I recently had my wedding at North Garden Theater and could not have been happier. This was such a gem to find. Ryan and Tina were amazing to work with, so responsive and helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure your event goes perfectly. Tables, chairs and linens came with the rental, which most places do not do. We got to customize the lighting, the dance party lighting (which is extensive with fog machine!), and the entire layout. They have a bar onsite and the cocktails were great! They were able to serve our guests very quickly. We used multiple Spotify playlists for our music and Ryan was on point switching between them at the right times. The facilities were amazing too; large dressing room to get ready, and nice big bathrooms that they continually cleaned throughout the night. They are also big on reducing waste so we were able to use all compostable cups, which we also had our caterer use all compostable plates and silverware. I really do not have enough great things to say about Ryan, Tina and NGT; they made such a magical day for us!!!

This venue and the team that works there are fantastic! Communication was clear and timely with the team. The venue itself is gorgeous and does not need many decorations. Not to mention the multiple places you can get photos taken nearby and in the building. We got married here in October and it was perfect! Highly recommend for a wedding or any larger event you would host!
