    Ruth's Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was thorough, making them easy to get a hold of and very kind throughout the process. The space they provided for us to get ready was beautiful, and the overall venue was gorgeous, quiet and affordable - exactly what we were looking for. I would 100% recommend this venue to any couple, as it was the perfect backdrop for our special day.
