From the reviews
The Garden Room Cafe’ at Shoogie Boogies will forever hold a place in my and my fiancés heart. Kathryn was beyond helpful and was so kind, caring, and considerate throughout the entire process of helping me plan my proposal. The venue looked incredible and my now fiancé was so surprised.
I had the pleasure of hosting my best friend’s bridal shower at Shoogie Boogies recently. It was the most magical experience I’ve ever had bar none. I cannot say enough about this bridal shower event; from the ambiance to the food and drinks to the hosting, everything was on point.
We had our wedding here last night and every detail was perfect. Katherine is wonderful and she pours her heart into her garden cafe and it shows. She was incredibly hospitable and flexible with us in the planning process. She is a really special person and and shoogie boogies is a special place.
We had an amazing experience hosting a baby shower here. Kathryn and her staff were incredible to work with. She thought of every detail and made the lunch delightful for all guests. I would highly recommend for any special occasion - you will be well take care of!
Getting married at The Garden Room Cafe' at Shoogie Boogies
The Garden Room Cafe' at Shoogie Boogies 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 The Garden Room Cafe' at Shoogie Boogies
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Garden Room Cafe' at Shoogie Boogies — 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.
