From the reviews

This place is a little slice of heaven. As a photographer, it's hands down one of my favorite locations to host family sessions. Of course there's the greenhouse (that they style in unique ways for each season) which is beautiful and magic in and of itself. But there's countless more areas to utilize!

★★★★★ — Laura, Oct 2022

Rose Farm did the flowers for my October wedding and blew all of my expectations out of the water. The flowers were stunning and so much care was put into the entire experience from the first meeting to the day of.

★★★★★ — Holly, Jul 2025

I had my wedding at the farm and it was PERFECT!! They accommodated everything, they give so much love. Karri did my flowers and they were stunning! If you want to have a wedding this is the place to do it, it’s magical. I have no other words to describe it.

★★★★★ — Kierstyn, Oct 2022

I love the rose farm! Every time I go I have a wonderful and different experience, from learning new skills like bread making and crafting to hosting my bridal shower and ordering wedding flowers from them, they do it all while creating an unforgettable experience with THE BEST customer service.

Getting married at Rose Farm

Rose Farm 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 Rose Farm

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Rose Farm — 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.
