From the reviews

We had our wedding here on 4.24.24. It was hands down worth every penny. I'm not exaggerating, they have everything you'd imagine a wedding should be like. You start off with a tasting and meet some vendors, it felt like being in a movie. They also have a pretty lake for the ceremony.

★★★★★ — Angelica, Apr 2024

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Renee and her team. She is an experienced coordinator and was on top of everything. All my guests commented how organized everything was and how the day ran super smooth. She and her team did all the decoration which was beautiful and just how I wanted it.

★★★★★ — Fiona, Sep 2024

La Grande Estate offers luxurious wedding celebrations that are perfect for outdoor ceremonies. The staff was extremely helpful and kind, especially Madam Mamati, Ms. Rene, the energetic, and Ms. Karen, her beautiful daughter, the overall wedding coordinator.

★★★★★ — Daisy, Jul 2024

If you’re still venue shopping you can go ahead and stop your search and sign contract with La Grande yesterday because you have found it!! I can’t say enough good things about La Grande, Renee, her daughter Kendra, and the entire La Grande team. From the moment we met Renee, we instantly felt like family.

Getting married at La Grande Estates – Weddings & Fine Events Venue

La Grande Estates – Weddings & Fine Events 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.
