From the reviews
The wedding I attended here was held outside the gardens under the willow tree. It was gorgeous. So much so that I forgot to take pictures. The reception and dinner was held inside the old barn. The dinner was upstairs and the dance was on the main level. There were clean modern bathrooms next to the barn.
Lovely place and amazing people. They built wheelchair ramps for my brother on the spot for my daughters wedding. They were so helpful and wonderful. The venue is beautiful. 100% recommend for any event. Brookings was also a great town.
We had my Daughter's wedding out there in September of 2023. My Daughter was really very adamant about having the wedding there...even if the other people who went with her to look the place over thought the venue was a bit too small for the amount of people invited. We added a few things...but the bottom line is...
What a neat place to have a wedding and a reception! The owners there really care about quality and to keep it exclusive! I had the pleasure of playing there a few weeks ago and everything was terrific!
Getting married at Good Roots Farm and Gardens
Good Roots Farm and Gardens 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 Good Roots Farm and Gardens
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Good Roots Farm and Gardens — 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.
