I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything was beautiful from the first day that we met. Everything was put in place exactly how I wanted it. We had some hiccups in the beginning and they were so compassionate with making sure that I felt that everything was gonna be OK, my mom passed in June and anything that I chose to do with honoring my mom at my wedding. They helped and provided!! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to have shared in my special day. Everything from the food, the service, the decoration, the staff everything was wonderful , I would highly recommend using this venue. Thanks so much to Deb and her staff for all the extra support and love that they gave us.

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!!

We booked this venue for our daughter's wedding. She and her fiance loved the fountain and the garden. Deb was amazing right from the start, making planning the event as easy as possible. She and her staff go out of their way to make your wedding beautiful and add those extra touches unique for the couple's tastes. We had a lot of fun visits with Deb, Julie and other staff. And the wedding was beautiful and so much fun. We got many compliments on the decor and food from friends and family. Thank you so much for everything!! --The Cutsingers

When choosing a venue I wanted something that would simplify my wedding planning, yet end up beautiful. And that’s what I got with Jennifer’s garden! Everything I imagined the day would look like was set when we walked in for rehearsal. Beautiful peaceful setting to celebrate with our loved ones. Deb was so amazing and so sweet! And the officiant Julie made the ceremony a breeze but so beautiful. From the rose portion to our mothers and the poems and vows we were blown away by her preparation. I hope to never marry again, but if I did I’d choose them again!

Omg my new wife an I are so pleased with them. Such a beautiful place, and the staff 110% all about the bride and groom and making your day as wonderful as it could be! Thankyou so much for all you have done!

Many of our guest told me how great the venue was with excellent food, service and help with any issues that needed attention. We are so grateful we found this place to hold my daughter’s wedding. Their can do attitude, attention to details and helpful nature was beyond expectations. The recommendation for DJ could not have been better. Tony Ciox did his homework and delivered a night to be remember. Many actually said it was the best wedding they ever attended. We highly recommend anyone needing a first class venue for their event should contact Deb. I could go on and on. A 5 star experience!

First time, outstanding. However I think serving the food at the tables instead of outside would be better. Seniors with walkers, canes, knee and hip replacements etc. Were leaving the long line. It was too much for them to stand and wait in order to pick up their lunch. Also check in needs a quickier process. Raffles were quality and bingo was a nice filler, having tons of venders was fun. Overall, great time.

My sister and brother in-law had their baby shower here. I was the host and worked with the owner Deb to coordinate everything. She is the absolute sweetest. She was very responsive and answered all my questions beforehand. The day of the event the DJ was supposed to provide games and gifts. They were not able to do so because their system crashed. Deb provided me with whatever I needed to come up with a game in a tight situation. Her and her staff were so lovely and so helpful!. The food and service was great. The ambiance and decor of the banquet is so elegant and beautiful! Highly recommended!

Vendors and brides BEWAREAs someone who works in the wedding industry, it takes a LOT for me to leave a negative review. I have never, in over 10 years in the industry, witnessed such outright disrespect towards a bride nor received such disrespect myself.-Staff was unorganized/giving contradicting information to vendors and couple.-Venue was incredibly hot when we arrived. The bridal suite thermostat read 78º.-Staff members were consistently rude to us as vendors as well as guests and even the bride. Specifically regarding the time the bride wanted introductions. While the bride and I were discussing the introduction plan, Deb and some young boy in dirty clothes interjected themselves into the conversation and began arguing with the bride, INCREDIBLY rudely, about what time they would take place. They insisted introductions needed to take place 15 minutes before dinner, rather than the 25 minutes the bride desired. They did eventually agree to start at 6:35 as the bride wished, and it worked out perfectly - finishing introductions, cake cutting, and speeches with 3 minutes before dinner started.-When I politely requested a chair so my partner and I could sit together at dinner, I was told no. No explanation, no exception, just a flat no. When I inquired as to why, I was informed we were not allowed to sit or eat if we did not already have a chair. They claimed the couple did not include us in the count, when in fact, they had - and no additional chairs would be brought in unless the couple paid an additional fee for us. Knowing they already had, at this point I informed them I would go purchase food elsewhere. When I brought this to the bride's attention, she was mortified and incredibly apologetic - insisting she absolutely did pay for us. In addition to that, there were guests that did not attend so there actually should have been EXTRA meals. While this conversation was taking place in the hallway, the DJ and his wife were being served dinner, at their table.-During the conversation mentioned above, Deb claimed we accused her of stealing from us, which is a blatant lie. Some of our items had been moved when we attempted to use them. They were later recovered in an area outside (where neither of us had visited). No accusation was made. Rather, it was an inquiry into if she had seen them or perhaps unintentionally relocated them.-We did end up receiving chairs and food. I was served last by the dirty young boy who quite literally dropped my plate from so high up my vegetables bounced off of my plate and onto the table.-My partner and videographer was standing near the back door towards the end of dinner when Emily, the officiant/coordinator/server approached him very rudely asking if he had a problem claiming he was staring at the young boy I mentioned above.In summary, there was countless more issues that did not directly pertain to me that I have left out. This is our second wedding attended here and it will absolutely be the last. The first was not pleasant, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned. I'm sure I will receive a reply full of excuses and dancing around the real issues rather than accepting responsibility and attempting to correct them.

