Sherman Library & Gardens

liments about the beauty of the site. It was cozy, intimate, and a true OC gem. It also will be a special place for my husband and I to visit on each anniversary!

pressed, they helped make the day perfect, and we couldn't be happier with them.

e not only lovely but comfortable for our families and friends. This locale suited us perfectly. There is a brides room area where my step daughters, sisters and I prepared. The whole courtyard surround the room was picturesque. My photographer took full advantage of the features at Sherman Gardens to create fabulous memories. The ceremony location is truly unique with the fountain in the middle. Our florist brought in an archway and covered it with flowers, creating a magical space. The guest, then retired to the lawn for cocktails to listen to a contemporary string quartet, while my husband and I took advantage of the numerous photo opportunities throughout the grounds. The Pascal Catering folks and the Sherman garden folks were fabulous. The food was divine. I have never had such wonderful wedding food before. It was even more delicious that during our tasting. My husband and I and quite a number of our relatives have food allergies and sensitivities and Pascal catering addressed them all. The whole meal was gluten and dairy free and fabulous! The reception hall space was delightful. The staff had helped decorate it and it was more beautiful and inviting than I could have imagined. It was just a perfect day. I can not speak highly enough of this venue, the food and the staff. I would choose Sherman gardens again in a heartbeat.

the succulent garden) and so full of places to explore that the guests really loved. Even if it was hard to work with the employees of the garden (which it wasn't), I would have kept with it because of how amazingly gorgeous the gardens are. However, everyone was extremely easy to work with. Sherman Gardens works with Pascal's for catering and Will Have Dessert for cake so we didn't need to worry about catering. Patti, who works for Pascal's, became like a wedding planner for me, giving me ideas and reminding me that she will take care of it and I didn't need to worry about it. She was amazing. Also, I got to store things in the brides room a couple days before the wedding so that set up would be easy (although Sherman Gardens does most of the setting up anyway). A couple months before the wedding we had a dinner and cake tasting. We chose 4 different hors d'oeuvres that were passed around during cocktail hour. We chose for dinner a choice of halibut (OH MY GOSH SO AMAZING) or pork. And for cake we chose the lemon-lime cake. Best. Cake. Ever. The reception went so smoothly. Plenty of guests explored the gardens. Some played bocce ball. Some roasted smores. Everyone, even my grandpa, danced. It was a perfect evening. The food was perfect. The location was perfect. The cake was to die for. And it made our wedding a dream come true. Many of my friends have told me it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. And Sherman Gardens and Patti had a lot to do with it!
