The Gardens of Castle Rock helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. My wife and I toured the venue and fell in love with the place even in the dead of winter, we said to each other " we would do it right here right now with no additional decor" because we loved it so much. This venue was not only LGBTQ inclusive, but was very intentionally more than just inclusive/tolerant- they made it very clear they were LGBTQ SUPPORTERS AND ALLIES. My wife and I felt safe with every staff member throughout every step of the process. Shout-out to Glen for his beautiful artwork and warm soul! Shout-out to Tammy for being our cheerleader throughout all of our planning We had continuous compliments from our guests about how perfect the venue was.

This venue was so amazing! The grounds are beautiful and are perfect for customizing to whatever your theme is. They have lots of rental items available for reasonable prices, which was really convenient. We hired Megan to be our day-of coordinator, and this was the best decision! She is so organized, kind, and truly invested in your wedding day. She offered up multiple planning meetings to help us feel comfortable and prepared, made sure our vendors knew what was going on, had great recommendations, and was always quick to respond via email. She and her staff ensured the day-of went so smoothly - even if something went wrong, we sure didn't notice it.

Adler Ranch is a gorgeous place! Kurt and Marlys are extremely helpful and put a lot of CARE in keeping their venue beautiful. As a wedding planner they were great to work with- on top of keeping space clean, having tools available, and helping make sure the day run smoothly. They also were both on site during the wedding day for problem solving and helping tear down. As the venue, the suites are fun and roomy. There are a lot of cute places for gorgeous nature photos. I also love their set up for s’mores and other snacks. I learned a tip from them for the chocolate!

Rustic Oaks is beautiful and the barn is so cozy and charming. There's a separate get-ready house and a 10 bed/10 bath house for all of the bridal party to hang out in. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!! Addison was the cherry on top. I bought bulk florals from a wholesaler and she stepped up to put them together into a ceremony piece for me. She is AMAZING as a day-of coordinator and was so communicative all throughout the process. This weekend was the best weekend of our lives and a lot of it is thanks to Addison and Rustic Oaks!

What a treasure! I recently delivered and set up florals I created for a wedding. I had never been to the nursery/venue before, and I must say my curiosity was peaked. Wow…this was more magical than I could have imagined! Not only is the property historical, the charms of the buildings and patios were like walking through an English garden. Upon going inside, I was again, enamored with the vibe of this venue! It had a modern rustic charm to it- bright white walls, warm wood features & an antique garden gazebo, among other unique features. It was enchanting to say the least! It is perfect for an intimate event. It has plenty of space for many guest tables, features tables (food, photo) and photo opportunities. The natural light through the windows that look out onto the patio gardens provide a perfect blend of letting the beauty of nature in. The staff was very friendly, helpful & hospitable. I met several of the staff that day and you could tell they loved what they do out at Marketplatz. I am very much looking forward to my next event there.

The Emerald Cottage on Hidden Lane was an exceptional venue. I used the space for a small gathering and the venue managers were communicative and friendly throughout the entire planning process, and their attention to detail was remarkable. The venue itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pine interior that created a warm ambiance. They went above and beyond to support our group, even offering to help us load and unload our decor. This space is stunning for a wedding but would also make a great space for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, family get together or any other intimate group gathering.