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding reception at Jennifer’s Garden. The venue is beautiful and the garden is wonderful for photos. Not to mention Deb and her staff are phenomenal, very personable and so kind. They are on top of everything and go the extra mile. The food and cake was fabulous. Nothing but good things to say here. Highly recommend Jennifer’s Garden for any event!

We had our daughter & future son in law's wedding shower at Jennifer's Garden in August 2022. 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.#JennifersGarden #Jennifers #Wedding

I have been to hundreds of weddings and have never felt as unwelcome and disrespected as I did at Jennifer's Garden. Anytime a question or a concern was addressed to the staff members it was met with an instant argumentative response. This might be just another Saturday for the staff but this is someone’s wedding that should be filled with joy and good memories, not rudeness and negativity. Do better! Your customers and reputation are what keep you in business.

Omg. Just don’t! It was one problem after another! Cold food. Unorganized people. Unfulfilled promises. The server looked like the cowboy in buzz light year -with an attitude I’ve never taken the time to write a bad review -I don’t usually think it dies any good to be negative -But please pick a better place for that one time special occasion!!!! I will edit and attach photos of the server in nasty clothes. Cowboy boots (dirty) and dirty clothes and a hat. Linens were all extremely wrinkled. Flow of the event was all messed up. The list of mishaps is too long. The bride and groom are happy as it was special ❤️but nothing special about the venue.

At first you may be a little intimidated by the amazing coordinator Deb. But I gotta tell you. She is absolutely amazing!! And Julie the officiant was also the greatest. Debs daughter was bartender that night and was friendly and kept up with everyone like a pro. I can't say enough about this place. From the beautiful garden to the great food and service. My most favorite thing about this place turned unexpectedly turned out to be one of the most wonderful women I have ever met. Deb!!! It was sad for me and my wife to say goodbye to her and we both hope to visit and see her again!!

It was a beautiful wedding for my friends. however all the staff was out there which I thought was very rude. Once inside, it was a nice setup. Very $$$ on there liquor if u have cash bar. The staff was rude, when I asked to have more bread withy soup the staff just rolled there eyes. Um....sorry I asked. Shaking my head. I would never let anyone get married here. Again. I wish my friends would have chosen a better place.

We had our wedding reception at Jennifer’s Garden in November of 2013. We went to a few venues before we found Jennifer’s Garden and they just did not compare in quality and price. We fell in love the first day we toured the venue and booked it that same visit. I could not have been more happy anywhere else. Deb is such a kind, compassionate, and organized woman to have running the show. I honestly can say that my reception was 100% perfect. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. The food was excellent, it was beautiful inside, and everything went smoothly. The cake was breathtaking. I found a picture of a wedding cake on pinterest and asked Deb if they could make a replica, she said no problem. When we saw the cake, I couldn’t help but cry. Not only did they make a replica but they made it even more amazing. I would refer this venue to anyone, Jennifer’s Garden made my wedding everything and more.

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!

