The new owners of Evergreen Gardens have elevated a beautiful venue to new levels of splendor. The manicured laws, beautiful florals, and vibrant evergreens are exactly the Northwest secret garden where we envisioned our family and friends cele...

brating with us. Katie and Jen are both outgoing and kind. When we asked if the venue was open to LGBTQIA+ weddings, they were embarrassed/sad that this even had to be a question. Not only is this a beautiful place, it was also a safe place for our Gay wedding. Also, Anna, our bartender from the approved list, was BEYOND helpful. She checked in often and was constantly helping with everything between pouring drinks. The reasonable rates, beauty, and personality of this venue and all involved makes this an amazing place to have your perfect day.

We received endless compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue was and how we hit the jackpot - we couldn't agree more! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Jenn - she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Very communicative and helpful, ready to answer any questions and provide any recommendations that she could. Our bartender, Boel, from the "approved" list was fantastic as well! We highly recommend Evergreen Gardens if you're looking for an outdoor venue!

Let me begin by saying -- very happy with the experience. Very happy. Wondering venue with wonderful people. Had the time of our lives. Honestly couldn't recommend it more. But I feel like I have to address the ongoing comments I'm now seei...

ng on this page; all the reviews are either 5 star or 1 star -- and the only thing separating them is the fact that, when pressed, one of the owners disagreed on same-sex marriage? They were asked their opinion, right? How does an owner's opinion have enough weight to merit a scathing review? Can we not be reasonable? The opinion affected their Responsiveness? Really? What if they were atheists and you wanted to have prayer at the wedding? What if they were vegetarians and you were excited about your steak dinner? Seems like overkill and frankly, kinda malicious considering the stunning care these people have taken of their landscape and business.

Not LGBT friendly. Will host a wedding for a gay couple because the law says they have to, but they will express their discomfort with it. Do not give them your money.
