On the day of, they provided everything that was included in our plan and were quick to address any issues that came up. The only negatives would be that they were pretty inflexible with some things - we weren't allowed to decorate or even store items the night before, and the earliest we could access the venue was 8am the day of the wedding which was pretty stressful. Overall however, the quality of their work was very good and they helped make our special day run smoothly.”

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at the MSU Horticulture Gardens! We had our ceremony in the North Gardens outside, the cocktail hour in a covered tent right outside of the greenhouse, and the dinner and reception inside of the greenhouse. We had 118 guests and were able to do dinner and dancing inside of the greenhouse comfortably. Everything was set up promptly and was ready to go the day before. Working with the team was very collaborative and they provided lots of options while we were deciding what we wanted our layout to be. Amy was great to work with. They had lots of rental options such as chairs, tables, linens, bar, and backdrop curtain to elevate the space. There was a large walk-in cooler that we were given access to where we were able to keep our desserts and then store flowers/leftovers in over night after the wedding. During our tour we were a bit worried that the greenhouse would be very hot and that the fans would be loud, but they're able to cover the roof and we were able to rent standing fans that kept the venue cool without excessive noise and it totally fine. Everything came together beautifully on the day of and we are so happy with the day overall! We received so many compliments from guests and we would definitely recommend the North Gardens as a wedding venue.”

  • Serves Ovid, MI

I'm a professional photographer serving Michigan, New England, and beyond. I have a wandering soul and a profound passion for capturing life's beautiful moments. My pronouns are she/her, and my journey in photography was inspired by my mother's artistry in preserving our family memories on film. Photography has been a constant companion throughout my life. In my early days, I relied on disposable cameras for adventures and a mini digital camera to capture the energy of concerts. As time progressed, my fascination deepened, focusing on the world's beauty and the profound emotions within each fleeting moment.

“Tara's eye for detail and superb shots will leave you with photos that capture the love of your wedding stunningly. I loved her photography from her portfolio and she delivers. Pre-wedding, Tara was incredibly responsive and really organized when it came to making the photo timeline. During the day, her kindness and expertise guided us, a pretty photo awkward couple, to pose like models. If you want gorgeous photos that capture the day and are worthy of their own art exhibition, book Tara!”
