Words can’t express how thankful I am for The Garden’s Wedding Center. My husband and I got married in June of 2023 and we are still overflowing with joy and gratitude as we think back on our wedding day - the absolute best day of our lives. The hard work, compassion, and pure dedication Amanda, Johan, and The Gardens team put towards making our day seamless, personal, and God-honoring was truly a gift. The Garden’s made our wedding day the best day of our lives, but it was the year-long wedding planning process that gave me such peace of mind leading up to our special day. I have no hesitation when I say that Amanda was the hands and feet behind our day. She was approachable, quick-to respond, gentle, kind, and thoughtful every single time that I communicated with her. Amanda, please know that you made me the happiest, most serene bride on my wedding day and I hope that you know how cherished your work is for The Gardens and every bride-to-be that you work with. If Amanda was the hands and feets, Johan was the muscle. If we had an idea, Johan found a way, made it happen, and made it happen with purpose. Johan welcomed my family with open arms and shared his absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue with us on multiple visits. Thank you Johan for creating such a special gem of a space that truly felt like home to us. The venue was timeless, beautiful, welcoming - every one of our cottagecore chic dreams came true at The Garden’s Wedding Center. I left not only as a wife welcomed into my husband’s family, but feeling as if I was a part of The Garden’s Wedding Center family - even if for just a day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! With abounding love, The Murrays

Big Rock Creek has been our go-to wedding venue for years, and we've always been impressed with their level of service and attention to detail. They are very prompt in their communication, which is so important when planning a wedding. The amount of space they offer is truly remarkable - you can host an intimate gathering or a grand celebration of up to 500 guests, all on the same beautiful property. It's so convenient to have everything in one place, from the ceremony site to the reception area to the on-site camping accommodations. We've been with the Big Rock crew since they first opened, and it's been amazing to see how they've grown and evolved over the years. Every time we visit, it just keeps getting better and better. If you're looking for a versatile, well-run wedding venue, we highly recommend Big Rock Creek.

We wanted to have a wedding that was outside the city with a country setting. We also wanted to have more room to ourselves and not be stuck in a tiny room for our dinner. This was the perfect place. We got to use their ballroom for our dinner and we had a private bar. They also let us set up some decor on their patio which was connected to the ballroom. I could not have asked for it to go any better. I would do it all over again if I could! Just kidding, planning a wedding sucks but we had a great time at their venue!
