Covington Gardens is an elegant wedding venue located in Pleasant Garden, NC, conveniently situated just a short distance from Greensboro. Owner Alexis Wilhelm has always loved helping people celebrate, and she's honored to get to work with to-be-weds as they plan their milestones. She understands that no two weddings are alike, and will work hard to make each one a bespoke experience.
Covington Gardens is a Victorian-style home fitted with modern conveniences. The house has retained some of its original features, like carved wooden floors, wall moldings, ceiling beams, and cabinets. The grounds, meanwhile, cover over seven acres and offer lush greenery and manicured gardens, perfect for photos. Ceremonies can be held at Carter Pond, which can comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests. From here, the newlyweds can lead the guests to a cocktail hour in The Meadow. Receptions will take place in the 4,000 square-foot Garden Pavilion, which has a white tent for cover from the weather. To-be-weds can get ready in the house, which has two get-ready suites, complete with floor-length mirrors and vanity areas. Parking is available on-site for guests.
Covington Gardens has a range of wedding packages for you to choose from, depending on your needs. There's also a weekend-long package for grand celebrations. Setup and cleanup are offered as part of these packages, giving you more time to spend with your loved ones. Tables and chairs are also provided for further convenience. Alexis will work with you to help make your dream a reality, however big it may be.
Having our wedding at Covington Gardens is a choice we would make all over again. Not only is the venue beautiful, but having the ceremony and reception sites on the same property allows the day to flow effortlessly...and my bridal party loved that we could hang out and get ready upstairs in the gorgeous bridal suite!Alexis is such a pleasure to work with and helped to guide us with any questions that we had to ensure the day was everything that we wanted. We have such sweet memories (and beautiful pictures and videos!) that we will cherish forever. We are so thankful that we had the privilege to get married here! Reviewed on 04-11-2023

Getting married at Covington Gardens was a dream! It was our easiest decision while wedding planning. We toured and booked within 24 hours and cancelled our other tours. We loved the victorian flare and that it was so different than any other venue we have been to. We wanted our wedding to be different. The venue is naturally beautiful so that took a huge pressure off of having the feeling to need to decorate the space. Several spaces are offered for ceremony, pictures, etc. The grounds are impeccable as well as communication with owner. All questions and needs were addressed in under 24 hours. Covington Gardens is a must see! Reviewed on 01-08-2023

Anna Marsh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2023 Covington gardens was such a perfect venue for us that we knew only one week after we got engaged that this is where we wanted to have our wedding. Our initial tour was during the early stages of the renovation process, but the plans Alexis (property owner) had for the venue made us fall in love. She was able to share her vision with us and showed us a venue with amazing greenery, a beautiful altar by the pond, and a reception area large enough for all of our friends and family. Not only was the venue amazing, but working with Alexis for the past few months has been a great experience in our wedding planning process. She has been easy to talk to and very accommodating in order to make our day perfect for us. She is always ready with answers to any questions I come to her with and she genuinely cares about my fiancé and I having the best wedding day possible. Over the past few months we have been so excited to get to celebrate our marriage at the venue with our friends and family and show off how beautiful it is. We would recommend this venue and working with Alexis over and over again to any couple searching for the perfect place to say their vows! Reviewed on 08-01-2023

Hey I’m Alexis! I have always loved a good party. I threw a masquerade ball in my parents backyard for my 17th birthday and invited well over 300 of my classmates. I like to go big or go home and in my mind nothing is too big to imagine or accomplish. When the opportunity to own a wedding venue came up, I was all in. I have always loved weddings, helping my friends plan their perfect day and seeing everything come to life. The oasis we are creating at Covington Gardens is something special. I am so excited for our couples to experience its magic on their wedding day!
