The Gardens at Heather Farm

Becca Sanchez★★★★★

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. Even on the last day of August, the gardens were in full bloom. We received SO many compliments from our guests on how stunning the venue was. Everyone we worked with at The Gardens at Heather Farm was kind, attentive, and an excellent communicator. Jenna and Cathleen were both amazing! Throughout the planning process, they were always available to answer questions and offered many helpful recommendations for vendors, which made our planning much smoother. We dreamed of having an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by an indoor reception, and this venue was absolutely perfect for that. Our wedding day completely exceeded our expectations, and we had so much fun! I cannot recommend The Gardens at Heather Farm enough. It was truly the most magical place to host a wedding.

We booked the gardens in mid May for our wedding and it was a gorgeous wedding venue! It offers a spacious, beautiful garden teeming with blooming roses, different garden areas to explore, a super cute gazebo ceremony space, a nice cocktail area near the reception room, and the reception room with large windows for plenty of natural light. The lot has ~50 free parking spaces. The rental rate is fairly reasonable for the venue space and what's offered. In addition to the main spaces, there's a getting ready room downstairs available to add on, seating for the ceremony, circle/rectangular (not full width) tables for dinner, and a few cocktail tables for the bar area downstairs. Management allows for a fair amount of DIYing and independent vendor selections, with the only exceptions being a preferred catering list with good selection and off list caterers allowed with a fee and vetting. Professionals also must put up any hanging decorations in the reception room, and decor can't be hung directly off of the garden structures and reception room walls. We communicated with Jenna throughout the planning process. She was super responsive and helpful, answering every question we sent her way. Overall, I loved the gardens for our wedding and would recommend it to others!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding at The Gardens at Heather Farm. Jenna, our point of contact, was amazing—responsive, helpful, and full of great recommendations throughout the entire planning process. The venue has a required catering list, but everything else was up to us, allowing for plenty of creative freedom. The volunteers who work on the property keep it in pristine condition, and their dedication truly shows. Even in November, the gardens were full of beautiful roses, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is DIY, but the outdoor setting speaks for itself, which was exactly what we were looking for. I love DIY projects and had so much fun putting our wedding together, and the natural beauty of the gardens made everything come together seamlessly. The day went off without a hitch, and we’re so grateful for choosing this venue for our celebration.
