Our garden is an ever-changing canvas; each season brings new colors and textures that will delight both you and your photographer! The grounds offer a large array of backdrops and landscapes, capturing both exciting and intimate moments.

Spring at The Gardens is a lovely sight when all 1000 Tulips, Lilacs and Blossoming Trees burst onto the scene in May! We plant the Raised Beds in late May, then the Annual and Perennial Gardens begin to blossom. Our Rose Garden has a variety of shrub, climbing, tree and tea roses. You will enjoy the delicate fragrance as the roses begin blooming in early June and last through November. Our Herb Garden is in full bloom in June and continues to produce it's wonders until November! The tall grasses that surround the 1800's Wagon Garden are in bloom almost all year. By August and September, the entire gardens are in full bloom, thrilling not only bridal couples, but seniors for pictures, and families posing for their special family portraits.

We invite you to come sit and listen to the Waterfall as it spills into our lovely Reflection Pond. You will treasure those extraordinary moments captured in your photographs at The Gardens. The most difficult thing will be to decide which portrait is your favorite - Was it the kiss on the Wedding Bridge or the one on the Wedding Swing or the Tree Sitting Bench among the Fern and Hosta Gardens or perhaps the beautiful couple with the Historic Chapel in the background? If you have been here before, come back in the summer of 2008 to enjoy our new Japanese and Wild Flower gardens!

The following are a few notes from
our recent weddings ...


"Dear Karen and Roger, Thank you for making our wedding ceremony beautiful! We really appreciate everything. You were very helpful with the whole planning process. Without your help the day wouldn't have gone so smoothly. We will see you at a friends wedding on June 10th at the Gardens! Happy Holidays!! With love, Eric and Beth"


Karen, thank you so much for making mine and Adams day so special. You were right there for everything and there to fix and make sure everything was just right. I can't thank you enough for fixing all my flowers! I don't know what we would have done! So many people have complimented your place. It was beautiful! Thank you! Love, Adam and Vicky"

Now that the wedding festivities have ended, .... we have been really able to sit down and reflect on our very special wedding day. We wanted to thank you for being such a very special part of it! Everything was perfect, from the rehearsal dinner at ZuZu’s to the beautiful church you have! Roger did an amazing job on the video. I can recommend Roger’s video to every bride there! I cried when I saw the video and am so thankful that he taped it. Karen, thank you for everything! You made me feel so relaxed the day of the wedding. So many brides say how nervous they are that everything will go smoothly. With you, there was never any doubt .... I will be recommending The Gardens to future brides!

Luke and Jennifer Roffler


I just wanted to extend our gratitude for all the hard work that went into our wedding day! From the planning to the parking to the video- everyone was always pleasant and friendly! Our day was perfect with your help and I wouldn't change a thing! It truly is a day that we will never forget and will always make us smile!
Thanks again and God bless!

Thank you for making our wedding day so enjoyable. We expected to be very stressed, but ended up being very relaxed. We couldn't have picked a better place.

Mr. and Mrs. Lueneburg


Thanks so much for all your help and for making our wedding beautiful and memorable. The day was better than what could have been imagined and we appreciate all that you did.

Niki and Troy


Thank you Karen and Emily - You have done another beautiful job. Thank you for all your guidance and love you have shown us all. Continued success in "The Gardens"!

Thank you so much for being a part of Orvie and my special day. Without you and all that you've done for The Gardens we wouldn't have had such a beautiful place to be married!

Thank you
Orvie and Katie


We wanted to send you a card to say thank you for all of your efforts and for providing a beautiful church and gardens for our wedding ceremony this past July. It was truly a wonderful and memorable event for us and our families that we look back on with happiness as we celebrate now being newlyweds!

Melissa and Matt


I want to thank you both for all you have done. Everyone loves the DVD , great job! Without you our day would have been even crazier than it already was ..... too much stuff sooooo little time! Thank you soooo much again for everything. I love your place and it looks great and photos well!

Joy


First let me commend you and the perfect and wonderful service we received at the Gardens for the wedding on Nov. 3rd. My other son and daughter in law who were married in 2006, are sorry they did not know of you for their wedding. I can promise we will refer you to every future bride and groom we know. Again, THANK YOU very much for the wonderful service at The Gardens.

Kathy


Thank you...not just for what you did, which was wonderful, but for the way you did it! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to make our dreams come true. I cannot tell you how much we loved The Gardens! Our wedding ceremony was perfect. I hope you can make other couples as happy as we were on our special day.

Thanks so much,
Nicky and Gary


Thank you for helping make our wedding a memorable day. After finding out a few short months prior to the wedding that we did not have a location for the ceremony, we were fortunate to find The Gardens. Thank you for helping us decide on all the last minute details we needed for the wedding and helping the day turn out better than what could have been imagined.

Thank you again for everything.
Niki and Troy


Karen, Our Wedding Coordinator, was amazing! Everything ran so smoothly. The time schedule was kept. Everything started on time and ended on time, and all the guests loved the service! The recommended vendors were phenomenal. We found our reverend there and he was great! Without all the help from The Gardens we'd be lost. It was an amazing day and it wouldn't have been so perfect if Karen wasn't there!

