Beautiful Venue & Fantastic Staff
Our venue was everything we could have hoped for and more. The team was incredibly accommodating and made the entire day-of experience effortless—we truly felt taken care of from start to finish. The space itself was the perfect backdrop for every part of our wedding, from the garden ceremony to the indoor reception, and created such a beautiful atmosphere for our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a venue that combines stunning surroundings with excellent service!
Great Blank Canvas Venue
The Gardens At Heather Farm was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. Their communication via email was always prompt and responsive, which made coordinating the event a breeze. The venue itself is stunning, with over 4 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and a gazebo that provided a picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. There were still flowers in bloom in the garden areas in September. The tables and chairs were already laid out for both the ceremony and reception areas upon arrival, taking one more detail off our plate on the big day. They also allow you to bring your own alcohol, provided it is served by licensed bartenders. We would highly recommend The Gardens At Heather Farm to any couple looking for a serene, natural setting for their wedding.
birthday part at The Gardens at Heather Farm
I hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband at The Gardens in March 2025. The booking process was smooth and seamless and I had a great experience with several of their recommended vendors including Elisa's catering. The venue and event staff were extremely flexible and answered my questions quickly. My event was beautiful and the venue allowed our guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as celebrate my husband's birthday. I highly recommend The Gardens at Heather Farm for any event you are hosting, large or small.
Our Dream Venue
The gardens at Heather farms was everything we were looking for in a venue. We wanted outdoors with lots of plant life, a reception space that was not a barn, fairytale vibes, ability to choose our own vendors, have a full bar, plenty of time at the venue to have the day of our dreams, and LGBTQ friendly. The gardens delivered all of this and was well within our budget. As a lesbian couple it was very important to us to find a venue and vendors that felt like supportive allies and from our first meeting with GHF we felt very welcome. We also loved that the only vendor they had a preferred list for was catering (the list had many great options and we were very happy with our choice), this allowed us to ensure that all of our other vendors we hired were also allies or members of the queer community. They were great to work with and everything went so smooth the day-of. It was also stunning, the rose gardens feel so magical and I loved that we didn’t need to worry about much decor for the ceremony space. Everything was beautifully in bloom even in mid-October. If I could go back and do it over again I would still choose to get married at the gardens in a heartbeat! Another thing we love is that it’s open to the public when it is not closed for private events, so leading up to our wedding we spent a lot of time visiting just because! We took my mom there for a Mother’s Day picnic and also went with friends. I can’t wait to return as newlyweds again and again.
Response from vendor•Oct 28, 2024Chloe! You both were an absolute dream couple. We feel so special to have been a part of your big day. Best wishes and you are ALWAYS welcome to come and visit us. -Jenna (Operations and Event Manager)
