    Outstanding!!

    Jason and myself just had our wedding there 9/9/23 . Where can I start this… From day one Deb made us feel so comfortable and understanding with everything. Now the food was amazing.. We had Julie do our wedding.. What amazing person she is.. She made me feel so comfortable and also calm myself down.. Also at the end of the night Deb and the staff cleaned up everything and packed everything for us, so we didn’t have to do all of that stuff..Julie and Deb thank you so much for making sure our day was super special inside and out.. We appreciate it!!

    Great venue

    We had our daughter & future son in law's Wedding Shower at Jennifer's Garden in August. We were overjoyed with how everything turned out.

    •The food was excellent in presentation, quality and quantity. Their executive chef was able to easily accommodate our family's severe gluten allergy needs. I couldn't find another facility that could, nor even cared to help people with severe allergies. The other venues were very limited on what foods would be gluten free. Jennifer's offered a great selection of gluten free foods and were very familiar with food allergies so we felt it was safe there.
    The salmon was out of this world with a high end presentation. The mini veggies with hummus was a great touch of sophistication.
    •The service was excellent. Every need was thought of ahead of time to make our day special and flow smoothly.
    The wait staff was professional, courteous, and had a friendliness about them. Deb and Julie went out of their way to add special touches that we hadn't even thought of. I'm so happy that they added those touches for us. There was always one of the staff in the room to help us in case we had any questions. We had ordered extra plates of food in case we had any extra people come. We had a person come and they were therefore easily accommodated for.
    •The cost of the venue was competitive yet gave us so much more than other venues would give. The quality of the food was outstanding compared to the cheap food other venues tried to sell. Other venues wanted to charge for every little thing which was ridiculous. Jennifer's included a lot in their package compared to other venues.
    •Other venues had small amounts of time you could book rooms. At Jennifer's they gave us well enough time. We felt relaxed and could actually enjoy the day instead of looking at our watches to see if our time was up. That was important to us.
    •The room they gave us was beautiful and spacious. It had a great view with a lot of natural light. It made us feel as if we were having a happy, special day. With some guests having health issues, it was great to have such an open space so they didn't have to worry about being too close to others if they didn't want to. There was a lot of room for all of our specialty tables that were set up for games and activities so people could move around them easily.
    •We received a call the next day. It was a great way to follow up with us. It showed that they cared about us using their facility. I was happy with that extra effort they made.
    •Overall, I highly recommend Jennifer's Garden. We left with a great feeling and was able to really enjoy our special day. We had no issues. Everything ran smoothly and professional with a friendly human touch. I am very satisfied with every aspect of our experience and will be using them again in the future for our son's wedding.

    Loved DJing at Jennifers Garden!

    Recently DJed a fantastic wedding at Jennifers Garden. Well maintained outdoor grounds for ceremony and spacious inside...even in these Covid times! As a vendor I usually find 1 or 2 drawbacks, but everything was perfect from start to finish, no issues whatsoever...such a relief! Dedicated/hardworking/kind staff, and managers around whenever I had questions. They also did a great job with adhering to guidelines and being conscious of state regulations. Cant forget great food too! 5 of 5 stars!!! Hope to be back soon! -Tim

    Amazing Venue!

    Jennifer’s Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding! Deb is amazing to work with! She made sure to have everything perfect for us, and made planning a wedding super easy as she had an answer for every question I had. The organization of Jennifer’s Garden took away a lot of the stress I thought I would have. Also, our guests are still raving on how good the food was! I highly recommend Jennifer’s Garden for any event!

    Jennifer's Garden is an excellent venue!!!

    Jennifer's Garden went above and beyond our expectations! We were planning a 90th birthday celebration from out of state and it was easier than if we had been in the same town. The food was excellent and presented with style. The staff was friendly and always asking if we needed something. They were very flexible and really listened to what we wanted for our mother. The staff even provided extra touches that we hadn't asked for to make our party complete. We can't thank them enough for a FANTASTIC job!!

    I just want to say that Deb and her staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Julie who married us was amazing and all of our guests and ourselves loved the food and our cake. She even gave some people seconds. It was hot and fresh and their hospitality was outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It was worth every dollar and Deb really did go above and beyond with the decor. I made some new friends and for that I am blessed.

    Deb and staff were absolutely wonderful and helped us every step of the way! Even the recommendations for photographer, DJ, and flowers from Deb were phenomenal. They do everything they can to make sure your day is perfect, and especially since we planned the wedding in 6 months. We were even given ideas and honest opinions about cake, decorations, etc. I could not say enough great things in reguards to everyone there and everything! Our day was perfect!

