    Such a beautiful venue!!

    We loved everything about Tryphenas Gardens Venue. It has a Tuscany vibe and so many beautiful places to have the ceremony that it was hard for my daughter to decide. Everything went smooth, from the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception. Tryphenas is definitely a hidden gem.

    What a beautiful venue!

    I loved working with Clara. She made everything easy and shameless. I didn't always know exactly what I wanted and some things didn't go quite according to plan, but she was so helpful and kind about everything. The venue was beautiful. We got so many wonderful pictures with trees, the lake, and the gazebo. Yes the sun sets right behind the lake (in October), and it's magical. We got our fairytale wedding here.

    The Venue at Tryphena's Garden's reply:

    Thank you, Shelby! You and Alex were a dream to work with. We are so glad to know that you had your fairytale wedding!

    Perfect Wedding!

    Tryphena's has a beautiful atmosphere that can be seen at every corner of the property. The venue owners take great care of the property and spray for bugs and have a variety of plants and florals that ensure there is always something blooming as the seasons change. We were able to meet at the venue for a tour and ask and have all our questions answered. We were even provided a list of vendors that are trusted and have experience from being at the venue before. The layout is also great for flexibility. We used the outdoor spaces for our ceremony and mocktail hour and the indoor space for our reception. The large fountain was perfect for the ceremony and sounded peaceful as the water flowed through it. The venue owners are super helpful and ensure that the layout and set up is perfect. The privacy and space for the bridal and groom suite is perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. There's easy access for the vendors to park and set up as well. We were looking for the perfect venue that offered the Tuscan garden look (although the rustic barn look is beautiful it's just not our style) and Tryphena's definitely delivered. We were able to have the perfect ceremony where our guests could walk through the gardens to the fountain draped in florals and then enjoyed being in the courtyard for mocktail hour where guests could still be in the gardens while enjoying food and drinks. Guests were able to easily transition into the reception space lit by the three beautiful chandeliers and wall sconces that are able to be dimmed to make the lighting perfect depending on the time of day. The gorgeous french doors that surrounded the reception space offered views to the gardens and added to the European aesthetic. We had our sweetheart table set up in front of the arched french doors that has greenery vines outlining the shape of it. The other side of the doors has a grand terrace covered with greenery that's perfect for photos. We had around 100 guests that fit perfectly in the space and included the buffet set up, cake table and gift table. On the other side of the reception space has a string light patio with plants and views of the gardens that was perfect for dancing. All our guests fit comfortably in the space and our dj was able to set up on the grass in front of the space. There's also a bar table on the other end of the patio that would be perfect for those who include drinks but we used it to set up our sparkler exit supplies which turned out great. Our guests were able to line up on both sides of the walkway from the string light patio that leads to the parking lot and light the way for our exit. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have been happier with the experience.

    Thank you, Taylor! You and your family where an absolute joy to serve. The pictures came out so good!

    The most beautiful venue!

    I can’t say enough good things about this venue! It is so beautifully maintained and picturesque. Clara was super attentive and easy to contact throughout the entire planning process. The entire venue is beautiful on its own, so I needed minimal decor (which helped save SO much money). The day of my wedding, I asked for a change to the seating arrangement to be made and they were so accommodating and made it happen! 10/10 would recommend this gorgeous venue.

    Hi Mara,
    It was a pleasure to host your beautiful wedding! Thank you for your review.

    Amazing Venue!

    My husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Venue at Tryphena's Garden April 2021. The overall experience was AMAZING and I’m beyond grateful to have found the venue. We instantly fell in love with the view of the lake, beautiful gardens, the sense of privacy and knew it was the perfect location for us. Mrs. Clara is a such sweetheart, professional and was very accommodating with long distance planning. Thank you so much for making our day beautiful.

    My amazing wedding with The Venue at Tryphena’s Garden

    Tryphena’s Garden is THE place to get married if you’re looking for the perfect venue. It made my big day a fairytale and was truly breathtaking. Clara, the venue owner was very professional, understanding, and accommodating. I also would recommend her as your day of coordinator if you want your day to go by smoothly. She made it easy and I (the bride) did not have to worry or stress about anything. This is the place for outdoor weddings. Book them

    The Venue at Tryphena's Garden's reply:

    Thank you, Chelsea! We truly enjoyed being able to host your gorgeous wedding day! Your vision was true Garden elegance.

    My experience was nothing short of amazing!

