Lara Cemo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 I had my wedding here at Sonnenberg Gardens. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to get married. When I saw the ceremony site at the wedding rehearsal, I was overcome with joyous tears. I couldn't stop crying because it was everything I hoped it would be and I was so excited to get married to my husband there the next day. The ceremony site was stunning and the grounds were a perfect backdrop for photos. Kris, the venue coordinator, was a joy to work with. She was attentive and answered all my many, many questions promptly. I highly recommend getting married here if you are in the market. The Sonnenberg team is lovely, professional, and kind. And the gardens are truly gorgeous. I couldn't have asked for a more magical and beautiful day. Reviewed on 26-09-2022

She encouraged my vision I had for the ceremony and reception. The gardens were beautiful the day of the wedding and the tent itself was gorgeous! I couldn’t have asked for a better day or venue.

Brianne Ellis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-07-2019 Having visited Sonnenberg Gardens quite a bit growing up, I was nervous the gardens wouldn't be as special as a new venue. I couldn't have been more wrong, Sonnenberg was more magical than I could have ever imagined! Deb, Private Event's Manager was such a gem! I was planning the wedding from afar but she went above and beyond to accommodate me and my husband. She made sure we were able to tour the gardens when we were able to get in town and she made arrangements to help my mother who has limited mobility. The day of the wedding, Deb and her team made sure I had everything I needed and the event ran smoothly! Our guests have not stopped raving about how naturally beautiful our wedding was! From the tent, to the ceremony spaces, if you are looking for an enchanted outdoor space, Sonnenberg is the perfect place for you! Reviewed on 05-09-2019

Laura Blodgett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-06-2016 We didn’t want to do a formal, sit-down rehearsal dinner, so we planned a cocktail style/garden party for all of our guests that were in town the evening before the wedding at Sonnenberg. The grounds are absolutely stunning; lots of beautiful gardens and the freedom to roam anywhere you like. They actually drove all of our guests up to the mansion and main area in carts, which they all loved. The mansion in the center is incredible, and has a huge veranda, where we were able to put a band, a bar, several food stations, numerous tables for our guests, and still had tons of room to spare. Planning with Deborah was seamless, definitely recommend for a beautiful venue! Reviewed on 26-07-2016
Jennifer Higgins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-08-2012 My husband and I chose Sonnenberg Gardens for the site of our outdoor wedding ceremony after being awed by the beauty of the gardens and historic mansion. We had the ceremont at the belvedere with about 25 guests and it was perfect. Deb and Sherry were very helpful throughout the wholeplanning process. Wouldn't have changed a thing!

Bridgette Fries(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2011 beautiful location, wonderful wine tasting area where we went for pictures in between the reception and the wedding! gorgeous gardens. Reviewed on 08-08-2011
Sherry Rhodes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2011 My now-husband & I knew we wanted to get married outside, have the reception inside, & not have to drive between locations because of so many out-of-town guests. Sonnenberg Gardens fit the bill perfectly. The mansion & grounds have just had a huge upgrade & they are beautiful...the usual wedding site is between the Rose Garden & the Old-Fashioned Perennial Garden, w/a lovely gazebo as the \"altar.\" The staff at Sonnenberg was very professional, very helpful, & very willing to accommodate us. We used the Carriage House for our reception, as it was less expensive & was just about the size we needed (max. 99 guests). Many of our guests arrived early to take advantage of free admission to the grounds & mansion & every single person raved about how beautiful of a location we had chosen. We would recommend Sonnenberg to anyone! Reviewed on 14-07-2011
Justine Robinson(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2008 The guests had access to tour the Mansion and Gardens. The Grounds were beautiful and we were allowed to go just about anywhere to take pictures. The site staff was very proficent in wedding hosting and were very polite and knowldegeable.;The cost can be a deterant. Reviewed on 27-03-2009
