“The Gardens Of Castle Rock is a phenomenal wedding venue. They were an essential part of our miracle wedding – Planned at record speed between the time we first toured and met with them and the wedding day, about two weeks later #covidwedding. Through their gorgeous site and the assistance they gave us, we truly had a beautiful wedding. Glen’s skillful & artistic craftsmanship that has gone into much of the buildings and wooden structures gave it a unique, personal, and beautiful flair. We believe any couple would be fortunate to get married at The Gardens. We’re so grateful they’re a part of our story.” – Elise & Renato

“The space itself is stunning! Glenn truly takes pride in the place his family has maintained and improved for so many decades. I loved having ample space for our friends and family to roam and supporting a family owned and operated business was the cherry on top for me and my husband. If you’re looking for a place to host a gathering at a venue with flexible catering and liquor options, I’d recommend checking out The Gardens!” – Marie & Leo

“Simply outstanding. The Gardens exceeded all of our expectations – everything went off without a hitch. We absolutely loved the flexibility of the venue and staff. The unique ability to choose your own venue within the site, caterer and all other vendors allows for a personal touch that can’t be matched in many other Minneapolis wedding venues. Glenn and the staff were very impressive, constantly working to make the Gardens the best it can truly be.” – Allison & Elliott

“We couldn’t possibly have asked for a better experience than the one we had at The Gardens of Castle Rock. The Gardens made our dreams come to life. Our wedding was magical and I can’t count how many people have complimented the venue! Even our vendors were blown away by its beauty and versatility. I especially loved being able to bring in what we wanted and not being confined to preferred caterers. The Gardens really made it possible to design everything about the day to suit our personalities! I feel so lucky we found this venue.” – Julia & Sam

“We were looking for a place that was rustic and rural, yet flexible so we could have a big Indian wedding. This was it, and we are so happy with our experience. Not only is the venue super flexible – we weren’t tied to their caterer or bar service, which was key for us – but they went totally above and beyond for us. Our wedding was so beautiful, everyone loved the venue, and we are so happy we chose The Gardens.” – Bidisha & Brian
