From the reviews
Absolutely fantastic place for private gatherings for just about anything. Been there several times for private meetings, weddings, and receptions. Every single time the food was extremely good and very comfortable atmosphere. Director Owen is very professional and classy at his job.
We have had excellent service and food at Lighted Gardens. Jerry has wonderful ideas and is very good at working with people. He makes the display of food eye appealing and tastes just as good. We have booked this event center for our 2 family wedding receptions and our family farm business Christmas party.
We had a baby shower at Lighted Gardens yesterday. From reserving the venue to clean up, it was a great experience. Jerry was very attentive and accommodating to everything we ask for. I would recommend Lighted Garden for any indoor venue. Thank you Jerry!
This venue needs way more advertising. It is so beautiful. The staff is impeccable. You want for nothing. They know you want it before you do. The food is so well prepared and taste is so fantastic. If you are looking for a wedding venue for both your wedding and reception, this is the place.
Getting married at Lighted Gardens
Lighted 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 Lighted Gardens
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Lighted 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.
