From the reviews
My son and daughter-in-law were married here recently. First, let me be the first to tell you this place is absolutely magical. From start to finish, everything about this place is amazing.
It's been 4 years since our wedding and people still comment how we had the most beautiful ceremony. Mary Ann is great, she let us walk the gardens for our maternity photo shoot, free of charge. It felt like walking through a memory and now plan to take a photo there every 5 years.
Very beautiful grounds only because of the owners Gary and Mary,'s hard work and dedication. Panola valley gardens are absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend coming here for your weddings or any special occasion or Tea in the garden.
Mary Anne (owner of the gardens), Patty (the gardens personal chef) and the crew were amazing. Mary Ann made our ideas a reality for our wedding. The flower arrangements for the centerpieces were beyond beautiful, the garden was stunning, the table displays were perfect. The only thing we needed was more time.
Getting married at Panola Valley Gardens
Panola Valley Gardens comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
