My daughter was married at Highland Gardens a couple of weeks ago. We used the venue for the ceremony, the luncheon, and the reception. We also ended up doing most of the pictures there because it was so lovely.
We couldn't have picked a better place. It was beautiful with all the greenery, and the lights and fireplace made it magical at night. The price to have it for the entire day was less than many other places charge for half a day. We also had Highland Gardens do the bouquets and other flowers. They turned out lovely, and it simplified a hectic day to just have them there for us.
The service far exceeded our expectations. We thought we were just renting the venue, and the set-up of chairs/tables, linens. We knew there would be hosts, but I thought they'd just be there in case we had questions or problems. But they were there throughout the day helping any way we needed: with the rehearsal and doing the music for the ceremony, helping us with transitions between the different parts of the day, and helping us connect our music to the excellent sound system (and playing their wedding music until we hooked ours up), and generally helping as needed. Heather was so pleasant, helpful and calm.
I also have to give them credit for helping us find our excellent caterer (Marvellous Catering), because they were able to suggest some good caterers they had worked with.
Beautiful place for receptions of all types. This is a pretty big place so it is great for large events.
Here with Our Great Friends The Day Family for Tatem and Andrews wedding Reception.. Beautiful Bride..and HANDSOME Groom..
We loved everything about Highland Gardens the layout was perfect, the decor and building were beautiful, and the service was exceptional. The major selling points for us were that linens were included (and we could have as many as we wanted), and that we could use any of their decorations. The kitchen was absolutely wonderful for our mothers to use for the luncheon and reception. We did leave a few things in our hurry to pack up and leave but Kim was great and helped us locate our items and held on to them for us. Thanks to them our wedding day went smoothly and was extremely enjoyable for everyone involved.
My family left a family reunion in Idaho and sped all the way to make it here for a dear friend's wedding reception. When we entered, we were truly struck with the beauty--the feeling, the understated opulence. I wish I had taken photos of the venue itself, but I didn't. (The photos here just don't do it justice.) It's like another world--a fairytale almost. Sometimes nursery venues have an overwhelming humidity. This place did not. I don't know if they had really good air conditioning or awesome humidity controlling devices, but the air condition was ideal--and on one of the hottest days in July, that's saying something! We sat at a table near the back to eat our refreshments, and I just sat in awe at how gorgeous the large flowering room was. The tucked away fountains made for sweet background noise and the music from the band was perfect too--not so quiet that we couldn't hear them, but not so loud that we had to shout over them to hear one another either. If it weren't for my exhausted husband and children (who had left their siblings and cousins days before they wanted and endured the long ride just for me to have a moment with my friend), I would have wanted to stay there longer. The only reason I gave the venue 5 stars is that the lady usher who greeted us as we stood in line (with ten minutes to spare according to our invitation) tried very hard to cut us off and make us take a seat without greeting my friend. (She thought they should be wrapping up and getting ready to cut the cake.) Even after my sincere pleading and explanation of where we had come from and what we had been through to get there, she was annoyed and curt. I don't think all the employees were like this though. Perhaps she was just having a bad day.
Beautiful place. Very helpful and friendly. My son's wedding and reception was held here.
Can not begin to describe how wonderful Highland Gardens is, everything we wanted and more.
Kim was fantastic to work with along with all the other staff. The price is extremely reasonable for what is provided. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.
Got Married september 2016. The venue was AMAZING!!! Very easy to plan since you get the entire day for your event. We did our wedding, luncheon and reception all in one place. The staff was great to help us pick out table clothes, and we were allowed to use any of the decor that was there. We could use any catering we wanted or do it ourselvesjust clean up after yourself in the kitchen. All the plates, glasses, and silverware, along with serving platters, and refreshment containers are available as well. Recommended to ANYONE looking for that "outdoor" feel with AC/ and heat for family and friends.
This venue was absolutely beautiful! Beautiful venue with lots of greenery, its a greenhouse, beautiful fountains, lighting, and sound system. Very little decoration was needed. The venue came with tables, chairs, variety of tablecloths, table overlays, and many decorative centerpieces.
Weddings can be stressful, but Highland Gardens made my little sisters wedding as stress-free as possible.
We were so lucky to have Vickie as our hostess from Highland Gardens. Vicke went above and beyond her duties as a hostess in making sure our needs for set-up were met, as well as constantly helping us with cleanup of dining tables. She didn't need to do this. Vickie was amazing, to say the least. This venue is so lovely!
My Husband and I love this place. We had our wedding reception and ring ceremony here last month and it was fabulous!!! Kim is amazing!!! she helped me so much with everything. Give her your pinterest board and your total and she will help make your dream wedding come true. I loved everything about this venue. Also our pictures turned out so beautiful. Thank you guys so much