Kasey and Robert


The Gardens has a family quality service and support that made our day very special!

Michael and Michelle


Thank you so much for being so wonderful, and helping to make our wedding day so perfect! Your chapel is beautiful, and the service you provide is unmatched. Your genuine care and concern for everything to be just the way we wanted it did not go unnoticed, and we will recommend The Gardens to anyone and everyone we know. We also thank you for recommending Father Frank .... What a gem The Gardens and its owners truly are!

With great thanks,
Charlotte & Al


Thank you so much for your time, energy and patience in helping us coordinate everything at The Gardens. We've really appreciated everything you've done; we're glad to have worked with you!

Take care,
Scott & Louise


Just a note of thanks ... Melissa & Jim's wedding was truly perfect thanks to you & your staff. All of our guests commented on your beautiful church & surroundings. The pictures that were taken are absolutely incredible! Things could not have gone smoother!

Again, thank you thank you -
Barb


We would like to thank you for all of your help not only for the planning but for the rehearsal, and on our wedding day! It turned out perfect, we were so happy with the church and all of the staff who helped to keep us informed and on schedule. We have received several compliments on the beautiful church and surrounding landscapes. We have suggested it to several engaged couples as an option. Thanks so much for helping on our special day!

Continued success to you,
Becky


Thank you to everyone who made my wedding special - it was a beautiful day, and we took such beautiful pictures!

Take care,

Thank you, Karen, for all that you do. It's nice to know our day is in your hands!

Sincerely,
Lindsay & Andrew


Thank you so much for everything! We are so grateful for your services, love & care. You have a wonderful place to have a wedding & you made us feel so pampered & special.

We will be recommending your expertise to our friends. Everyone loved the church and gardens, too. We also loved having the rehearsal dinner in your lower level. It worked out so well. The flowers were gorgeous and so perfect. Thank you to you all!

A happy wedding in July


I wanted to thank you for a beautiful wedding ceremony. Your staff is so great & we didn't have to worry about a thing! We appreciate everything!

Nate & Lauree


Thank you!! Our ceremony was perfect! We truly appreciate your and your husband's hard work and dedication. The video turned out great. We just can't thank you enough. Our day turned out wonderful and it all started at The Gardens. The pictures turned out great too. Thank you for your attention to detail and caring about our day. It meant the world to us.

Sincerely,
Mohamed & Jackie


Thank you! Thank you! We're so glad we found you and The Gardens on the Internet. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to have our special day. With so little time to plan, having you and your wedding gallery made it so easy and convenient. Each and every one of your vendors was wonderful. Your guidance & caring really brought it all together. Without your personal commitment and caring our ceremony couldn't have been as nice as it was!!

Thank you again,
Cindy & Scott


Thank you for being a part of our wedding day (and everything leading up to our special day). You were a great help and you made our day complete. Thank you for everything!

Sincerely,
Mike & Chrissy


I just want to thank you for assisting me in fulfilling my childhood dreams for a lovely wedding. I cannot find the words - I do not think they exist - to express my extreme gratitude towards you, your family & your friends who all helped in their own special ways to make this happen!

Thank you so much,
Scott & Lisa


Thank you so much for coordinating our wedding ceremony. Everything was very nicely done. We're fairly certain our day could not have been better!

Many thanks,
Eric & Chris


My husband Christopher and I were married at The Gardens. I just wanted to let you know that I have recommended The Gardens to a fellow nurse at work who has just gotten engaged and is starting to plan her wedding. After discussing her wedding themes and the atmosphere she dreams of, I just had to tell her to visit The Gardens website and give you a call. Thank you again for making our wedding so beautiful and filled with the wonderful, everlasting memories we always hold in our hearts. Take care and God Bless.

Sincerely,
Heather


We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the use of your most beautiful church. Our wedding was absolutely perfect!

Your church and gardens are absolutely gorgeous and the services you provide are just as great! The rehearsal, gardens, bell tower, bride's and groom's rooms, etc., are all "over the top". The suggestions, accommodations, helpfulness, and patience are appreciated more than you know. We couldn't have asked for our wedding ceremony and site to be anymore perfect.

When my brother realized an hour before the service that his vest was black when everyone else's was red, you jumped to help get him the right one. You were there in seconds with a sewing kit when buttons were falling off of the bridesmaid's dresses. You waited with me and my dad at the door with encouraging and calming words moments before we walked down the aisle. You were awesome!

Your church was admired by so many that day. Your hard work and pride for your church was noticed by many ... Thank you again for giving us a Christian platform to have our wedding and for the platform you give Father Jim and Father Frank to help us strengthen our marriage ...

Thank you again,
Tracy & Brion


Shawn and I would like to thank you for everything. Your place is truly beautiful and a wonderful place to get married. It's nice that everyone gets a consultant! Thank you for a job well done.

Mr. & Mrs. Kopping


We just wanted to say thank you for everything. Our wedding last weekend was perfect. We are very pleased that we chose The Gardens!

Dan and Sandy
