The decor that they have set up (even before we set up any of our own decor!) is so beautiful and elegant and it makes adding your own spin so very easy! Katey and Nathan are extremely easy to work with and communicate very efficiently. On our wedding day they were busy behind the scenes making sure everything was running smoothly.My husband and I recently got married at The Herb Garden and it was the most perfect atmosphere we could have asked for.

- MMike Ostrom17/09/2024The most perfect, beautiful venueThe most perfect, beautiful venueIf it wasn't for this venue, we would have likely cancelled our wedding. It was the most perfect, beautiful venue and was exactly what we were looking for. We only saw one venue, and booked it before we left. The owners are the most amazing people and are perfect for this industry. Katey and Nathan don't just provide you the venue, but provide you the opportunity to make your wedding how you want it. The flexibility of bringing in our own catering, alcohol service, music options made it unique.If it wasn't for this venue, we would have likely cancelled our wedding.
