They had a great selection of items from wall art to t-shirts. If you're a fan of Frida you definitely need to stop by. They have a abundance of items.

We celebrated…read moremy daughter's quinceañera and it was always a great experience working with the staff from beginning to end. Since the initial meeting, we meet with Liz (Owner). She explained everything in detail and provided options. Throughout our planning- texting was an option which always had quick responses. The venue is such a beautiful place- we had the Ambassador room - which fit perfectly to my daughter's theme. The venue provided so many items- plates, utensils, tables, chairs and linens- which is great- a few less things to think of! They also provided a vendor list in which I used 2 vendors from - great experience with both! On the day of , the staff was ready and professional at all times. I had to move out the start time by an hour and they were quick to adjust. Throughout the night they cleaned up and were ready for the next item- cake cutting- late night snack. Overall, my daughter had a beautiful event and all my guests were happy and this is all to the amazing staff at The Rose Gardens. Thank you!!!

I had my daughters quinceañera last year in July. The place is beautiful and her quince was one to…read moreremember. My only complaint with this venue is the lack of customer service the owner Liz Mejia has. She's not very personable and the relationship she sets is far from comfortable and secure, she has this "I'm far more superior" aura to her when she speaks to you. The process leading up to my daughter's event was a complete nightmare. We're opting to have my other daughters quince at the White House Event Center. All the girls there have been amazing & fun to work with. The Rose Garden charges certain hidden fees that didn't really make sense, & when asked to break it down Liz just mentioned that's just how they do it. There have been many reviews on the lack of transparency and vulnerability as far as how they speak to you as a customer. So that's why we opted to look elsewhere for my other daughter, wasn't worth going through the same nightmare twice. My only positive review for this place is Mayra! She was amazing and superb at helping me stick to my timeline throughout the night. She carried me through and helped keep me calm & fun. She was amazing!

She was onsite and able to respond quickly when needed. The facility was clean and charming, just what you'd want from a historic home. The gardens, where we spend most of our time, were well manicured and beautiful. The ballroom area was cool and perfect for dancing and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with cleaning supplies. Will definitely book here again, maybe a wedding next!?
