We recently visited The Hanford Garden and wow—pictures seriously don’t do it justice. The space is so beautiful, and you can already see how much love and intention is being poured into it.

You can tell they really care about making every corner perfect and creating an incredible experience for their couples. The communication alone has been impressive. It’s clear they’re investing a lot to elevate the space while keeping its charm. Love love love this venue!

We truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. We were able to stay at Shadows for the long weekend - which allowed us to set up and DIY most our wedding. Our family and closest friends got to stay with us on the property for the weekend, which made it feel so much more special - and made us feel like we had so much time to take our wedding weekend in with everyone (rather that just one day). The venue was so spacious, which made the event feel large and free - rather than everyone being on top of each other. We used the following spaces for each part of our wedding: - Backyard grass and overlook - Ceremony - Front yard grass - Dinner & Speaches - Barn - Desserts, Snacks, Seating / Lounge Area, Guest Book - Barn Deck - Dancefloor & DJ We worked with Scena as our day-of coordinator and she was THE BEST! Helped so much with timeline, setup, coordination, rehersal, clean up - EVERYTHING! Truly could not say enough good things about her.

My daughter Christina McGirt was recently married to her fiancé Alex Hall on your boat on March 30th. We just wanted to say how wonderful our experience was. Rachel, who was our coordinator that helped us with all the planning and setting it up, was absolutely fantastic. She was so easy to work with and happily answered any questions that we had. She truly made the experience so enjoyable and fun. We also wanted to say that Heather and Monica, who helped with the reception were also great! They were right there to help us with anything that we or our guests needed. Rachel, Heather and Monica are truly such a great representation for the Delta King. Thank you to all for making my daughter and her husband’s day perfect! Kenny and Sherry Galas

We used Bridgewood Events as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was everything I could have dreamt of and more. The ceremony was at the water’s edge of a large pond with beautiful trees everywhere and an absolutely stunning bridge. Our reception was in the barn that you have to see to believe. It is so spacious, clean, and was the best backdrop for our photos. The owners are professional, helpful, very quick to get back to me anytime I had questions, just hands down the best vendor we worked with!
