From the reviews
If you are reading this review right now, you already know that planning a wedding can be a stressful process. If you choose Timberlake Earth Sanctuary to host your wedding, your stress level will be significantly reduced.
There is not one thing that I could ever say negative about this place. We had to cancel our wedding mostly due to Covid and the staff really helped us out by letting us use the land for a friend retreat instead. This place is pure magic.
Such a Special Place to Get Married! We’re so glad we chose Timberlake Earth Sanctuary for our wedding — it was truly the perfect place to celebrate such a special day. From the very beginning, working with Cyndy was so easy. She was friendly, responsive, and made the whole planning process feel smooth and stress-free.
My husband and I chose this venue to host our Lord of the Rings-inspired wedding because of how magical the property looks and feels. The woodlands is breathtaking in the Fall and the reception tent made us feel like we were the guests of honor at Bilbo’s 111th birthday party.
Getting married at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary
Timberlake Earth Sanctuary 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.
