Services
Upfront Cost: We're different. Many venues will give you a starting price, but we want you to have the final, total, upfront cost, with no hidden fees, and we feel as though a face to face meeting is the best way to do so. For that reason, you won't find any definitive pricing on our website. We want to meet you; to see what your vision is, to see what all we can provide for you, and to make sure we're the right fit for you.
Warm and inviting, with hardwood floors and chandeliers throughout, the Loft & Terrace will make your guests feel at home immediately. This is the perfect venue for guest lists of 50-150. This venue boasts a beautiful outdoor terrace seating and ceremony area, perfect for a warm summer night to gaze up at the stars.
For those couples with a mid-sized guest list of 125-250, this Wedding Garden is the perfect fit. If you're searching for a scenic and secluded garden away from the hustle and bustle of Carbondale, but still centrally located to make life easy for your guests, this is the venue for you.

The Garden features a beautiful courtyard with natural foliage and greenery, a pond, a fountain behind the pergola on which you will say, "I Do, " and a sweet garden seating area with its own water feature.Inside the venue, you will find a large space with vaulted ceilings, an area reserved specifically for your head table, a beautifully reclaimed wood bar, and LED lighting that can be customized to match your wedding colors.
For those with a large guest list of 250-350, this venue is the perfect setting for your beautiful wedding. With stunning cedar beams adorned with flowering vines and flowing white draping, a courtyard lined with beautifully lit trees and a water feature behind, the ceremony space is one that stuns.
From an extravagant wedding to a weekly meeting in the office, Garden Grove is your source for all things catering. We can provide delicious food made from scratch for any event! We do everything from going over menu possibilities, to providing a tasting to help you choose your menu, to delivering and serving your chosen meal the day of your event.

The Loft and Terrace is beautiful. There is plenty of seating, a spacious dance floor, a nice bar, and much more. The walk down the aisle on the Terrace is beautiful!

The coordinator was nice, the venue had a cheesy cliche atmosphere and not very personable. It felt very rush in, rush out get the wedding done. The Bridal suite was a hedious green that reminded me of Slime. The whole venue had a office look and feel. I would not recommend this venue if you are looking for Romantic Elegance, this venue is not that.

My son and daughter-in-law was going to have their wedding reception there, to make a long story short he got cancer and passed away before the date. And they would not refund the money what a bad place. Take your business wherever else you can go but not here.

Just had my reception at Garden Grove yesterday, and I can't recommend them enough. Throughout the wedding planning, they were very professional and flexible, and often stayed late to meet with me. They gave great advice and tips during the months leading up to the event, and were very efficient with their planning and organization. Their staff is really just wonderful and very open and accommodating, and they set-up the room the day before so that we could go in to decorate and check things out. Their food is excellent, and I received many comments from my guests regarding how good the food was

My husband and I just got married in May and had our reception at The Wedding Garden. Not only did we love the venue, but our guests did too! From the very beginning of our wedding planning, The Garden Grove staff was extremely professional and friendly, and they made pulling off our fairy tale wedding effortless! I highly recommend this incredible venue and cannot thank them enough for the unforgettable evening they created for us!!!

What can I say? Our wedding was absolutely perfect and went off without a hitch thanks to these guys! They were insanely accommodating from our first meeting in December to our wedding in October and seemed genuinely interested and excited for our wedding. Our coordinator, Jacqueline, was seriously Superwoman! They were prompt to respond to any questions and super easy to work with. The venue was gorgeous and the food was incredible. We had so many compliments from our guests about our wedding and it is all because of the awesome staff and venue. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change

I have had the privilege in doing wedding here. Melissa and Amy are great to work with. They really know how to take care of their brides and grooms and go above and beyond what is expected just to make sure everyone is happy. All 3 venues here are beautiful. It's my favorite place to play. If you want a beautiful place to get married and or just have a reception, where you never have to worry about anything. This is where you need to be.
