From the reviews
The Waterfall was everything we ready of for our wedding! The ceremony space, cocktail hour space and food, attentive staff, gorgeous reception room! We worked with Natalie & she is a god sent. She answered every email with my hundreds of questions promptly and reassured me that all things would be set.
The Waterfall was an amazing magical venue. My family and I were invited to share in the joy of my nephew’s wedding. The Waterfall’s unique atmosphere made every moment of the wedding ceremony memorable as well as sacred. Then the beautiful gardens outdoors were just as enchanting and elegant.
We recently got married at the Waterfall and had an absolutely phenomenal experience! From the get go, our coordinator Diandra was incredible. From start to finish she was there to support and answer any questions that we had.
The Waterfall was everything we could have dreamed of for our February wedding! From the tour, to follow up meetings and our big day the staff at The Waterfall was incredible.
Getting married at The Waterfall
The Waterfall 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 Waterfall
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Waterfall — 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.
