Exceptional choice for our wedding venue. The visitor service and event staff were excellent to work with - their communication was transparent throughout the months leading up to our big day. We knew exactly what was provided and what services we needed to contract outside vendors for. The rental and event staff ensured everything went smoothly and all the details were accounted for. No matter the season, Lauritzen Gardens is a beautiful venue, the scenery and location created the perfect backdrop for our picture-perfect, core memory-making event. I would give Lauritzen Gardens a ten out of ten recommendation for any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue.
