Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not even kidding when I say this is the perfect wedding venue! My vision truly came to life here. Hanford Gardens is actually the most beautiful wedding venue I’ve ever seen! You really don’t even need much decor because it’s just perfect on its own! It took me months of searching to find and venue and when I stumbled across them on my deep dive search I knew as soon as I saw it, it was the one! We didn’t even tour because I was so confident, especially with how nice and helpful they were with any information I needed. We had the best wedding ever. They think of every little detail. The getting ready space stunning. Reception area literally like a dream! Even the bathrooms are beautiful. If you’re looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding space for a reasonable price, where you can pick and choose your own vendors, and with amazing helpful owners and staff look no further! I could not recommend this venue enough! The end time might be a little early for some people but we had a little after party in the hotel sutter at the copper room and it was the perfect end to the perfect day! Sutter creek is the cutest little town! So many cute little hotels and stores. Definitely get married here!!!