    The Venue at Tryphenas Garden is a beautiful and amazing location, nestled on the most amazing land surround by florals, greenery and a beautiful lake. It was absolutely a dream to have my wedding there. But not only is the venue amazing, it is run by a beautiful person, Clara Bixler. Clara is wonderful. Clara was extremely accommodating and made sure all of our needs were met. Clara provided us with all information that was needed to make our day special. We couldn't have asked for better customer service.

    March 23, 2019 Wedding

    It was exactly what we expected. Clara was direct when it came to our value and expectations of the venue. The wedding planning process went very smoothly because of this. The garden itself was immaculate and our guest enjoyed the scenery. The price for the venue was very reasonable, chairs, tables, and lines were included. Our day was absolutely perfect and we would chose Tryphena’s all over again.

    Breathtakingly Beautiful!! Clara was the perfect wedding coordinator and not only met our every need but anticipated them!

    Our daughter, Laura Beth, and her husband, Isaac, were married at The Venue at Tryphena’s Garden on March 9, 2019 on a glorious sunshine-filled day! I cannot adequately describe the absolute beauty of that day. Azaleas were budding as was the cherry blossom tree. The sunlight literally danced on the lake. The sounds of the running stream and fountains, birds...God blessed this day! This is literally the most beautiful place for a wedding! The Tuscan building where we held the reception was also beautiful and timeless. We could have been there in similar surroundings hundreds of years ago with the wood beams, beautiful doors and evergreen garden right outside. Yet the caterers’ kitchen, electrical set-up, accommodation for our live band was thoroughly modern. Clara was so very kind and made every step of the process so much easier. This was a true celebration of a forever love as evidenced by a pair of geese (who mate for life) landing on the lake during the ceremony. A beautiful venue for a beautiful beginning. 💞
    We highly recommend that you make your own wedding dreams come true at this perfect location.

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can’t recommend Clara and The Venue at Tryphena’s Garden enough! Our wedding was better than my husband and I could’ve dreamed. Clara made the whole experience so perfect and she helped bring our vision to life. We didn’t have a single worry on our wedding day, and the venue itself has so many options for the ceremony site and beautiful photos. Not sure what we would have done without Clara!

    Stunning Venue!

    Words cannot adequately describe the beauty of this venue! There is nowhere else in Middle Georgia that even comes close. The gardens and the indoor areas are straight out of an Italian villa. Plenty of room for even large weddings. The best of all is Clara! She did so much to make everything perfect for my daughter's wedding. She jumped right in and made things so much easier on us to get things ready and she has great ideas! We also hired her as our wedding coordinator....one of the best decisions we made! She is such a sweet lady. Highly recommend! My daughter had her dream wedding!

    After looking at four other wedding venues, we knew almost immediately driving up at first glance that The Venue at Tryphena's Garden was the place to be. Honestly, I thought the venue would be above the wedding budget we set for our daughter and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it wasn't. Also, hiring Clara as the Wedding Coordinator was a great investment! She made the wedding day stress-free so that all we really had to do was enjoy the special day. She was very easy and professional to work with, too! If we had to do this wedding all over again, we wouldn't change a thing!!! The wedding was amazing and I give much credit to Clara Bixler of The Venue at Tryphena's Garden. Thanks so very much, Clara!

    My husband and I got married at Tryphena’s Garden a week and a half ago. From the moment we first toured the venue and met with Clara, we were in love with the place. It was the first venue we toured, and when we got in the car to leave after our tour, he turned to me and said, “Sooo, how much do you want to keep looking?” And I said, “I kinda don’t.” We knew within the first hour of seeing the venue that it would be perfect for us. We got married in June, outside, in the evening. I am mildly allergic to ants and mosquitos, and I don’t know of any bites anyone got besides two random ones on my arm that I got while taking pictures. Clara’s husband sprays the venue and they get rid of mosquitos easily that way. We did have a lot of gnats to deal with during our wedding, but Clara was up-front about those being something they couldn’t get rid of from the beginning. We hired Clara as our day-of coordinator and she was amazing and super helpful the day of as well as leading up to the wedding. We brought in decorations to the venue and Clara and her team set everything up perfectly; I didn’t have to worry or lift a finger. Everything was top-notch, and all our guests have raved about how beautiful the place was! I absolutely recommend this place 100%. It’s dreamy! And it really is all you hope it will be when you first see it.

