We had the most amazing experience at The Gardens at Isaac Taylor for our wedding reception on October 19, 2024! From the very beginning of our planning journey, Rachel and her staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs. We met with Rachel a few times to discuss our ideas, and she truly brought our vision to life on our special day.
The venue itself is breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery and natural beauty, which provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Our guests were in awe of the scenery and had nothing but positive feedback about their experience.
The only downside we encountered was the lack of on-site staff for the breakdown at the end of the night. We were also informed that we couldn't leave anything behind to pick up the next day, so it's important to have a reliable team of family or friends—or even consider hiring someone—to help with packing up as you prepare to leave.
Despite this small hiccup, I wholeheartedly recommend The Gardens at Isaac Taylor for anyone looking for a fun and beautiful venue with plenty of character. We truly wish we could relive our wedding weekend all over again!
Isaac Taylor Garden was an absolute dream. The owner Mike was awesome to work with and went above and beyond to make sure the venue was in perfect condition for our wedding day. He was flexible with our schedule when it came to visiting the venue for planning, answered all of our questions promptly, and always made us feel welcome at his beautiful site. The venue itself is so incredibly beautiful; everything was tended to, green, and there were even blooms in November! The venue offers a space for both the ceremony and reception as well as a bridal suite. Our special day at Isaac Taylor was perfect.
I had my wedding in April and the garden was absolutely beautiful! All of the flowers were in bloom and the greenery was lush. The venue comes with tables and chairs and there are areas for both a ceremony and reception without it being too crowded. Mike the owner is very easy to get in contact with.
We absolutely loved having our reception at Isaac Taylor Garden. Mike took care of almost everything--from bartenders to chairs and tables (at least, the majority of them)! He also allowed flexibility for us to choose what we wanted and arrive a whole day early to set things up. Best of all, it was affordable.
I fell in love with Isaac Taylor Garden (before it was a wedding venue) when I first laid eyes on it while visiting the gallery! It's so quaint, you feel like you're in a secret tucked away garden. Mike was wonderful and was so quick to respond to my many questions! I also loved that I had the venue Friday-Sunday, it made things so much easier and we were able to enjoy it all weekend! Having access to the bridal suite was also wonderful. I was able to get ready there and had a space to decompress when I needed to.
The only stress that I had was not knowing if it was going to rain-the only downfall to an outdoor only venue. It was a thought that ran through my mind every day, months before the wedding. Luckily my coordinator (Val Conger, Your Perfect Day) put a stop to that and had tents on stand-by. It of course rained on my wedding day, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Everything turned out beautifully and the rain was actually quite fitting. Because of how naturally beautiful the venue is, you can keep decor to a minimum! No blank walls you feel compelled to cover :)
