From the reviews
I've experienced Reiman as a student, visitor and now wedding photographer! This space is gorgeous in every season (but especially the warmer months, when the outdoor gardens can be fully enjoyed). The staff is kind and helpful.
We recently got married at Reiman Gardens, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or a better team to work with! We primarily worked with Saylor throughout our wedding planning, and she was absolutely wonderful!! She was incredibly kind, professional, and always quick to answer our questions.
Getting married at Reiman Gardens
Reiman 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.
