From the reviews

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Covington Gardens, and I was absolutely blown away! This venue is a true hidden gem—every inch of the property is thoughtfully designed, creating a breathtaking backdrop for any couple’s big day.

★★★★★ — Doug, Mar 2025

Covington Gardens is a beautiful venue! Our wedding was a dream come true. Alexis and her team were wonderful to work with. Alexis is so professional and so easy to work with. They have set up the venue perfectly from the getting ready areas, the reception, the ceremony, and all the grounds for pictures.

★★★★★ — Mikayla, Oct 2024

I married my best friend on April 6th, 2025 at Covington Gardens and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. It was exactly what I was looking for: elegant garden, fairytale, whimsical, and romantic.

★★★★★ — Sydney, May 2025

We just got married here 2 weeks ago and it’s one of the most gorgeous venues around - especially if you like the garden aesthetic! The ceremony site is what sold me on choosing this venue - I’ve never seen one more perfect! Alexis and her father (the owners) are both super friendly and helpful.

Getting married at Covington Gardens | A Weddings & Events Venue

Covington Gardens | A Weddings & Events Venue comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
