    Magical experience

    The gardens were absolutely stunning, and the venue was super quick to respond to all of our questions regarding glass, trash, real-flame candles, or size of the tent. They were super accommodating and super flexible with us. Some minor things to keep in mind for future couples utilizing these Gardens is you’re going to have to rent out catering and any other services you want including a dance floor. The golf carts were relatively unhelpful because there were multiple times that the older women that we rented the golf carts for couldn’t find the golf carts to take them where they needed to go. The bathrooms were locked when we first arrived, which was problematic for some of the women who wanted to get ready. Overall, our guests were extremely pleased with our garden experience, and they loved exploring the gardens during the cocktail hour, and throughout the rest of the evening. All of our photos, including just photos taken on iPhones also turned out incredible because of the beautiful Gardens.
