Dine and dance either outdoors in our 30'x60' lighted high peak event tent or indoors in our historic chapel or schoolhouse. We make a great venue for gatherings of friends, family and co-workers. Regardless if it is a wedding, corporate function, holiday party, family or class reunion, our historic buildings and beautiful grounds are the perfect place for a private party.
We do everything we can to make your event uniquely yours. No need for your guests to be stuck with the boring meat and pasta options. A custom menu can be created based upon YOUR tastes. With that said, here are some choices that others have selected for wowing their guests with some culinary flair.
The Gardens offers either a cash or hosted bar in a few different combinations and locations through out the property. If your event is for more than 100 guests, we highly suggest the use of more than one bar service location. Per state law, carry-ins are not permitted anywhere or at any time on the property.
Photo and video are an important part of remembering and sharing your day at The Gardens. Who you select also plays an essential role in how well your day flows. Choosing a proven professional who knows the property will be able to get you back to your loving guests faster due to not needing to find the right backdrop.

Where do I even begin!? I knew from the beginning of my engagement I wanted to get married here. We didn’t even tour any other venues. The whole gardens family was so warm, welcoming and really made everything… so easy for our special day! They go over whatever vision you have and make it happen. We had a beautiful brunch wedding. They will customize everything for you and give you tips and tricks along the way. We couldn’t have done to without Johan, Julie, Amanda, Kent and Grace. Johan is the Garden master. He keeps the grounds and rehabs everything you pretty much see from

Fantastic. My son Derrek and his now wife were wed here this last Saturday. Probably the best venue we could have hoped for. Excellent surroundings. Fabulous food. The Band, Copper Box, was great. Photography was also top tier. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an all inclusive event. Simply the best.

The Gardens team is an outstanding team of event pros that feel like they are part of your family. The grounds at the Gardens provided us with the most dreamy and magical setting that we could ask for. Our wedding was at the end of July and the garden was in full bloom with the most lush and gorgeous flowers and landscape, something our guests (and our photographers!) still rave about. The gardens team went above and beyond for us from day one - they were extremely responsive and easy to work with. We know our guests provided a challenge and they truly stepped up to the plate and met all our needs

Really awesome venue. Ended up attending a themed wedding here and it was just fablous. The garden is well maintained and beautiful, and the food was some of the best I've had when it came to wedding catering.
The bride and groom were so happy, and while unfortunately some of the guests didn't behave themselves (every wedding am I right?) The owner and staff were really cool about the whole thing and handled it with dignity and professionalism. I know they also talked about how you can also do smaller events there which I thought was cool. The owner told me about how they did a small dinner and

Thank you to The Gardens for hosting a spectacular wedding. We got married here in May 2021 and could not have imagined a more perfect venue or venue staff. Amanda, Johann, and Chef Kent created an absolutely magical day. Their attention to detail is phenomenal. We wanted a fountain of Chick-Fil-A sauce and a waffle bar - Chef Kent went above and beyond to make these things happen. Amanda was punctual and professional in all communication and was a wonderful day-of coordinator. Johann keeps the garden impeccably maintained, and continuously improves on the venue. The aesthetic of The Gardens was

From the moment we started planning with the Gardens team, it was so simple and communication was amazing! Their constant attention to detail made sure that our day yesterday was actually perfect! We had… potential for storms yesterday but the sun and rain cooperated enough for us to have our ceremony outside, our dinner inside with a great dance party in the tent. Johan, Amanda, Gracie, Julie and Kent, thank you so much for helping create a wonderful wedding atmosphere for our magical day! Everyone was so impressed with everything including the food!!! We had well fed guests the whole night

We got married there 3 weeks ago, and if I could give this venue more than 5 stars I definitely would!! I can't say enough good things, they are AMAZING!!! The venue is beyond beautiful and unique, and the customer service is remarkable! Johan and Amanda (and the whole staff) made everything so seamless and stress free, and were very accommodating! They were VERY responsive throughout the planning process (which was all done via email). We had to change our wedding date and we lucked out finding this GEM, and that they were willing to host our group on a day that they were supposed to have off

The Gardens was a magical experience this past weekend for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. The entire staff was incredible with the genuine care and immediate attention to every detail. Johan, Amanda,… Gracie and Chef Kent made the day everything the Bride and Groom dreamed of. We had compliments from our guests about the beauty of the venue, the AMAZING food, and the impressive staff. It is truly a secret garden and the perfect outdoor venue for a wedding. If I could give a 10 star rating I would!!⭐️

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had ! Everything went smoothly and they were able to help out when some things got left at home with there own decorations ! I really appreciated that. The music was… perfect , set up was on time and food was amazing ! They accommodated my coffee and coco bar which people loved and a pizza truck! I’m trying to figure out what other party ideas I can throw together to have another event at this amazing venue ! Thanks for all great memories and good luck with your baby!!

Being a wedding photographer, I am privileged enough to see many venues across the state and witness how they operate throughout the couple’s special day. I can say, without a doubt, the wonderful family team… at The Gardens Wedding Center is the best team I have had the privilege of working beside. Since the moment I arrived, the hospital was above and beyond. I felt so welcomed so I can only imagine how the Bride & Groom felt. The entire day was so organized, ran smoothly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the entire venue was a photographer’s dream. I could easily

I got married here on April 23rd, 2021 & it was the most magical, & absolutely perfect wedding my husband & I could have ever imagined. We are so thankful our dreams came to life thanks to this beautiful venue, and amazing staff. Amanda, Johan, and the rest of the crew really stepped up to make sure we had any and everything we wanted for our… special day. I really appreciated how involved they were in our planning, making sure we were all on the same page so we got exactly what we wanted! They helped with set up, and take down which made it go smoothly! My dad got married here

I can’t even begin to find the words to describe this beautiful, amazing venue!! My daughter and now son were married here and it was just magical. I really feel like we had stepped into a fairytale. From the moment we toured and were greeted by Amanda and Johan to the planning, menu tasting and everything leading up to the big day was amazing!! I… can’t say enough wonderful things. The wedding itself was beautiful in the chapel and the reception was just lovely. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend this to everyone. Our family and friends insist this has been the best