    I have been told over and over again from my family that our wedding was one of the best they had ever been to. Why? Because of the venue. The day was stunning in the beautiful gardens, just before I walked out a huge flock of white birds took off in the field next to us. The fountain next to the lake was intimate, quiet, and beautiful. All of our photos came out stunning because of the great spots around the gardens! As the evening progressed, family and friends walked around outside in the gardens together under a full moon, they spent time meeting each other, and that is because the venue permitted that sense of communion. Clara was great, she was there to help every step of the way and made sure the place looked stunning. She was so flexible and truly becomes your friend for your big day. The best part is her vendors' list all know each other and each are 5 stars in themselves. This is a great place to get married and Clara made the process easy. I cannot express enough that having her made the event what it was, not only did she do things I would have never known how to do (like table arranging), but she remembered things I completely forgot (like a table for the guest book). I live in California and could not have planned this without her support! I am so thankful for this amazing place, it made my wedding day a dream.

    We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the inside to the outside, everything was beautiful. The gardens are a perfect setting for any wedding imaginable and have a romantic whimsical tone through out. Our coordinator Clara made our experience even that much more perfect. She was on top of everything and made the process run smoothly.

    My daughter's wedding was such a beautiful experience. I can't say enough about Clara Bixler. She handled all affairs with such professionalism from the planning stage to the very end of the night. This is a beautiful venue, exceptionally well managed with exquisite grounds and Clara was the perfect Director. She made my daughter's wedding day perfect for all of us. No worries, no problems, just a beautiful experience all around. I highly recommend this venue and her services.

    What a perfect ending to a beautifully, magically day!! Tropical storm Nate crashed our party in the morning and then moved on out of the way for our picturesque ceremony, fun reception and even gave us a beautiful sunset. Tryphena's Garden is the most magical, beautiful venue I have seen. The gardens are so pretty there is no need for outside decorations. It was easy to choose for our special day. The bride room and grooms rooms are very nicely decorated with plenty of electrical outlets that are much needed for the bride and bridesmaids curling irons, cell phones and speakers for your favorite jams. Clara was a wonderful coordinator and on top of everything She has definitely found her gift! ! I never had to worry about a thing. She handled ever issue that came up, including a tropical storm! I highly recommend The Venue at Tryphena's Garden!

    I celebrated my 60th birthday party at Tryphena's Garden and everything went perfectly without a hitch. Even though I came from Macon it was very easy to find and get to. All of my friends from many parts of the country that came had no trouble finding the venue. Everything went exceptionally well! Thank you, Clara, for everything you did to make this a very special night! You're the best!

    This venue allows you to bring in all of your own vendors!!! They help in anyway they can. My only concern (which was very small) is a sign they have at the entrance that they put the bride & groom names on. It was broken for my wedding and the owners were away for the event. They had friends in place to help the same way they would've they even surprised me when I arrived the morning of our wedding there it was!!! The sign just made my whole mood lighter! I took it as a sign not to stress and that everything was abt to be perfect, and it was!

    The venue is absolutely breathtaking. I got married in February and could not have had a more beautiful day. I want to encourage brides to consider a winter wedding (even though it was warm on my day). The gardens are still flawless and the lighting was perfect. There are so many places to take pictures. We took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures there and didn't use the same areas twice. My guests enjoyed the space during cocktail hour and got several of their own pictures. Clara is fantastic to work with and she is well networked. It was so nice to have somebody so organized help me find other vendors. I love this venue and my guests loved it as much as I did.

    Beautiful venue! Expertly managed! Working with Clara was a delight. She put us right at ease and was a huge help in the planning. As a plus, Clara was in contact with the photographer and caterer ahead of time. Choosing Tryphena's Garden for my daughter's wedding was one the best decisions ever. There's so much included in their price, which took a ton of work off of us, so we could just focus on the fun of an unforgettable wedding.

    Choosing this venue truly made me a stress free bride. Clara is amazing and does her job so well. Her guidance on planning, drafting a timeline, and help with setup was so great and made me feel much more prepared, especially with the shorter than average engagement that my husband and I wanted :) With rain and even some hail on our wedding day, the ceremony was perfect thanks to Clara's last-minute coordinating and scheduling adjustments. She was so helpful throughout our engagement and invaluable the day of our wedding.

    Tryphenas Garden was the perfect place for my whimsical wedding! It is a beautiful venue that can fit so many different wedding themes. Clara is very helpful and quick to respond to questions. They have a bridal suite and groom suite which are great for getting ready photos. Also there are different spots that you can choose to have your ceremony. You are not limited to anything at this venue and you can incorporate your style very easily! My wedding day was awesome and I would recommend this venue to everyone!

