Oh my where do I even begin? Julie is the reason my wedding was everything I hoped it to be. My now…read morehusband and I walked into the venue last July in awe of this hidden treasure on Dickson street already prepared to book just based on the aesthetic! But then we got to meet Julie and immediately asked where we needed to sign. Everyone in this world needs a Julie (but let's be real, we don't deserve one). From the moment we signed our date (Oct 23, 2021) Julie became our right hand lady. She was there to help us plan as much or as little as we needed assistance with. She showed us all of the amazing decor pieces included with the venue (don't worry about buying table clothes, vases, table markers, signs, ANYTHING. Julie has it ready for use!). All costs were upfront (and let's be real, way below the CRAZY wedding costs were all used to). The week of the wedding Julie acted like we were the only couple she was working with (despite having three weddings before us that week!). She called our vendors, confirmed all drop off times (and even put a few grumpy people in their place). No stress on this bride and groom! When we arrived Saturday morning everything was already set up. The tables, ceremony chairs, everything! Julie was also ready to get the floral arrangements arranged herself before I asked to out of excitement. Every hour or so she checked in on us to make sure we were okay and didn't need anything. When it was time to get down to business (aka photos and guests arriving) it was like Julie was in 5 places at once. She was handling it all! When we had a person who was not invited show up and try to make a scene, Julie was there ready to fight (well not actually fight, but make sure they didn't take one step into the venue). So on top of a wedding planner, coordinator, best friend and venue owner you also are getting a body guard! The whole ceremony and reception was perfect. Julie made sure everything stayed on track and was just a joy every second. When it was time to wrap it all up she gave us (bride and groom) some togo boxes and sent us off on our way (after LOTS of hugs). I miss the flowers and my pretty dress from that day, but I miss Julie the most. I can't image doing that day over without her. So run now to Dickson Street and book any event you can think of at The Garden Room. You will have the best day and night of your life and work with the most amazing person to exist. I wish I could rate The Garden Room 10,000/5 stars. It was such a magical experience.

We were planning a wedding on a less than 6 month timeline and considered many venues around town…read more I'll be honest, I have lived in the area for over 10 years, and was not aware of the Garden Room. When I contacted them initially, they were quick with providing all the information needed to assist in a decision even before meeting with them - availability, accommodations, and pricing of everything from facility to catering. I found others to not be quite as forthcoming with that in advance of the meeting. When we met for the first time, I could see the potential of the beautiful venue, even though we were in the dead of winter. They were very thorough in asking about our vision for the day and providing suggestions. They have a crazy amount of decor available at no additional cost, all the table centers, candles, all types of candle holders and glass items, easels, etc. that takes a great deal of worry and cost out of decorating. They offer many option for linens at a reasonable fee, and have beautiful dishes, serving pieces, etc. for your use. The catering options were very extensive and reasonably priced, compared to other locals. They were super flexible in allowing you to select from all the different items, and were good to offer up suggestions. We had heard from others that the food was always excellent, and when we showed up for a tasting nothing disappointed! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. That sealed the deal for us and we put down a 50% deposit for the venue. In the lead-up to the wedding, we met a few times, and they were gracious about us "popping in" to the venue in the afternoon hours to take a look at things for our planning. We finalized the menu a few weeks out and head count 2 weeks before. Julie provided a super detailed timeline to ensure every detail was covered, down to what we preferred to drink that day so that the staff could keep us in beverages. No bride should have to fetch her own drink! The day of our wedding went off perfectly. We had secured the office as a bridal suite/lounge early in the day and had decorating hours in the morning. We had designated parking spots for all our vendors and later for wedding party and family. The location allowed close by lunch options and the Chancellor hotel was our guests' hotel. It rained from 1:30 pm to almost 5, and I kept my cool, as we had planned for the afternoon showers and everything was managed. When the rain passed, the staff quickly had everything dried off and ready for our first pictures at 530 pm. Julie ensured everything for our ceremony and reception went perfectly as scripted, down to managing the background music herself! We had decided to have an intimate dinner in the bridal suite while our guests enjoyed the buffet and it was perfect, to sit down to beautifully prepared plates and have a few minutes of quiet reflection and time together before we party!! All the guests were very complementary of the food - spinach/artichoke dip, beautiful mixed green salad, mini muffulettas, smoked pork tenderloin with fresh yeast rolls and horseradish sauce, bacon wrapped shrimp, new potato rounds with ricotta and parmesan and fruit salad. The entire reception was managed beautifully. The Garden Room in a beautiful venue for any event. But what made it extraordinary was Julie and her staff. Their engagement from the very beginning, attention to every detail, and quality of product and service provided was really so much more than I expected. They didn't just provide a place, they helped us host the perfect wedding and reception. I highly recommend the Garden Room for your party or event.

It is not super big and is an easy walk around, even for my elderly Dad.

Great for all ages, although I think the prices are a little high compared to other Botanical Gardens I have been to. $13 for adults, $6 for kids. They have summer camp too, but it is around $200 for weekly kids classes. We usually go for special discounted events and they give free passes away for summer reading at the library.
