Just be aware that lots of weddings take place here and that there may be some confusion along the way. My best advice is, if you want beauty, go with this place, it is worth it. Overall, my guests were also overwhelming in love with the venue and it seemed to be a hit with everyone.

There was also some confusion on the day of, as my reception was set up to be outside and a photo shoot was also planned that day, but it was all sorted out and didn't really cause any major problems. There were some initial frustrations with getting the contract signed (it took over two months), but I felt it was worth it. On the whole the lady who handles the wedding planning, Jamie, was very helpful and easy to work with. It also had restroom and kitchen facilities for our guests and vendors to use, whereas my other garden choice did not. My fiance loved the exotic feel of the gardens and that it also had peacocks, and we didn't mind the rather loud screeches of the beautiful birds even in the background of our ceremony. Like I said earlier, our wedding day was perfect for us and we loved the location and the cabin, but not being greeted by the venue’s coordinator and having a random dog crash the wedding are the reasons we decided to rate this venue 4 stars. Angie was never around so we had no one to ask to remove the dog, and no one wanted to grab a dog that wasn’t theirs. No one knew who he belonged to and he was RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the aisle as the procession went down….the entire ceremony. There was also a stray dog roaming around the grounds that got in the middle of our pictures. We DID have our own day of coordinator so maybe that’s why she was more hands off, so I highly recommend hiring your own coordinator to make the night go smooth, because Angie’s job is more for organizing the venue’s workers not your own vendors. She was in the process of taking over the role of coordinator from Jamie (the previous coordinator) and I never got a heads up that we had to have another meeting a month before the wedding date. She didn’t greet us when we went for the rehearsal, she didn’t say one word to us during the reception. At that time, the venue had a different coordinator and Angie was training. This being said, I never even met the coordinator Angie except for briefly when we signed our contract. Our wedding day was perfect for us and we would love to give the venue 5 stars but we want to leave an honest review. We loved it for hair and makeup and being able to spread out. The room is set up with several tables and chairs but beyond that it is empty, so if you’re looking for a place to take get ready pictures this may not be the best choice.
