Emma Clingerman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-03-2018 Two thumbs up. Reviewed on 11-06-2018
Kaitlin Raley(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2014 The venue is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Reviewed on 14-10-2014
Emily Fleming(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2014 The gardens were a beautiful place for a summer wedding. We also rented Ricketts Hall for the reception, and it was a great choice. They provide tables and chairs, but you must set up and take down afterwards. Be sure to clean everything VERY well to get back security deposit. Reviewed on 01-07-2014
Deidraeh Howell(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-05-2014 The place is very pretty but you have to pay extra for a staff member and a guard after you pay 1400 for the place and it is per hour... That is really the only bad thing you have to leave before 12 Reviewed on 18-06-2014
Lacy Ruben(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2013 Gorgeous area for weddings! Reviewed on 07-01-2014
Krista Dyess(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2012 Beautiful gardens in full bloom! Absolutely gorgeous place for an outdoor wedding! They have multiple places for pictures...a gazebo, fountains, an arbor, a koi pond, a rose garden, an old wooden bridge in the woods, etc. etc. The alter area for most weddings is beautiful surrounded by large bay magnolias...perfect for that Southern outdoor wedding! It's the perfect place! There is an indoor venue for the reception too. Reviewed on 25-05-2012