    Deb and the staff at Jennifer's Gardens are fantastic!! We held our wedding reception there this past weekend and everything was perfect. Their service is amazing and the food was so delicious. Our wedding cake was awesome both in design and taste. The venue is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. They definitely helped to make our wedding day special.

    Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day! We wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness! Thank you for the kind words!

    Awesome wedding reception experience. Deb is an amazing planner and always answered I questions in a timely nice manor. Lynn was also great to, she helped me decorate my room and pick out the right colors. The food, drinks and cake was all amazing. I don't think anyone left hungry. The entrance from the upstairs made some awesome photos.
    Thank you Jennifer's Gardens. 100% happy!

    Jennifer's Garden went above and beyond our expectations. They have a system and it works. Deb was always there to make our wedding perfect and did whatever it was that she could. Julie was the perfect officiator for us and made our ceremony so personal but fun. Our flowers didnt show up and in 10 mins they ran and put stuff together for bouquets! It was incredible how they did everything in their power to make the day great. I would recommend them to everyone who gets married.

    Jennifer's Garden was OUTSTANDING!! No stone was left unturned and Deb was extremely fast and efficient at responding to any and all questions throughout the process! Prices are extremely reasonable, you get SO much for what you pay for, and the service is top notch. Food is great, the reception rooms are big and very accommodating.., I really can't say enough great things about this venue from beginning to end!!!

    Our daughter and her new husband chose Jennifer's Garden as the venue for both their ceremony and reception, and we are so pleased with their choice! Deb and her staff were so organized, flexible, and helpful throughout and made the day absolutely perfect. The officiant, Julie, was wonderful and made the ceremony very personal and meaningful. Reception hall was beautiful and food was excellent! Service was maybe a little "too" efficient, as they were a little too quick to take plates away at dinner in order to keep the timing in check. Also, be aware that bar closes for only 1/2 hour during dinner (not an hour as contract says) and then bar closes 1/2 hour before end of evening - so still 5 hour reception with 4 hr open bar as contract says - not a problem, but just something to be aware of. Several hotels 2 minutes away, and they offer shuttle service to and from hotels all night - wonderful! Overall a perfect day, wonderful venue at great value, and we would absolutely recommend!

    My daughter's wedding reception was even more than we imagined! Deb and her team were amazing. Deb took such good care of us from the very first meeting to the very end. She went out of her way to make everything extra special and even more than we had discussed. She personally checked on everything during our event and made sure my husband got his specialty diet challenges met. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were very generous. The cake was beautiful and exactly what my daughter and son in law wanted. Our guests commented on how wonderful everything was and how much they enjoyed the venue. I can't imagine going anywhere else for this event. It was a dream come true for my daughter. Deb took all the stress away so we could enjoy the day. We are truly thankful for Deb and the entire staff. Deb was a blessing!

    Planning a wedding can be stressful, but let me tell you working with Jennifer's Garden and Jennifer's Garden, and especially Deb, made my experience nothing but a pleasure. In the first email I sent Deb at 9 PM at night asking about more information about the venue, we received nothing but prompt responses. (I remember telling my fiancé, so shocked, that Jennifer's Garden already emailed back with info--the same night!) Deb made anything I wanted, possible, including a light wall display the week of the wedding. Deb and her team made it happen! I had my wedding on site as well and the reception was very well organized and helped set family members' minds at ease with a better idea of what would happen the actual day of the wedding. At the reception, the food was delicious (people were telling me how great it was days later) and I don't recall of there ever being a real line at the bar (we had about 170 guests). Deb and her team literally take care of anything you need and made my entire wedding experience so easy! It is easy for a bride to get stressed during wedding planning, but not when you're working with Jennifer's Garden!

    Anything and everything I dreamed of (and some things I didn't) were all taken care of beautifully at Jennifer's Garden. Deb, Lynn, and the staff took great care to make sure our wedding was nothing short of perfection. The food was phenomenal (that people are still raving about) and the sense of ease it gave me and my new husband was unparalleled. We didn't have to deal with set-up or clean-up and we were accommodated on every level we expected to be. The shuttle service was fabulous and without any snags. The cake was gorgeous and delicious. We could go on and on. But we must not forget how beautiful the venue and gardens are - our photos are stunning. If I could do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing.

    Jennifer's Garden was beautiful and well-priced. The location was good for me since my family is close to the area. Some of my vendors and bridal party members did not care for Deb, but i did not have any problems with her. The day went perfectly and i got everything that i wanted.
