Five stars for The Gardens at Heather Farm! As a vendor, one of the most important details in planning the perfect wedding (aside from making sure that my clients are happy!) is having a strong team at the venue. From the moment I walked into the Camellia Room for my last event at the Gardens, the office staff began checking everyone's vaccination cards and then followed through with each guest. I appreciated the efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process. As the wedding continued, the staff provided constant support and was always available for any question. At the end of the evening, there was no doubt that I would be able to find a professional to be with me for the final walk-through. All of these details ensured that I would have what I needed to provide the best experience for my clients!
In addition to the venue space(s), we provide tables and chairs (some restrictions apply) and an event attendant to assist with facility needs on your wedding day. Catering, bar service, linens, tableware, photography, lighting, flowers, entertainment and officiant services are provided by other vendors.
No. You may only set up during your designated rental time.
You may only store items at the Gardens during your rental time. You may not bring items in prior to your rental, or leave items for pick up after your rental.
Yes. A one-hour rehearsal (usually a few days before the event) is included in your rental as a courtesy. However, our staff is not involved in the rehearsal; it is solely managed by the renter and is to be held in the outdoor spaces only while the garden is open to the public (the building is not available for rehearsals).
Yes. The Library adjacent to the reception hall can serve as a dressing area for the bride and her attendants before your event. There is an additional classroom-style space on the lower floor called the Rotary Room which can be rented for the groom for an additional $100.
No. Since it is a local landmark and work of art, it is important to us to preserve the visual and physical integrity of the Gazebo. As such, we prohibit any decorations to be placed on or attached to the Gazebo surface and structures. Decorations are also prohibited on the plant life (trees, rose bushes, hedges, etc.).
As a nature-based nonprofit, Certified Green Business and Wildlife Habitat, it’s important to us to protect both our property and the environment. We do not allow throwing of materials such as flower petals, rice, birdseed, or confetti. We also do not allow these types of materials indoors because they get into tight spaces in our floors and furniture and are difficult to remove.
Yes. In the event of bad weather, ceremonies can be held in the Camellia Room. Guests are seated at the banquet tables and the couple stands in front of the large picture windows overlooking our gardens. For couples who want to continue with a garden ceremony despite the rain, clients can bring in canopies to cover guests standing outside the Gazebo.
Yes, you may hang things up on the wall with ONLY clear packaging tape, painter’s tape, sticky putty, or removable “Command”-style hooks. You may not use staples, tacks, screws or nails.
Yes, however, tables and chairs for receptions are NOT included in your venue rental. You must provide your own tables and chairs for this area, which you may do through a party equipment vendor (see our list of recommendations). This area is not shaded or sheltered. Outdoor events are not permitted in the garden after dark and amplified music is not permitted outdoors after 8PM.
No, we do not have AV equipment available for use at your wedding. You must provide your own.
You may have an option to use an off-list caterer with payment of additional fees and through a special approval process. Off-list caterers must meet specific criteria set by our our venue to be approved to work your event. Approval is given on a case-by-case basis and off-list caterers may work only one event at our venue per calendar year.
Yes, however, amplified music may not be played outdoors past 8PM and should not be heard more than 50 feet from the venue, as our facilities are adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Most wedding receptions at our venue take place indoors where amplified music is permitted up to one hour before the end of your rental.
No, you cannot provide your own food for your event. All food service must come from the professional, licensed caterer selected and approved for your event. The only exception to this rule is the wedding cake/dessert.
No. The Gardens at Heather Farm is adjacent to a neighborhood and due to noise ordinances, we must close our facility at the designated times.
Yes, as long as you do not sell alcohol to guests and all alcohol stays within the private rental area. You may not take beverages out to the parking lot or into the garden once it has re-opened to the public (after cocktail hour). All alcohol must be served by a bartender from designated bar areas; alcohol can never be self-serve to the guest.
