“Our outdoor wedding ceremony was in early September; a gorgeous 70 day! The flowers in the front garden were in full bloom. Vibrant purples, pinks, yellows, greens, white made for ZERO decoration and savings galore! Almost 6 years later, my guests still tell me that my wedding was the most fun and relaxing one they'd ever been to. I'm so thankful for Garten Marketplatz and the relaxing atmosphere. I wouldn't have changed a single thing about my perfect day.”
