What a beautiful venue and friendly/helpful staff. Our dog was in the wedding party and the park attendant made sure to keep an eye on her so that she did not get out of the gardens. Highly recommend this place.

I am going into my 5th year here; and it never gets old- the excitement of a couple when they visit the site- (I'm aware when they tune me out and see only each other) and say; "This is the spot babe", (I still get chills). My couples are just that- mine, their comfort and peace of mind is my responsibility. I tell each of them to enjoy the planning and know that everyone here is experienced and we will never let them fall too far! (if at all). Come for a tour when it works best for you , we love showing off! Pamela at 860-966-7384
