From the reviews
Dara's Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the first time we met with Kate, I knew everything would be handled perfectly. The ladies are just as detail oriented as I am and dealt with any issue or question I had promptly and efficiently. The day of my wedding, before the ceremony began, it rained.
Got married here three weeks ago. Was the most beautiful venue in October! Kate has been so great to work with. Dara's doesn't nickle and dime AT ALL! The bridal and groomsman suites are so nice and the indoor space downstairs is perfect for your gift table. You can even decorate the fireplace mantle to fit your style.
I cannot say enough great things about Dara’s Garden! Dara and Kate were both so incredible to both me and my wife throughout the process of planning our wedding. They were very accommodating and allowed us to be on the grounds whenever we wanted in order to plan everything.
Beautiful venue for various wedding themes and styles! The beauty of the gardens provides the perfect setting year-round with several options for a variety of photos. Dara and Kate are great to work with—always receptive, accommodating, and friendly. Dara went above and beyond to calm my wedding week nerves!
Getting married at Dara's Garden
Dara's Garden 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.
