My husband and I recently got married at the River Road and Jasmine Houses and Gardens, and it was the most enjoyable experience working with Sarah and her team! We could not be more grateful we chose to have our wedding here.

★★★★★ — Brianna, Oct 2025

I do not typically write reviews online but the experience we had at this venue could not go unrecognized. We recently rented the garden's for our daughter’s wedding and reception. The owner of this venue guided us through the process in such an organized manner that it greatly reduced our worries and stress.

Getting married at The River Road and Jasmine Houses and Gardens

The River Road and Jasmine Houses and 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.
