    We had our wedding at Grand Tradition Estates and I’m still convinced we accidentally hacked the wedding matrix and ended up with the perfect day. My wife booked it sight unseen just to lock in the date (which made my eye twitch a bit), but once we stepped foot onto the Arbor Terrace, we knew we hit the jackpot. It’s basically a tropical garden paradise with a waterfall that makes every photo look like it belongs in a fancy bridal magazine. A huge shout-out to our wedding coordinator, Jasmine Ross, absolute rockstar! She kept everything running smoother than my dance moves after three cocktails (which is saying something). Also, there was a young assistant who trailed my wife around like a bridal ninja, making sure her dress was fluffed, pinned, and picture-perfect at all times, we didn’t catch her name, but she deserves a medal for dress-wrangling alone. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning venue, the perfectly timed ceremony, and how stress-free everything felt, all thanks to the dream team at Grand Tradition. If you’re on the fence about booking here, just do it. Best spontaneous decision we ever made, besides saying “I do.” Would rate it 6 stars if I could!

    The Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was fast and professional. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - the gardens were beautifully manicured and the indoor spaces were spacious and elegantly decorated. Lisa, our coordinator, was amazing and so kind throughout the entire planning process. We were blown away by the level of service and attention to detail on our wedding day. Everything was seamlessly executed, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy ourselves. We could not have asked for a more gorgeous setting for our special day. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a breathtaking, well-managed wedding location.

    Booked a tour with Scott white and the whole experience was amazing. You have to see this place in person ! I have toured many venues but this property is STUNNING! I knew I wanted to book after this touring and the hardest decision was deciding which side to pick. Scott was very helpful throughout the entire tour, had wonderful suggestions and answered all of our questions. He helped me to envision my dream wedding and I couldn’t imagine having it anywhere else. I’m so looking forward to my wedding next year. Thank you so much Scott !

  • Excellent Wedding Venue!

    The wedding was great and as a wedding planner, I enjoyed working with this team. From the start, they care for the client with respect and class. Especially loved working with Scott. He has the best personality and is so fun! We did have a staff change which somewhat caused a communication issue, but they quickly bounced back and made sure everything was correct and updated. As a wedding planner, I would certainly do another wedding here! The staff, food and facility are top notch!
