Benham's Grove

ty year round. If you're looking to have a garden themed wedding/event or event so bold as to have a whimsical aesthetic, Benham's is the place for you!

n the morning of so everything went great and our guests didn’t get rained on. I would definitely recommend.

ll help you plan your wedding from every step. Our tables were arranged exactly how we wanted them, and we had a flawless wedding. The price is very reasonable, and since it is a city park, there are no restrictions on vendors, which is great. We were able to bring whoever we wanted for our catering and what not.

e due to our small guest list (about 65 people). We had plenty of space. The gazebo was a great ceremony backdrop. Randall was amazing, too! He always answered my questions in a timely manner and made planning rather stress-free. Would definitely recommend!

r awesome photos but also to spread out the reception. The only complaint was the cost of the whole property was X amount, but you had to pay that same amount, so double, to get the large tent that is up all year anyways. It seemed confusing to rent " whole property" but not automatically get to use the rent which was on the property. We chose not to use it and it still worked out perfect.

venue again.

ill say that the bugs are AWFUL. Unfortunately, my guests, as well as my husband and I are absolutely covered in mosquito bites afterwards, and there were even some photos where I had visible bites in my arms or back. I do recommended trying to find something to help with the mosquitos on the grounds [they only spray the buikdibgs]. The staff were very attentive to us and overall incredible. Randy made me feel completely at ease prior to the day when we were going over set up, and Kim, who assisted us the day of, checked in us consistently throughout the day and did a great job of maintaining the house, restrooms, etc. We did end up having to get another hour [which was a gift from our bridal party] because the six hours was simply not long enough for the day, nor long enough for us to clean up as well. Looking back, I am completely happy about choosing Benham's for our Wedding, and would do it all over again.

e thinks on you. Stay firm. He said it would be dumb to put my cake outside. I wanted my cake outside and it was perfectly fine. He is not there the day of, I had a different girl who did absolutely nothing. I was told she would grab trash once it's full, keep bathrooms stocked, things like that. Nothing. My aunt had to do all of that. We did get our deposit back which was a plus. There were also some flower pots at the gazebo where our ceremony that I asked to be moved the day before and they were not so my cousin had to move all of them. Not huge deals but we were told it would be done so that makes it frustrating. Using the inside is cheaper but we had 200 guests so we had to rent the tent for extra. A slight rip off but still cheaper than a lot of venues. You only get the place for 6 hours unless you pay $300 for another hour. I was not able to get ready in the bridal suite (didn't get in until 5 my ceremony was at 5:30) so I got ready at a nearby hotel. The place itself is cozy and so unique. Ample places for pictures. Great bridal and groom suites that we got to hang out in for about a half hour. 3 bathrooms available which was good. You are open to use any vendor which is was what we were looking for. Enough parking, easy to get to, beautiful place. Overall I would recommend this place but there were a few hiccups that could have made the experience perfect.

many people or it rains, you have to pay extra to use the tent that permanently sits on the property. Both drawbacks aside, I loved the location. It is a stunning location and very cozy. I wouldn't have picked anywhere else to have my wedding and reception!

e calls. They were accommodating to me with payments and got a golf cart for my grandpa who was physically unable to walk to the gazeebo. honestly i loved the place but wish some things could have been different.

g was perfect with the help of Benhams Grove and their staff!

ted me with amazing vendors! I would recommend Benham's for weddings, showers, parties, and anything else you may want to host at a beautiful location!

even to the point that my bustle in my dress fell down and they helped secure it back up. Would definetely recommend Benham's Grove to family and friends. Also, the entire site is gorgeous and well maintained. Thanks so much for being a part of of special day!

n its own; our decorations just added to that. I love that there are so many outdoor paths and places to be. It was wonderful.

set up for round tables but there was a mix up with the table cloths and we had to switch to banquet tables at the last minute. Which Randy didn't have any problem switching them. This place is so beautiful and peaceful! Very happy we picked Benham's Grove!

turday was already booked for the following year, so we selected a Friday evening. Benham’s has a lovely gazebo and we had our hearts set on an outdoor fall ceremony. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate and the wind, cold, and rain, pushed us inside. Luckily we had a backup plan with a tent rental. Rental of the house at Benham’s includes the Gazebo and while the house does have a decent sized covered patio for a smaller group, we were very lucky to have rented the tent on top of that. It was perfect to accommodate our 90 guests, the DJ, buffet, cake, and bar all in one place. I feel that if you have more than 70 people at Benham’s, you need the tent. They have a brick plaza for the tent to be placed on and brick walkways to the tent from both the gazebo and the house. The plaza will accommodate a 40x80 tent. The staff at Benham’s that we dealt with were all wonderful – Margo, Sally, and our day of coordinator – Randy. I felt really bad for Randy because of the weather and last minute changes leading up to the ceremony. Originally the wedding was going to be outside at the gazebo. Because of the changing weather we moved it to the tent, back outside, and back to the tent. No one told Randy that it was going back in the tent, so he was still outside cleaning off chairs – bless his heart. I felt really bad about that. Overall, Benham’s did a great job accommodating our wedding and reception and I highly recommend them as long as you have a backup plan for bigger groups – rent the tent.

er event at the same time as ours using the part of the complex that we didn't book.
