Truly, a Hidden Gem and Quality Experience
Our decision to book Paradigm Gardens for our wedding venue was a foundational choice on a long list of choices we can now look back on with zero regrets, and a profound sense of gratitude. For starters, we are from out of town, and the whole process of planning and communicating was done remotely, with no in person interaction, site visits, tastings, etc. We started this process blind, with very flexible expectations, relying on communication and an innate sense of reliability and professionalism. All we knew was that we wanted somewhere pretty and intimate, and if we could reduce the number of vendors we needed to organize from across the country, all the better. Right away, Paradigm was an exceptional fit. Quick response times, extremely reasonable pricing, and a one stop shop for many of your event needs while still excelling at each service they offered. Karen is amazing to work with. She assuaged any concerns, answered all questions, and provided reliable and informed suggestions we’re glad we listened to. Our day-of coordinator Sarah was amazing, security was exceptional, the kitchen deserves their own dedicated praise so I’ll save that for now, and all that was really left for us to coordinate on the day of was quick queues with the band, officiant, and photographer. With regards to services – the ceremony and reception were basically covered down to the last detail by Paradigm, at least for our needs. Ceremony chairs, a variety of table sets for the reception, utensils, plates, drinks (available from the moment doors open I might add), floral arrangements from the garden, linens, beautiful string lighting, a stage, dance floor, rain plan tent…. Paradigm will cover all of that for you, PLUS pygmy goats! Yes, your event needs goats; they make everything better. And I would be remiss if I didn’t rave at least a little about Chef Pat and his talented team in the open kitchen. Most wedding food is best described as “alright”, but the food from this kitchen has no place being lumped in with any of that. We selected a few options we had our sights set on and let our phone call with Chef guide our hand for the remaining menu choices. They managed a high variety menu with a seasonal flare and kept absolute perfection flying off the open flame and onto the serving table with meticulous consistency, attention to quality, and timing. From the second we walked back down the aisle, our guests had delicious appetizers in hand. No hungry, impatient guests wandering and praying for a drink at our Wedding – all covered, food and full bar at your fingertips faster than you can blink. With regards to the menu, It would be best described as rustic fine dining meets full flavor in the humblest, down to earth form factor, all on full display in the open kitchen. Our guests can’t stop reminding us of just how good the food, the beauty of the venue, and the overall experience were. Paradigm Gardens is truly a hidden gem. If you have a more involved vision for certain elements of your wedding, they offer so much more and the flexibility to source additional vendors, either with them or on your own. I can’t say enough; weddings are tough, but they don’t have to be, and with Paradigm you’ll want for nothing.
Magical
From the moment we booked Paradigm Gardens for our wedding, their communication was easy, relaxed and consistent. The team was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and paid close attention to every detail, helping to make our special day feel truly magical. The garden setting was an absolute dream, and the Paradigm Gardens team provided us with so many creative ideas that made our wedding stand out and shine. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and planning experience. Paradigm Gardens is simply the best!
An incredible time!
Paradigm Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first reached out, Karen and her team were more than we ever expected - their relaxed and easy going communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The wonderful service, great communication, and beautiful garden provided the ideal backdrop for our special day. The incredible food and thoughtful coordination from the Paradigm Gardens staff ensured our wedding was truly memorable. We cannot thank Karen and her team enough for helping make our dream day a reality!
Garden Magic in Every Detail!
Look no further than Paradigm Gardens for the unforgettable, joyful, vibrant, delicious and thoughtful wedding or celebration that you've always imagined! We had always admired the space for its lush, colorful, genuine energy, but we had no idea how special and personal the experience would be when we reached out to inquire about having our wedding in the garden. Starting at the beginning, Karen was so available and personable which made it possible for us to talk through our needs and hopes and find a solution that would work for our budget and vison. From that point, we felt extremely supported throughout the year leading up to our wedding with prompt answers whenever we had questions, phone calls to discuss any idea we had to see how we could make it work in the garden, and a menu tasting that was so much fun and SO delicious! One major point to any prospective couple, the food is SPECTACULAR! Made on the outdoor grill and brick oven, the culinary experience is a feast for every sense and seriously something our guests (and we) are still talking about! With rain in the forecast as our wedding approached, Karen and Sarah made sure every detail was thought of to ease our nerves, and we had a perfect rain plan that was stunning and perfect! The Paradigm team thinks of every detail so that you can create the day of your dreams. The garden flowers and foliage w ere just divine, the layout was thought out perfectly for our group size, the food was prepared and served without us having to think about a thing and we could just soak in our amazing family and friends, and the love and joy around us! The staff were such a delight and so kind and helpful throughout the evening! We had an absolute BLAST and will remember every second of the perfect day to start our next chapter together. Paradigm is the best decision we made aside from marrying each other!
