The day was perfect and everything ran so smoothly, we truly could not have asked for a better day. The venue is absolutely beautiful and so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the space was. We also used their on site catering, Jack's, and had a great experience with them as well. I would definitely recommend this venue!

The venue has an old Victorian type style to it. Plenty of shade for those hot summer events. The area for the wedding is a short walk from the reception area. They have a bar and very nice bathroom area. It is hard to find a problem with this venue. You do have to drive over a narrow bridge that might stress some drivers. I've driven over it in a full size pickup with no problem. The food was excellent and plenty of it. I would suggest this place for your event.

I had my wedding here. Silvia was great to work with and was so helpful in the planning process…read more The venue is so beautiful and did not require a lot of extra decoration. They include so much including the furniture and lighting, and we got a good deal on the dance floor. We chose this venue because it encompasses what we love about Visalia, with the greenery and the oak trees. Many of my guests have commented on how beautiful it was and thought it was very unique. The only concerns were regarding the bridge getting to the venue, but we did not have problems with it, and with getting our rentals out the night of the wedding, but it was easy to coordinate. The food was amazing, as we expected from Fugazzis. From the time of our tasting, we knew the food was going to be good. We had ample choices for our appetizers, the entree options were delicious and plentiful, the desserts were really good, and the late night tacos were a huge hit for our guests. Silvia was so helpful in planning the day. From coordinating with my vendors, to answering all of our questions, she helped the day go smoothly. She is very knowledgable and had good suggestions for our other vendors as we were doing our research. Overall, it was a great day, and I am so happy that we chose to have it at Victorian Garden.

Trying to rent the Veterans Memorial building was unorganized & unsuccessful. I first spoke with a…read moreyoung lady on 12/12 named Julia- who stated the date I needed for my mom's memorial was available. Julia was not sure of herself & was unable to answer most of my questions. I gave her grace as everyone needs to learn. She was being coached by the directer Charles, who I could hear in the background. Nonetheless, I confirmed the date & tried to contact them for two days straight to inquire who I make the check out to. There was two full days of unanswered calls. On 12/17 Charles finally returned my call to inform me the date Julia told me was available was actually not available. After sending out the tentative date to the family who are flying in from out of state. The Veterans Memorial needs to 1)Put someone responsible in charge of providing information & date look up 2) Have a valid system in place to include a basic email when they cannot answer the phone 3) Offer payments over the phone for people out of state would not recommend dealing with this non profit.

That would have been the cherry on top of the themed event. Plenty of parking available! Will I be back? Looking forward to it!

There is a small house for wedding parties to get ready. Easy access for disabled. The alter is on west side so beautiful views of sunset. This venue would work for more than weddings. I'm thinking reunions, birthday parties, work parties. Plenty light in the evenings. Please check it out!

Loved everything about The Darling! What a gem of a hotel in Visalia…read more Work brought me here for a conference. I'd just happened to see a PBS special on Visalia a few months prior to my stay and learned of The Darling and its fabulous rooftop restaurant, Elderwood. I knew right away that this was the place for me. Delightful accommodations. Absolutely beautiful room - and bathroom! All the little touches make a big difference, like the self-serve coffee/tea/water bar and the in-room complimentary snacks and water. Don't miss the restaurant upstairs! I enjoyed an early breakfast my first morning there and dinner the next night. (See my separate review for Elderwood.) Never thought I'd say that I forward to returning to Visalia but I'll coming rushing back to The Darling when I do!

Room service was good quality, appropriately priced and arrived quickly. The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars was there was no internal secondary lock on the door which made it feel a little unsafe as a solo traveler and also there were not clear instructions about how to enter the gated parking lot upon checking in. Otherwise I had a good stay and would consider visiting again just to eat at the restaurant.

I rented this place for a celebration of life for my mother. When I met with the staffer, I told…read moreher I didn't have all the details yet because I was working on securing a location. We filled out the paper work and she told me I had use of the place for the entire day, so my event time didn't really matter. I put down my event time was until 4. They sent me a letter refusing to return any of the $300 deposit I paid because I went over the time of 4pm. (And because they say I didn't sweep and mop, I did sweep). If my event ended at 4, how would I break down and clean and be out by 4. But that didn't matter because she told me I had all day. I feel like this is a scam to keep the deposit. Additionally when I paid for the use, she did not tell me that they charge a credit card fee for using my credit card. If I had known they were going to charge an extra $24, I would have paid in cash. I didn't know until after she already charged my card. The place itself was just ok, old looking, could use some updating and fresh coat of paint. Not worth the price, and I was told it included the use of tv displays but no one could show me how to use it the day of my event, so it really wasn't included.

When it come to preparing food, their kitchen really makes it easy when we serve our own food and caterers find it useful as well. I was really impressed with how many people we could seat and still have room for people to dance. Our DJ liked the area on the stage for him to set up. You can't go wrong with the price and the great service makes this a hell of a bargain.
