We had such a beautiful wedding at Rockledge Gardens! There is no shortage of places to get beautiful couples portraits, as well as the actual venue space being beautifully set up as well. I don't think the photos online do the space justice, it is even more amazing in person. The actual day worked out to be perfect! The reason for the 4-star review is due to a few communication issues we had the last month before our wedding that caused some unneeded stress. There was a change in staffing for the venue coordinator, which was not communicated to us. We had actually initially found out from our caterer, otherwise, we would've found out at our final planning meeting one month before the wedding. The two people in our final meeting were familiarizing themselves with their roles and I made a mistake regarding the number of tables offered in my package. I requested 11 guest tables, not remembering that my contract was only for 10 guest tables. The coordinator never said anything to correct this, even in the few days following our meeting. There were a few questions they needed to get back to us on, which they said they would let us know within the week. About two weeks went by before anyone reached out, and all they did was send us the finalized floor plan. We still had to follow up on our questions, which were imperative to finalizing details for the weekend, like rehearsal location and time. By that point, I had already made our seating chart and signage because they did not advise me of any issues with the floor plan I created and provided them. When they sent my "final floor plan", they removed 1 guest table from the plan I had sent them and didn't say anything about removing it. Thankfully, they did work with us to provide the additional table and were genuinely apologetic about the whole situation. That was really the only issue we ever had, otherwise they were great to work with from beginning to end. The actual wedding weekend went off without any issues and we had an amazing day. Everything was set up exactly how I wanted it and it was all perfect. Everyone at Rockledge is super kind and caring, so I have no doubt that the few issues we experienced were only because of the new team adjusting. I would still do it all over again to get married there!
