    10 out of 10 would recommend!

    Communication with The Gardens At Gray Gables was great. All of our questions were answered promptly, even on the day of our wedding. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - it was literally my dream venue. All of our guests raved about how gorgeous it was, even when it rained and we had to flip everything last minute. The staff was amazing in helping us adjust our plans, and our wedding day ended up being the most amazing day of our lives. I would definitely work with The Gardens At Gray Gables again in the future.

    Hi Kristen, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review! It means the world to us to hear that your day was everything you dreamed of — even with a little rain in the mix! Your flexibility and positivity made it such a joy to work with you, and we’re so grateful we got to be a part of such a special moment in your lives. Wishing you and Paris all the love and happiness in the world! We’d absolutely love to have you back at The Gardens any time. With love, The Gardens at Gray Gables Team


We have two peak seasons at The Gardens at Gray Gables—Spring and Fall—both offering ideal temperatures and breathtaking scenery for an outdoor event. In Spring, the gardens burst into life with vibrant blooming flowers, creating a colorful and romantic backdrop. In Fall, the landscape transforms with rich autumn hues, as our red maples turn a stunning orange-red, complementing the crisp air and golden sunlight. That said, Summer is not far behind! During this time, the gardens are lush and full of greenery, creating a dreamy, vibrant setting. Plus, our crape myrtles bloom beautifully in the summer, adding even more charm to the property.
Our off-season runs from November through March, as well as July and August. While these months are less popular due to cooler winter temperatures or the heat of summer, Gray Gables remains a stunning venue year-round with its Victorian charm, lush greenery, and elegant outdoor spaces. For couples looking for a more budget-friendly option, weddings held during our off-season come with discounted pricing, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful wedding at a great value!
As an ABC-licensed venue, all alcohol must be provided and served by us. We offer a variety of bar packages to suit different preferences, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your guests.
