| - Phipps was an incredible venue for our outdoor wedding and reception. Definitely recommend using the tropical garden and outdoor patio for cocktail hour! We primarily worked with Nina and Carrie, who were both so accommodating and sweet. We had a full-time wedding planner but Nina help a lot with the decorations, and clean up on the day-of.
Some standout things include: If you're having a summer wedding, the tent is included, so you have an automatic rain plan. We decided last minute that we wanted to serve drinks and ice cream during the service, and Carrie at Phipps made it happen.
The only negative is that Phipps handles some of the sub-contractors such as linens and staging, so you can't really reach out to the original party in case there's an issue. At our wedding, the decorator had an issue with the staging folks over a big mishap, but since Phipps signed the contract with the staging company, it was hard to get the two parties in touch. However, Phipps was generous in partially reimbursing us for the issue.
Overall I would recommend Phipps for their beautiful venue, but also their awesome staff who goes all out to give you the wedding of your dreams!
