From the reviews

As soon as we took a tour of Basil Place, we just knew that was where we wanted to get married. We did not look any further. Basil Place is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and very well kept. It was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. The staff was phenomenal.

★★★★★ — Kerri, Aug 2022

We absolutely LOVE Basil Place!! We could of not picked a more perfect venue for our June wedding! We booked the full weekend package where we had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and overnight stay all at the venue.

★★★★★ — Rachael, Sep 2024

Basil Place was extraordinary! Michelle, Eric and Michelle were a great team; communicated well with us and provided an amazing wedding experience. The grounds are beautiful, the buildings are special and the views are awesome!

★★★★★ — Anne, Sep 2022

We just had our daughter's wedding at Basil Place this past weekend and everything was phenomenal! The venue was gorgeous, the food was amazing, and Michelle went above and beyond to make things perfect. The ceremony on the lake with the view of the leaves starting to change colors was gorgeous!

Getting married at Basil Place Wedding Venue

Basil Place Wedding Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Basil Place Wedding Venue

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Basil Place Wedding Venue — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
