“The Gardens had everything I was looking for in a venue: ability to bring in the caterer of our choosing, an outdoor ceremony location (they have four different ones you can choose from!), a tented reception, a big lawn for playing games, and a fireplace and patio for guests to mingle around. Literally perfect! Not to mention, the gardens are absolutely GORGEOUS.” ~ Brittany
