    My 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.

    Thank you so much, Lupe! I loved all your touches, especially the unbelievably adorable ring bearer! We wish you and Godfrey so much happiness!

    The 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!

    Beautiful wedding spot

    My daughters wedding venue was forced to cancel only 19 hours before the ceremony due to flooding from hurricane Ian. Rockledge Gardens stepped up to save the day. The wonderful event coordinator worked with us to get us in to view the available space and get contracts out to us within a couple of short hours. The moment we walked into the Riley Room we knew we were in the right spot, The events coordinator was absolutely amazing! Everything was beyond wonderful. It was the perfect venue with stunning photo opportunities throughout the grounds to capture the couple’s special day. My daughters wedding was tiny, but the accommodations for larger weddings were stunning. I would highly recommend Rockledge Gardens as a wedding venue for anyone looking for the perfect garden wedding atmosphere.

    Rockledge Gardens's reply:

    Hi Kelly,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are honored to be able to step in and make the day even more special. Your wedding was just as special for us!

    Sincerely,
    RGW team

    The 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!

    Amazing 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.

    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.

    Picturesque 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!

    Everything 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.

    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!

    Best day of my life.

    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!

    Beautiful garden setting for wedding & great event staff

    I had my wedding here in early March. It was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! The plant nursery is idyllic for photos, especially during the Spring. The event staff is great to work with, as they are very helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. If i could do it all over again, it would be exactly the same!

    Best day ever!

    If you are considering Rockledge Gardens for your wedding, book them now. The venue was incredible!: Beautiful flowers everywhere, ample bathrooms, incredible ceremony space, a built in bar and fire pit., small playground for kids, farmers market building, gorgeous getting ready spaces.. the perks go on and on.

    Working with the venue was very easy leading up to the big day. Everything was communicated and executed in a timely and professional manner. We had venue staff on hand the day of to help with anything we needed. Venue staff lead the ceremony and helped coordinate the shift from ceremony to party mode! Highly recommend this venue space.

    Rockledge Gardens's reply:

    Grayson, thank you for such kind words! We just got your pictures back and can't wait to showcase the beautiful love between you and Camille!

    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!

    Wonderful place to have a wedding!

    Rockledge Gardens made our wedding unique and special. Liz and Jessica were very kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. They always answered our questions promptly. We were in between two venues and ended up choosing Rockledge Gardens because of their down to earth attitude and customer service. It was also a meaningful venue for us as it is an educational and nature-focused space. We heard many compliments from guests about our unique wedding and venue.

    Rockledge Gardens allows you to customize your wedding in many ways. We did not want a DJ but they have a great sound system that you can plug and AUX cord into and be your own DJ. They are flexible with catering and other vendors, allowing us to bring in a Syrian food caterer from Jacksonville who grilled kebabs for us on the property. We also had 6 rescue dogs walk down the aisle with our wedding party and attend the wedding. Our theme was very colorful and international and they allowed us to hang garlands over the cocktail space. I also wanted a non-traditional floor plan and Jessica helped me map it out and make it happen. We had a huge wedding party and Jessica and other staff helped keep everyone on track. Sustainability is important to us and they helped us with compostable and recyclable containers for waste. Guests enjoyed playing the yard games they have including giant jenga and cornhole. They also have great options like live plant centerpieces and favors. Liz and Jessica can also offer vendor recommendations if you need a starting point! We ended up using several of their recommendations including The Lemons Photography and Kimberley Tucker wedding coordinator.

    Evenings are beautiful at the gardens, and you really don't need much decor as the plants and flowers speak for themselves. Highly recommend Rockledge Gardens for your wedding or event! Thank you to Liz, Jessica, and all the Rockledge Gardens staff!

    -Gage and Doruk

    Rockledge Gardens's reply:

    Thank you so much, Gage! We loved your commitment sustainability and causes that matter to you and how you made that a part of your wedding vision from the start. Wishing you and Doruk a lifetime of laughter and happiness!

    Outstanding!

    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!

    Helpful, 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!

    A Beautiful Wedding Venue with Charm

    Rockledge Gardens was the perfect venue for me and my husband to get married! Our wedding was in early March and all the flowers were blooming, it was gorgeous. There are a hundred beautiful backdrops for photos. When the sun went down, the string lights came on and the fire started and it just turns the whole venue into a magical place. All of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. The staff is continuously improving and beautifying the venue. Liz was great to work with and Jessica helped me so much on the day-of with last minute decisions and helping me with my dress. Thank you to all the staff, we had a wonderful day.

    Rockledge Gardens's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jen! You and Eric were absolutely a pleasure to work with and we wish you so much happiness in your marriage!
