Thank you so much to the GOCR team who helped us have the best day ever. We loved the Gardens of Castle Rock since the first day we toured and fell in love with it more each time we visited. It was the only venue that we could find that ticked ...all of our boxes. Affordable, not too far from the cities, only one event per day, beautiful outside ceremony spaces to choose from, large area for lawn games, the ability to pick our own vendors (VonHanson's, Encore Events, MN school of bartending, Midwest Sound, Mark Fierst Photography, FilmStoke) large covered space for dinner, great dance floor, late night woodfire pizza, and shuttle service to nearby hotels. The gardens are pristine and we made sure to utilize all of the grounds and amenities during our wedding day. The ladies got ready in the brand new bridal suite while having mimosas (Bre Perez MUA), we did first look in the woods, ceremony at the promenade, pictures in the lath house, games on out lawn, appetizers and drinks on the patio, photobooth dinner and dancing under the tent! They really allowed us to create our own unique event. Not only is the space perfect but Glenn, Michelle, and Deb are wonderful human beings. They are so personable, accommodating and caring. They really took the time to get to know us and we are very glad to now call them friends. Along with our wedding planner (Lindsay @ Opulent Events), they made sure that our day was perfect- and it was!
