From the reviews
My family and I and friends had a wonderful experience with having our mother's 80th birthday celebration there in their beautiful grand ballroom on Dec15th, 2024. Kaitlin, the banquet manager was diligent from the beginning till the very end and after in responding to questions, and accommodating our requests.
We just had our Wedding here over the weekend & we cannot say enough From the moment we booked Christie was amazing. We had the all inclusive package & everything was perfect our centerpieces from Doris the florist was beautiful although we upgraded it. The Photographer Hilite Studios-Jim was terrific !
My husband and I hosted our baby shower at this beautiful venue! Kaitlin the banquet manager was so sweet and helpful! We had the best staff assisting us during our shower. Rebecca and Danny were so kind and attentive to us and our guest the entire time! We had a fabulous bartender creating delicious drinks!
Special thanks to Kaitlyn, Bridgette, Joe and the entire staff at O'Connell Gardens. My husband and I booked this venue to host our Baby Shower/Gender Reveal for 166 guests. The booking process was smooth. Both Kaitlyn and Bridgette assured all on our wishlist was executed to perfection.
Getting married at O'Connell Gardens
O'Connell 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 O'Connell Gardens
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at O'Connell 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.
