Lillian Gardens

ys on top of things! She promptly answered any and all questions throughout the entire process. She made everything very clear and easy to understand. She was extremely flexible with any changes that we wanted to make. We had a cake emergency and she handled it so fast I was blown away to say the least! Not to mention she is simply an incredible individual who I now consider my friend! Her assistant Bailey was beyond helpful as well! Another fantastic person who did anything to make sure this process went as smooth as possible and ensured our happiness! The patience was astounding and I cannot say enough how truly thankful I am to all of the hard work that went into making our dream wedding come to life!! Everyone at Lillian Gardens is extremely professional. Everyone who works there has a wonderful personality and it truly made this entire experience stress free and positive. We used vendors from their recommended list and I would tell anyone to make sure to do the same! They already have wonderful relationships with each other and the communication between them was effortless! DJ Doug was amazing! He was on top of everything and did so seamlessly! He is so kind and knowledgable and beyond helpful when planning songs and needing suggestions! He knows how to make the music personable to your personalities and vision! Our florist Britt with Marigold & Moss is truly exceptional. Her arrangements blew me away. Each piece was unique and stunning! You can tell she pours her heart into making everything perfect. She was so patient throughout the entire process and was more than welcoming of any and all inspiration photos and even verbal suggestions! She surpassed any and all expectations I had. We are keeping these flowers forever! Our photographer Kara was a blessing! We are not used to having our photos taken at all and she guided us through everything! She is so kind, thoughtful and patient! She is also amazing at making sure we get previews of our photos from engagement to wedding which is beyond perfect because patience in waiting to see the best moments of your life is soooo hard when your so excited. We are just blown away every time how she can capture our true selves and the beauty behind it! We sourced our reception chairs from S&K Rentals, they were beautiful! They keep their chairs clean and pristine. Not to mention they are soooo nice!!! I truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience. People say it is beyond stressful to plan a wedding, but this was not stressful at all! I highly recommend this venue and all of our vendors used to anyone who is planning a wedding or any event! You will be beyond happy with the outcome :) Thank you all for making me over the moon happy and my heart full of joy and love!!

heir wedding day.  My plan was to provide food for both of their “getting ready” areas.   I was an out of town guest, so everything had to be ordered!   I was unfamiliar with the area.   I decided to contact the venue staff for suggestions.  Stephanie was a godsend!   She was a wealth of information!   I was at the venue most of the day and I was so impressed with the services they offered!   It’s a beautiful venue!  The way the staff handled every detail was amazing!  Everyone was kind and professional!   The weather was predicted to be stormy during the ceremony.   They kept bride’s mom updated the whole day!   Not only did they have a plan A, they had a plan B and C, as well!   Never did I see the mother of the bride worried!  Never!!! The grounds, the interior, the staff…everything was perfect!  The ceremony went off without a hitch!  The reception was fun and relaxed!   The reception food was delicious!   I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the staff!!!   

ed or felt like "the one". From the moment we walked in to Lillian Gardens, we had a feeling that this one was it. Ashley gave us our tour and was so sweet, kind, and welcoming from start to finish. She felt both professional and like she could be a long time friend. We were pretty transparent with our budget and wanting to stay on the cheaper side (within reason as we know weddings are expensive, but wanted to do our best in keeping total costs down). She never tried to upsell us and encouraged us it could be done! From start to finish, Lillian Gardens were great communicators, team players, supporters of our wedding day, and so incredibly kind. We invested in the Bespoke Package LG offers and that took such a huge load off our shoulders knowing food, floral, DJ, cake, getaway car, etc was taken care of. On our wedding day, everything came together so beautifully and the LG team were amazing supporters and there for us when we needed a drink, had a question, etc whenever we needed them (shout out Crystal & Darriel!). Each person working felt like they were part of our day and family in such a special way even though we paid them to be there HA. We will be forever grateful we chose Lillian Gardens as our venue!

opportunity to respond privately before posting publicly. Our wedding was on June 9, 2026. While our overall wedding cost was significantly more, we invested nearly $15,000 with Lillian Gardens alone for the venue, catering, coordination, and related services. Based on that investment, we expected a much higher level of professionalism than we received. The problems began during planning. In January, I requested a list of the venue's rental items and available services so I could decide what to rent through the venue versus what to purchase myself. I didn't receive that information until the end of April, after many decisions and purchases had already been made. Had I received it when requested, I would have gladly paid the venue for additional services instead of spending months DIYing so much of our wedding. On the wedding day, our coordinator was unprepared when vendors arrived, leaving me answering questions and directing logistics instead of simply being the bride. After months of planning our décor, I was informed that morning that our candles did not meet venue requirements—something never communicated during planning despite multiple discussions. The bridal party was initially told there was no drinking water available while getting ready, only for it to suddenly be "found" after we had already spent time trying to solve the problem ourselves. We were repeatedly pressured to move our outdoor ceremony indoors despite clearly communicating our wishes, and after we made our decision, our Maid of Honor was asked separately to make the final call. The rehearsal also lacked direction, and my father ultimately stepped in to lead much of it. The reception is where things became most disappointing. Cocktail hour appetizers ran out early, some guests only received one appetizer despite us paying for two, and dinner started approximately an hour late because the kitchen was not ready. Guests began clearing dishes from their own tables, and many left before the reception events and dancing really began. We also purchased sangria for cocktail hour. Multiple guests commented that it appeared to contain little or no alcohol, which was disappointing considering it was purchased as an alcoholic beverage service. Our timeline became so delayed that my husband spent part of our own wedding reception helping clean up to meet the venue's exit deadline. Several professional vendors independently expressed concerns about the coordination they witnessed that day and encouraged us to contact the venue owner. Rather than immediately posting a review, I contacted the owner privately. She acknowledged communication and coordination failures, apologized, and offered to refund our $312 Bridal Suite Mimosa Bar. While I appreciated the acknowledgment, it did not address the broader coordination issues that affected our wedding day. Lillian Gardens is a beautiful venue, but beautiful grounds alone are not enough. Couples are also paying for communication, organization, leadership, and the ability to enjoy one of the most important days of their lives without managing vendors and solving operational problems themselves. I sincerely hope improvements are made so future couples receive the experience they deserve.
