Kind Words

Kind words from some of our happy customers.

Kristen was amazing to work with from start to finish and has worked to create such a beautiful venue! Having our wedding at Garden Valley Gatherings was one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding! Kristen helped us in so many big and small ways to make our day come together perfectly! The venue is gorgeous and offers so many options! Decorating was so much easier, because she has already done a lot of work to make the venue beautiful and added so many small touches that make it unique. Our photos turned out so pretty on this gorgeous property! Thanks again for everything, Kristen!!

"My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Garden Valley Gatherings this past August. From our first tour of the location, we fell in love with the gorgeous barn and scenic surroundings. Throughout the process of planning the wedding, Kristin went above and beyond to make sure that our day was perfect. She offered great suggestions and helped coordinate everything from vendors to the order of events. Her attention to detail is incredible and she truly puts her heart into her work. Kristin genuinely cared about what we envisioned for our wedding day and helped capture that.
This venue has so much to offer. There are multiple options for ceremony and reception sites, locations for getting ready, and places for your guests to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. To this day, our guests still comment on how beautiful this venue was! A few other aspects that we really enjoyed about this venue were the convenient restrooms, gorgeous bridal suite, and fresh cheese curds from Kristin’s family farm during our social hour.:)
This location was the perfect place to celebrate such a special day. My husband and I are so grateful that we chose Garden Valley Gatherings!"

"We had our dream wedding here!! This venue is so beautiful that we had to book it even though Tyler and I and our family live 2 + hours away. The bathrooms are fantastic! So many people gave compliments. They also offer a Bridal suite for the night of your wedding day to stay in. It is STUNNING! The owner Kristin is absolutely amazing. The day would not have been possible without her. She is so organized and makes the day run smooth for you. It was unbelievable how much work she did. All we had to do was drop off the decorations and she took care of the rest. We showed up on the day of the wedding and everything was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We had so many compliments from our guests about Kristin and the venue. We were told this was the best and most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. It was so nice working with Kristin as she is so kind and genuinely cares about you."

"We got married at Garden Valley Gatherings on October 12, and we would hands down recommend this venue to anyone, Kristin is absolutely amazing to work with. This is the first and only venue we looked at, we fell in love with it right away. Kristin truly puts her heart and soul into every wedding and event she holds here, she is constantly adding to the venue to make it even more perfect, and will do anything she can to make your day exactly what you imagined. The bridal suite is so nice, I stayed with my bridesmaids Friday night, and we stayed as a married couple Saturday night, it was amazing to wake up to the sunrise. Kristin stays late and shows up early the weekend of to make sure everything is perfect, she answers emails and questions almost instantly, and would even text me Pinterest pictures that made her think of us throughout the planning process. Her dad welcomed us and the wedding party into his home before the ceremony and shared wine. She made our whole day run smoothly and made everything less stressful. The barn is beautifully decorate, there are endless picture opportunities, and Kristin has so many great ideas! The day of our wedding it was much colder than we ever imagined it would be and even snowed, Kristin and her husband made sure the barn and tent were warm enough for our guests and even borrowed some heaters from neighbors for us. They were the absolute best, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else to plan our wedding. They helped make our day more perfect than we ever dreamed."

"I can truly say how wonderful it has been working with Kristin and Garden Valley Gatherings! My wedding isn't even for another year, but I already feel that she has gone above and beyond to help the planning go smoothly. The venue is absolutely beautiful, from the gorgeous wood work in the barn to the perfect outdoor scenery with plenty of space for friends and family to enjoy the special day. I highly recommend booking with Garden Valley Gatherings. I cannot wait for my fall wedding in 2018!"

My husband and I got married at Garden Valley Gatherings in May of this year. The venue is beautiful. The hosts are very helpful and willing to do whatever it takes to make it what you want. They not only provided the venue but also provided suggestions on flowers, food and decorations. Thank you so much for your hospitality!!

Where do we even begin? Kristin is an incredible person to work with & made every minute of wedding planning enjoyable. The venue is stunning and has so many options to choose from. Kristin did a wonderful job with coordinating our wedding day, bartending, helping with ideas, letting us use some of her decorations & the list goes on. I am so blessed that we booked our wedding day at this venue. Our guests loved it & so did we! I wish I could relive this day! 100000% recommend Garden Valley Gatherings!!!

My husband and I had our wedding here 8/8/2020 and this venue is a solid 10/10. I deeply recommend taking advantage of the house on site, as that was a great place to relax Friday night with with the wedding party. It was very convenient when it came to getting ready for the ceremony. We did the ceremony under the Big Oak Tree, so we just stayed in the house and walked out from there. We also had the pleasure of using the brand new pavilion. Great place to hold your dinners with plenty of space for numerous guests. I don't know how we would have survived the ceremony without Kristin, she is extremely helpful during that time. She also checked on my son a few times while he was sleeping so my mother didn't have too. Fantastic environment, and wonderful staff.
Thank you Garden Valley Gatherings for helping us get through the whole weekend.
