From the reviews

Doug and Penny Carey have a beautiful venue and are very personable and accommodating! They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our dream wedding! They even offer multiple services to choose from, such as wedding cake, DJing, catering, etc. to make the whole planning process easy.

★★★★★ — Kurt, Aug 2020

If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor country wedding, look no further than Carey Farm. Doug & Penny Carey offer that personable touch you would expect from family. It's clear they are passionate about everything they do.

★★★★★ — Susie, Sep 2019

Doug and Penny are honestly the NICEST people we've ever met. From start to finish, they gave us a feeling that they GENUINELY cared so much about our special day. We were worried about booking a venue where we would have some hotel manager that just pumps through clients and not giving proper treatment.

★★★★★ — Cole, Oct 2020

What can I say about The Carey Gardens that hasn't already been shared?? The venue was gorgeous, their references were a hit, and everything flowed amazingly on the day of our wedding But beyond all of that - Doug and Penny are the greatest couple you will ever have the pleasure of meeting, and while I know that…

Getting married at The Carey Gardens Wedding Venue

The Carey Gardens Wedding Venue 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.
