The Gardens of Castle Rock helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. My wife and I toured the venue and fell in love with the place even in the dead of winter, we said to each other " we would do it right here right now with no additional decor" because we loved it so much. This venue was not only LGBTQ inclusive, but was very intentionally more than just inclusive/tolerant- they made it very clear they were LGBTQ SUPPORTERS AND ALLIES. My wife and I felt safe with every staff member throughout every step of the process. Shout-out to Glen for his beautiful artwork and warm soul! Shout-out to Tammy for being our cheerleader throughout all of our planning We had continuous compliments from our guests about how perfect the venue was.

I had no idea my community center was so beautiful! The windows gave the best backdrop, the bar was intentionally placed and detailed to perfection! The space was so beautiful on its own that we didn't have to lug in loads of decorations. The built in spot for the DJ was perfect! Comfortably fit our 175 people for dinner and dancing. The staff was knowledgeable and not overwhelming. Stupid good value! I loved having my wedding here!
