I fell in love with Brookshire Gardens years ago when scouting locations for a corporate holiday…read moreparty. I've grown up here and love that the venue included one of the area's most historic homes. So I knew as soon as I became engaged, that I wanted to get married here. The ceremony site is simply gorgeous with its canopy of walnut trees and ivy covered arch; we only added a bit of decor to the start of the aisle as it was perfect as is. Booking a year in advance, didn't think we would have weather issues in late May but we ended up having to deal with a rainstorm. Kurt and Nina were awesome and let us set up tents last minute the Friday before so that they were ready to go on the big day. They even provided a pop-up tent of their own to cover our DJ. Even though we had to limit our decor to the minimal covered areas, our wedding was still the perfect day we had always dreamed of. Brookshire was reasonably priced (especially as it comes with all tables and chairs), spacious with a great layout that easily flows from ceremony to reception, naturally gorgeous (i.e. minimal decor needed and numerous photo ops), and close to town to avoid travel fees, yet still feels private and remote. Kurt and Nina were so sweet and easy to work with, you could tell by their enthusiasm that day that they truly love what they do. They were so helpful and also very prompt in returning our security deposit. Thank you for being a part of our forever!

Before I began wedding planning, I knew that I wanted a magical outdoor venue with string lights…read more But I never imagined a place like The Gardens actually existed until we toured it and saw how phenomenal it is in person! It truly is an upscale, ethereal garden and it brought my Sailor Moon-inspired dreams to life. It was so breathtaking that it was the only venue we bothered touring - we booked as quickly as we could! We only questioned that decision once, which was when we read the contract. It was a little bit surprising for the uninitiated, since we never knew a few things like how we need to add vendor counts to our catering totals or that music had to be off by 9:00 PM. But I want to reassure anyone else made nervous by these things that all of that was totally not a big deal, and actually a blessing in disguise on all counts! I also really enjoyed having Lynn being present on the grounds and a part of our wedding. She is so sweet and I heard from several guests how much they loved her and what a treasure she is. Previously, my then-fiancé and I had been to a wedding somewhere else where the staff were rude to us and other guests. We never told the couple about it because we didn't want to put a cloud over their day, but the result was that we became very nervous about our own guests potentially experiencing something like that. It was such a relief to hear how much our guests loved Lynn! She also helped me with a timing issue I had starting the ceremony, so that was a big help and support that I don't think we would have gotten anywhere else. Having our wedding at The Gardens was a dream come true and we know we made the best possible decision. I'm sure others have already gushed about having the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception at one location or the incredible bridal salon or the fact that there's so many hotel options within walking distance, so I'll leave it at that and just say that you will really love this venue if you're planning for an outdoor event!

The hideout is such a special place and we can't thank them enough for helping us celebrate our love and create lifelong memories with our favorite people. BJ and Josh and the rest of the staff are so friendly and helpful, it was incredibly easy to work with them and we really appreciated their willingness to provide advice, answer questions, and make accommodations for us.

If ever there are walks and candles, sign me up. Am I right?  For this special Christmas walk all…read moreyou need to do is show up at Armory Hall at 5pm on the first Saturday of December. You can experience the Scottish per session that's lead by pipers, flag barers, sword carrier, and other men wearing kilts. You get to walk down to the church with no street lights except the candles lighting your way. When you arrive to St. Bernard's Catholic Church the priest speaks a blessing over the congregassion in both English and Scot's Gaelic. We loved being led by pipers in the singing of amazing grace. It is such a beautiful sight to see so many different people holding candles and praising God. This tradition was started in 1982. We arrived earlier because it is always better to come early and we asked where to get candles and what to expect. They were so friendly and told us that we were welcome to stay the entire time. After the candle walk most people came back to Armory Hall to enjoy dancing, fellowship, and food. We however decided not to stay but if you have time you sure will feel welcomed here. Located at Armory Hall : Consolation Street Volcano, Ca.

Rented this hall because how beautiful it is. My one recommendation to anyone that rents this hall…read moreis to not to clean. The woman that handled the rental was very rude. I'm not sure if it was because I am Hispanic or what was the reason. They held out my deposit because we didn't put chairs back and because our decorators left a rope. I ended my party 2 hrs early and my entire family got to cleaning. We sweated, moped, and made sure it looked clean before we left. The woman was incredibly rude to me for missing my pick up time time for the keys and I can take accountability for that because I had a flat tire and was unable to get to her or my phone to call her intime but and the end of the day I was never rude, I paid in full, and I cleaned the hall. For my $500 dollar deposit to be held over some chairs a rope is wild. Any one of color avoid renting here and just anyone in general. I am not unreasonable and even if it was partial deposit I would have understood but not the full $500. Incredibly disappointed.

I have rented the Shakespeare Hall many times over the years: my daughter's wedding, play…read moreproductions, recitals, dances etc. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The building is old, but for me that is the charm of it! If you want something new and modern, this is not the venue for you. But if you want some old-world charm, with workmanship that show the beauty of lasting craftsmanship, you will appreciate this space. Although it is old, it is well kept up and very clean. There are plenty of high-quality chairs (not the flimsy ones that so many places use) and solid tables. There is a large stage which makes the expansive room even more usable as your band, sound equipment, etc. can be moved off the floor, which leaves more room for dancing and dining. It is true that there is no air conditioning, and on a very hot day the afternoon can be a problem - however, there are plenty of windows that can be opened to the cool evening air. My daughter's wedding was in July, and it was no problem. The Shakespeare Club building is lovely, the management is easy to work with, the price is better than you will get anywhere else for the quality, the kitchen is easy to work in, and the large old-fashion stage is an added bonus. Just please don't rent when I want it, cuz I for sure will be using it again and again in the future - to the delight of my guests and audiences!!!