Our daughter's wedding reception was held here in June. It was even better than we expected. Deb went above and beyond to make the day special. The food was very good and plentiful. The facility was very clean and well kept in addition to being beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and attentive. Deb personally made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. She did so many extra, unexpected things to make the day special. She really cares about the experience. She takes away all the stress so you can enjoy the day. Can't imagine doing this anywhere else.

My cousin had her wedding at Jennifer's Garden last weekend. I have to say the food was decent for my crazy Italian family. We were just disappointed on how the staff treated everyone. Some tables were over placed with guests and my mom asked politely for someone to help out two extra guest who arrived late. My mom stated the response she got from the head server was "is there a problem?" My mom could not believe that was her response. No. There was not a problem, but all we were trying to find two people seats for them to eat. Lastly, the bartenders were extremely rude to everyone trying to get a drinks. There was always an issue each time a guest would go to the bar. Numerous guests came back to their tables and stated how rude each bartender was.Overall, the hall was perfect for my cousin's wedding but the staff there needs some retraining on customer service skills. Please remember, these people are your guests and should be catering to their needs. This made the night seem like Jennifer's Garden they don't like people in general and made the guest feel uncomfortable.

Came here for a wedding. I was a bridesmaid and the bridal rooms are great! We had room to store our things. The flower girl had a couch to nap on before the wedding, and we had a good-sized bathroom to get ready in. We took pictures outside and they were lovely! The dance floor was spacious and beautiful. I’d recommend this place to anyone. The bride LOVED this place.

This review is LONG overdue. For 9 months I was planning a surprise anniversary party only for my venue to fall through a week before. Frantically trying to find a place, I came across Jennifer's Garden where I found Deb, Julie, and all the other amazing staff. They helped put together an even better anniversary party than I could have ever imagined. I will never be able to express my gratitude enough to Deb.

first of all we went there for the rehearsal and set everything up the day before and had them right down the order everything and everyone was supposed to be in. The next day was the wedding and they had the groomsmen go to one side of the building and the bridesmaids all go to the other to get ready. We got ready and the time came for the wedding to start and they mixed everybody up and paired everybody with the wrong partner to walk down the aisle with and we had to correct them three different times. Once the wedding was over all those groomsmen went to get our clothes and belongings and change again and they were trying to rush us out of there so fast that they took it upon themselves to gather all of our belongings and put them in bins and bring them to the room that the bride and the bride's maids got ready in. This led to there being pieces missing that needed to be returned from our rented suits and some personal belongings being missing. On top of that they charged my brother over $2,000 for an outdoor wedding where all we used was some metal chairs and a pre-made altar. They had horrible attitudes by the end of it because they just wanted to go home and get us out of there it almost ruined the wedding day

Came here for the French Hen market and it never disappoints. My sisters and my mom like to come here and have even stayed at a hotel to make it a girl's shopping weekend. I love all the options and variety. You get handmade crafts, gourmet treats, specialty dog treats, holiday items, body care, jewelry, designer items, and so much clothes to choose from. I really love giving business to these local sellers and shops.

My daughter recently married at Jennifer's Garden, Deb and Julie and the entire staff were amazing. They go above and beyond to exceed your expectations and make your special day the absolute best. I highly recommend using Jennifer's Garden for your wedding.

The event center is spacious, good meeting center if the room sizes work for your event. Did not utilize any catering or other services. A bit outdated. Beautiful outdoor fountain.

I went to a wedding here, the place it's really nice. The food was good but warning! The beef was super bloody, just a few people ate it. I think if there is an event for a big amount of people you should cook the meat more because not too many people like it like that. I'm sure we threw away more than a half of the people's plates and that is very sad! The chicken was good, everybody ate it! Everytbing else was pretty delicious! The drinks were good too!

If I could give zero stars I would . My fiance and I have put off our wedding almost 5 years now trying to communicate with Jennifer's garden for our wedding. This is where my Mother dreamed of me getting married and now she has passed dafter my many calls and email noone could assist my family in our dream ... I officially give up on this place

An association I am part of has held our annual banquet here for 2 years now. Deb and her staff go out of their way to ensure the evening is a success. When we had a concern about the meal, they listened and made adjustments, and this year Justin and his team delivered a fantastic prime rib. And the bakery topped the meal off with a delicious cake. Thank you again, and well see you in 2019.
