From the reviews

I photographer Brett + Sarah's wedding here in 2022 and WOW what a beautiful venue with amazing scenery. I couldn't stop finding hidden gems around the whole property to take photos. Even the bridal suite had beautiful lighting. I highly recommend it as a wedding venue.

★★★★★ — Megan, Feb 2023

I got married at The Gardens At Ray Eden this fall and I wanted to share my experience. I have always dreamed of an outdoor venue and this place far exceeded any expectations either of us had imagined ! I could not believe the scenery was still so full of blooms. Our photos turned out beautifully.

★★★★★ — Ruth, Nov 2013

I had the most beautiful wedding 10/04/15. It was originally scheduled for the 3rd but bad weatherforced us to move it to the next day. Mark was fantastic about moving the date. The gardens are spectacular. I think the guests had more fun exploring the grounds than at the reception!

★★★★★ — Sherri, Oct 2015

Beautiful wedding venue. As a DJ, I loved doing a gig here and hope I have more clients holding their weddings/receptions here in the future.

Getting married at The Gardens at Ray Eden

The Gardens at Ray Eden 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.
