Belle Gardens

ay. Pam was pulling flower pedals off for us as our ceremony was starting in less than 5 mins because we forgot to bring the pedals. You don’t find that help and kindness anywhere else!

hey took care of everything, offered advice and answered questions from the day we booked through our wedding day. I would choose Belle 100 times over again. I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding perfect!

flawless which is perfect for any nervous bride! Their venue is so beautiful as well! We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for their wedding venue.

ifference. Our family and friends were so impressed with the beauty of the place and the great services they offer. I don’t know very many mothers of the bride that say that on their daughter’s wedding day they were not stressed at all and that they just enjoyed themselves. I truly can, and it was largely due to our daughter’s choice of Belle Gardens and the kind and caring people Pam and Larry are.

s venue. It is completely overpriced for the service you receive. When we did the final walkthrough we were rushed through the process which was the first time we ever communicating with Pam the "wedding coordinator." The day of the wedding some of our decorations were not setup. Both Pam and Larry were dressed unprofessionally. When my flowers arrived and they were not what I had ordered, Pam asked, "Well is she on a budget?" That should not matter nor is it appropriate for her to ask. Pam was walking the grounds watering her flowers during the reception. We had floating candles that were to be used for guests to light and set afloat in the pond with a wish for us that never happened. They began tearing down tables in the middle if the reception which made guests uncomfortable and felt like they had to leave. Larry made the comment to a couple of our guests, "I can't be here all night!" We left by 10:00pm because most all of our guests had left already because there was no where for them to sit (you can be there until 11:00pm). The most upsetting part is that Pam told one of our guests that they are tired of doing weddings. This should be a HUGE red flag to anyone planning a wedding here.

entire venue and service is centered on allowing the bride and groom to just show up and get married. Their wedding coordinator, Katie, was absolutely on top of her game as well. She had everything covered the day of the wedding. The venue itself is perfect. Everything is beautiful, elegant, and perfectly set up. The ceremony area seats 150-200 people. It is mostly shaded and has a beautiful white gazebo. The floral and other garden features make the entire place seam like a fairy tale secret place. One word describes Belle Gardens and their staff....that is PERFECT

to make the wedding process follow perfectly smooth!

s emails from my mother and I quickly and assured us that it was going to be a great day no matter what. We were allowed unlimited visits before the wedding day for us, family, and vendors and were always there to give tours and answer questions. We had 2 scheduled meetings in which Pam and Larry asked the necessary questions about our day to ensure a smooth day from start to finish. Pam was an amazing coordinator and I couldn't imagine doing it without her. Rehearsal was the day before and we had plenty of time to get our last minute questions answered and unload all our things for the next day. The wedding day we were given access to the property from noon until 11 pm. Upon arrival Pam was there to greet us and ensure that we had everything we needed. We were allowed to use the kitchen to eat some lunch before starting to dress in the upstairs bridal suite. Because Pam and Larry have hosted so many weddings at their home, they knew exactly what to do and what the timeline should look like. I didn't have to worry about anything the entire day. They take care of absolutely everything once you are there. They gathered the gifts, loaded them in the proper car and did nearly all the clean up after the wedding. This is a great location for anyone who loves the vintage garden setting and doesn't want their wedding day to be bogged down with the work. They were perfect in every way and their preferred venders list was amazing! I would recommend this site to anyone and everyone.

ally planned to spend on a venue, but we felt so taken care of that our stress-free big day made it worth every penny. They provided a lot and we found most of our also wonderful vendors through them as well - I would recommend Pam & Larry to anyone!

t of work, school, and other obligations, we were too busy to fly up to Washington to scout locations for our August 2011 wedding. We saw the Belle site online and how beautiful the pictures of the venue were and decided to call for information. After a very informative discussion with Larry (one of the owners), we found out that there were only 2 dates left in our time frame. We needed to act fast. After a lot of research (reading reviews and talking to other vendors), we decided that Belle would be perfect for our wedding/reception to be held. The first time we actually saw the venue in it's full glory was the day before our wedding, and I cannot begin to express how beautiful it is. Anyone you talk to will say that those pictures do not do the venue justice. From the flowers, apple trees, and the gorgeous Victorian-style house, to the picture-perfect areas (the boat on the pond, the old-fashioned truck, and the Secret Garden), it was as though this venue was built specific to all of my wants/needs. To top it off, the owners are far more than that. They were both incredibly involved on the wedding day with the setup, take-down, pouring the champagne (which they provided), and much more. Larry is an excellent groundskeeper and the venue was almost surreal how clean and crisp looking it was. Pam was so incredbily helpful. She has a background in alterations, cakes, and pretty much anything having to do with a wedding, so anytime an issue came up she was able to find a solution. A perfect example is my troublesome bustle. My dress was very detailed and had a lot of lace on it, so it was difficult for my bridesmaids to find where the loops were. Pam noticed that they were having difficulty and she got right down on her knees and started working with them to get me "bustled up". The fact that they were so involved and they took care of everything allowed me to focus on the fact that I was getting married and not to stress out about the details. Probably my favorite spot on their property is their "photo booth", which is an area for you and guests to take some fun pictures behind some photo frames. There are a lot of props to use (boas, hats, mustaches, lips, glasses, etc.) and it was a huge hit at our reception. All of the guests loved it and it made for some really fun pictures. Also, there are so many picturesque locations on their property that your guests enjoy taking some of their own romantic pictures and it has been so much fun seeing all of their profile pictures change on Facebook to show our wedding venue. At the end of the night, Pam and Larry helped pack our stuff up in the car (so we wouldn't have to deal with it) and Pam had even saved us a plate of food and cake (in case we had been too busy to eat!). I cannot express enough how fantastic our experience was with Belle Victorian Gardens. If you have the opportunity to have your event there, I wouldn't pass it up. My wedding/reception was so stress-free, and Pam and Larry were a large part of that. Thank you so much Belle!

day with no worries. Our wedding was spectacular because of them!