    I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day! Clara made sure every little detail (a big ones too!) were taken care of and completely relieved me of any stresses on the wedding day and leading up to it. They have a wonderful team there who keeps the grounds looking beautiful and all the decorations too. I will never stop recommending Tryphenas Garden to those looking for a venue in middle GA!

    Tryphena's Garden is the perfect place to have a wedding. I had the wedding of my dreams there. The day was perfect and one I will never forget. Clara was very helpful throughout the entire process. She went as far as even assisting me with table decorations and locating candles for me to use during the Unity Candle portion of the ceremony. The gardens were exquisite and the venue is a very lovely place.

    If you need a wedding coordinator, Clara is OUTSTANDING!!!! I really don't know if my daughter's wedding would have gone so smoothly if it wasn't for her. The property is very beautiful and it lives up to it's name, GARDEN - a hidden oasis. Anybody needing a location for whatever type of event, you won't be disappointed.

    Tryphena's Garden is nothing short of fairy tale wedding setting! The one phrase that was frequently used throughout our wedding day is "breath taking", and it was nothing short of that! On top of an awesome venue, Clara Bixler is the best venue manager/ wedding day coordinator that I could have asked for! From the day we booked the venue in January she made sure I was on top of wedding decisions, and when they were made she kept note of it. When it came to the week of my wedding she made it as stress-free as she could. She called all my vendors to set up times, and deliveries. I would highly recommend this venue, and the wonderful Clara Bixler to anyone looking for an awesome venue with awesome help!

    This was by far the best venue we could have booked. Tryphenas gardens was absolutely stunning and Clara spent a lot of time making sure our wedding day was perfect. The day before our wedding, a large storm hit, and Clara was on top of it with the grounds crew and made everything look perfect for our wedding day. The organization and prompt follow up on all of our questions was second to none. Beautiful venue inside and out.

    If you have any fears that something won't get done or won't be handled efficiently/professionally, with Clara and Tryphena's garden you will not have to worry about that at all. Every issue or bump in the road was dealt with in the best way, and because of Clara our day was 100% perfect!

    The Venue at Tryphena's Garden is fantastic and so much more. After looking at a number of beautiful venues in Georgia, our middle daughter chose the same venue that her sister got married at four years ago because it had what she wanted.

    The Venue is beautiful!!! Look at the pictures, or better yet visit. The gardens are special any time of year, and were especially colorful at Jenna's October 1 wedding. Tryphena was tending to the gardens on both rehearsal and wedding days. The gardens, the building, the pond - they all work perfectly together.

    I cannot say enough good things about Clara, who manages the weddings at the venue. She is very detail oriented, focused on perfection, an excellent communicator and just a very nice person. Nothing is left to chance.

    Jenna and Les' wedding day was perfect! The ceremony was close to the pond. The trees and gardens along the east side of the pond shade the venue from the late day sun, making for a comfortable environment for guests and very good lighting for pictures.

    The venue easily accommodated the wedding party and guests, about 180 people, with no issues. Activities flowed from outside to inside seamlessly. Just a great venue!!!

    Many thanks to all those who helped make the day special, including Brandon and Lindsey of Macon Nite Life, Amber & Tyler of Amber Phinisee Photography, florist Frank, cakeologist (is there such a thing) Melissa, hair and makeup artists Jesi and Andrea, bartenders Lindsay and Amber, caterer Tina and crew, all the wedding party and guests, and especially Jenna and Les!!!

    Tryphena's Garden is the best wedding location in GA. The gardens are stunning all year round and Clara is such a joy to work with. I told her what I wanted my ceremony and reception to look like and it did! It was super easy and stress free. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made sure everything was exactly how we discussed.

    We had an amazing experience at The Venue at Tryphena's Garden. Clara was always ready to help in any way. She had great suggestions because of her experience. The venue is a beautiful place for a wedding.

    My daughter was very pleased and would not have changed a thing!!

    I would recommend Tryphena's to anyone that wants the best experience for their wedding.

