedding day. Also, Liz and her entire staff were more than accommodating and always striving to help make our day as amazing as possible. We were even able to include our pup in our day! We were thrilled with the entire process of planning our wedding at Rockledge Gardens, especially on our wedding day. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have and do recommend Rockledge Gardens Weddings to anyone who will listen.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Ryan! You guys we so great to work with and Emily's wedding gown was just the loveliest things we've ever seen! Wishing you so much happiness! -
![Samantha]()
Samantha Sent on 12/25/2018Backyard wedding vibes
We love the feel of a backyard wedding that Rockledge Gardens has! The staff is amazing and will work with you every step of the way. They are very flexible about vendors and so much is included in the package that it's extremely affordable. Would 100% still book here if I did it all over again. There are so many beautiful features all over the place and the relaxed vibe of the venue makes for a beautiful wedding.
The only thing to be aware of, this is not a super private venue. The bridal get ready area is also the dedicated office and there were customers walking around during our first look and until about an hour into our wedding. It's nothing that bothered us and they made that all clear when we booked, just be aware that you should have some people with you to shoo away nosy customers (one almost walked into the middle of our first look lol, awkward)Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much Samantha! And thank you for the feedback. We’ll work on making sure there is someone to run interference during first look, etc.! -
Lupe Sent on 06/05/2018My then fiance and I went to see a hall for our first tour of venues. It wasnt what either of us wanted and was almost our entire budget. Then we visited Rockledge Gardens. In awe from the first sight and as the tour went on we knew it was it. The gardens are gorgeous. The pavillion can be anything you make it. Plenty of places to take gorgeous pictures. The staff was so nice and accomodating. We had a smores table at the firepit and it was a smash with the kids and adults. I cant say enough of Rockledge Gardens. I pestered with a million questions as we approached the day and pestered more the week of. They were very patient and caring. The cost was affordable and it was all a dream.
Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Lupe! I loved all your touches, especially the unbelievably adorable ring bearer! We wish you and Godfrey so much happiness! -

Julie Sent on 01/13/2018My husband and I tied the knot at Rockledge Gardens in November and it was a genuine dream come true! The space is absolutely divine and the staff is incredible. We found out about this wonderfully vibrant and inviting venue at a bridal show after speaking with Liz. From that moment forward she was instrumental in helping us achieve our perfect day. Through her partnership with Rent Your Events we were able to secure tables, seating, and linens which made planning tremendously more easy. She also helped us find affordable special event insurance which gave us peace of mind so that we could relax and enjoy our celebration. Her support and involvement throughout the whole process was superb.
With respect to the space, in a word, the grounds were enchanting. Our wedding felt truly surreal and our guests were in awe of the striking beauty at every turn. For our intimate gathering of about 40 guests, the layout of the grounds played a huge role in the success of our evening. After having our ceremony under the archway on the lawn, our guests were able to be seated immediately for the reception in the pavilion. Having the kitchen and bar space made things seamless for our caterers. One of my favorite things, though, was having the fire pit.
Before our wedding I had admired pictures of other couples' at the Gardens and was always impressed to see how different each appeared. The space is so well designed; it truly becomes the canvas for any couple's theme.
Shout out: All photos of our event featured with this post were taken by Oak& Iron Photography.Rockledge Gardens's reply:
Thank you so much, Julie! I will always remember you and Mike. Your love for each other and the sparkle of fun in everything you do just shines so bright! We are thrilled to have been a part of your celebration! XOXO Liz -

Nicki Sent on 01/11/2018We couldn't have found a better spot for our December wedding! With a location close to the cruise port (where some of our guests joined us for a weekend extended reception), gorgeous venue, and a fantastic staff, we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day! (We even had the Space X launch go off right after we finished the ceremony!)
Liz, in particular, was such a joy to work with. She's extremely responsive and goes above and beyond for her couples. We are so, so happy we chose Rockledge Gardens as our wedding venue!Rockledge Gardens's reply:
