Thank you for visiting The Gardens website! We are excited to show you what we have to offer. Please take a few minutes to visit the Take a Tour page and the Picturesque Gardens page to see some of the beautiful moments captured here! It is our commitment to provide outstanding, detailed service to all of our customers. Many bride's are so excited to see our beautiful photo's that they skip reading the rest of this Welcome Page - you will find our hours and prices here.

The Gardens offers:

  • Indoor Weddings in Historic Chapel with Seating for 400
  • Picturesque Gardens for Outdoor Weddings, Senior and Family Portraits
  • The largest variety of Sand Ceremony Items!
  • The Gardens Wedding Center operates within a historic two-building complex built during the mid 1840's. The church boasts of its heritage with rich woodwork and original stained glass windows, which illuminate the church with warmth and color. The authentic church bells still ring out after every wedding announcing to the entire area that another "Happily Ever After" has begun!

    Wedding times at The Gardens are Fridays at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and Sunset. Weddings may be planned outside and moved inside if weather is a concern. (We have only moved one scheduled outdoor wedding inside due to weather). There is only one wedding on the property at a time. Arrival and departure times are scheduled for each respective wedding. Don't worry; although we are a busy wedding center, your time here is not rushed! Many photographers and limousine services have been here and know our schedule well. We work together to help ensure the pictures you desire and the ceremony you wish for all take place in a timely manner. It is always an exciting and beautiful day! Our rehearsal times are on Thursdays and Fridays at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

    For a small fee, a Personalized Wedding Day DVD is offered capturing the memories of your special day! Our professional video technicians capture the beauty of the gardens; visit with members of the bridal party, family and guests, and video your wedding making for a treasured keepsake! Because we do not add the expensive special effects, your DVD looks great and is ready when you leave the property!

    We offer guided tours of the church by appointment. We are always available for your questions by phone at (262) 629-4446 or (262) 629-4411.

    Come visit us! Our hours are Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Please call to make an appointment.