    We called Clara Bixler in September 2014 to book our wedding for December 2014. She met with us a couple days after my initial call, described the decorations for the winter, and showed us pictures from past weddings.
    She provided us with a list of all of the items Tryphena's Garden provides (which includes tables, chairs, linens, shepherd's hooks, an arbor, etc.) as well as a list of potential vendors, which helped us get an A+ team.
    Because we had a small wedding party and a guest list of 80, Clara offered to include herself as coordinator as part of our package. We met two weeks before the wedding to plan the layout and timeline of events. She also contacted each of our vendors to confirm their arrival times.
    She and her staff set up everything for the event, and they cleaned everything after we finished. The evergreen garden was perfect for our ceremony. We stood in front of the water fountain and arbor. The woods and pond were directly behind us so the guests could see the sunset over the pond during the ceremony. She had white lights around the tree trunks, and it was lovely.
    Inside we had plenty of room. We were also able to utilize the bar outside for wine. There are two restrooms in the reception hall as well as bridal and groom suites. There is also a kitchen (not full service).
    That night we decided to go on the grounds for some romantic moonlit pictures. We were also able to get pictures on the swing that every bride should have a picture on as well as the beyond gorgeous gazebo with a chandelier.
    We were married on a mild day in December, and it did get a little warm on the dance floor (but I was also wearing a wedding dress with many layers). The reception hall does not have ceiling fans to help the air circulate. I could see the potential for it being warm in the summer.
    Overall, we can't say enough great things about Tryphena's Garden and its manager, Clara Bixler. She is a joy to work with and she keeps things as stress free as possible.

    We could not have asked for a better wedding venue to host our wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding was held outside near the water and a reception for 130 people was held inside. Our pictures in the garden were amazing, and many of our guests took awesome selfies in the garden and under the cabana. The lights at night make the venue look really eligant and supported our classic themed southern wedding. We even had a horse drawn carriage (by Horse Tails & Southern Belles) for our entrance and fireworks or our send off. Our wedding planner, Your Vision Events, made our day perfect. I'd recommend this venue and our wedding team to anyone.

    Wonderful venue...garden and lake are kept beautiful year round. No need to spend you money decorating outside...save it for inside to bring some color to the building for the reception. Perfect garden wedding place in middle georgia!

    Owner’s Husband Does Not Like People of Color!

    When I visited this venue I instantly fell in love! The view, the gardens and everything included. Mrs Clara was very pleasant. Always communicating, responding and being as helpful as possible. Fast Forward to my Wedding 04/06/2025 As much as I loved the venue my experience on wedding day was the worse! Mrs Claire was not present at my wedding instead she had her Husband Matthew to fill in. Well I quickly discovered Mr. Matthew is not too fond of Black People, He didn’t manage the property, he didn’t remain behind the scenes until needed. Instead Dressed in a T-Shirt, Jeans and Boots hovered my WHOLE WEDDING. He literally walked around my Beautifully decorated wedding wearing a bright yellow rain coat holding a Decibel Meter for hours! Leaving my guest to constantly ask who he was. He then proceeded to harass my vendors about small details, nick picking the entire time. My contract for my wedding was until 11pm. Matthew asked me to start taking my decorations down at 8:45pm. After telling me the music had to be off by 9:00 or brought inside I instructed my Dj to just end my reception at 9 due to everyone having to keep moving back and forth, Matthew decides to approach my Dj for the 5th time that evening about the music be too loud. After I had already told him to cut it at 9 anyway, Matthew then proceeds to get into a verbal altercation with my Dj in the middle of my reception!! Matthew sat in my reception area And watched my entire reception as if we were going to destroy something. He had to be asked several times up remove hisself from my photo back ground! He created such a weird energy for my first. I do not recommend anyone one of color to book here if you want to enjoy your wedding! They treated me, my guest and my vendors like we were there to destroy their property, so he decided it was best to just attend my wedding so he could watch us. PLEASE BEWARE!! I do not want someone else’s wedding ruined!

    The Venue at Tryphena's Garden's reply:

    Tryphena’s Garden strives to provide our clients with an excellent experience all around, to maintain this, one of the services we offer is an on-site property manager at the clients wedding day.

    The property managers are present to manage trash, answer questions relating to the venue, as well as ensure all contract agreements are upheld.

    All of our contracts state: Tryphena’s Garden reserves the right to lower the volume of the music at any time we deem it necessary. The music playing at the Fireplace Pavilion read between 90-100 decibels. Federal and local sound ordinances are limited to 80 decibels outside. For this reason, we did ask your DJ to lower the volume back to 80 decibels several times.

    The property manager present recalls assisting you with removing decorations at your request, but never requested you to remove decorations prematurely.

    As we did experience severe weather that day, the property manager was present to ensure he could activate the generator if we experienced a power-outage. Furthermore, the property manager was wearing a black raincoat, and business-casual attire due to weather conditions.

    Tryphena’s Garden refuses race prejudice at all times.
