I just got married here and it was truly the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. Okay, I'm a little bit biased, but sooo what!! Honestly breathtaking, peaceful, serene.
Dianna at the park was a huge help! I had access to the quaint little tea house to get dressed. My photographer got some beautiful photos in that house and all over the park - there are photo ops around every corner! I also had access to a private little garden in the back so I was hidden from my guests before the ceremony began.
My guests continue to gush how beautiful it was and how perfect the garden was for our wedding. I have had several guests tell me this is now their number one suggestion for family/friends looking for ceremony locations.
The garden houses a large koi pond, 10-foot waterfall, grassy knolls, beautiful trees, bushes, flowers, tea house - all unique things that you wouldn't expect to see in or near downtown.
Things to note:
The park offers fish food (for a cost) to feed the koi.
The park offers brochures to give yourself or group a self-guided tour.
The park offers tea ceremonies (for a cost) once a month.
