The issue that came up is something that I have had to take a few weeks to fully process and I only leave this post as a way to give feedback to the owners and prevent what happened to us happening to others. The owners were very helpful in that they moved chairs for the ceremony and set up the tables and chairs for the reception, they graciously allowed us to rent some of their gorgeous decorations which we so appreciated. The wedding ended at 10:30pm as was their policy. We rented the house out for the weekend and so after the wedding we we're planning on having a bonfire and enjoying our night. The owner came up to me (Katy) and was very upset and demeaning. She called my wedding party degenerates and condescendingly told me that they were trying to take the keg that we had paid for to the bonfire to enjoy for the after party but that this was against their policy (reviewing their policy this is not written anywhere in it). I tried to have a conversation with her to apologize and ask what she would like us to do and she escalated things very quickly - raising her voice, calling my husband a "spoiled brat." I started to cry and she told me "tears will get you no where, honey." I told the other employee some of the things she had said to us and she gaslight me saying that I was misconstruing her words and I was just "too drunk to remember." I had a few drinks at my own wedding but was no where in a state of mind where I can't remember everything she said to us that night. I had to end the conversation saying we would talk in the morning because she continued to get more and more angry, and we were equally upset with what had occurred. I have never had an experience quite so unprofessional and had an interaction with someone who was so unreasonable and just down right mean. My feedback is that this venue become a dry venue because they clearly have issue with this type of celebration (and maybe an anger management class). The issue that I think she was missing was that it was not that we couldn't drink after the bar closed (even though as I said above this was never said prior), it was how she spoke to us and handled the situation. I truly hope this never happens again to anyone else.

Everyone had the best time and this venue is perfect for all different types of weddings. Amanda is the best coordinator a bride could get. Julian and his Mixology skills were top-tier. The whole family is so prepared and helpful. The food oh my God, the food. They cater all the weddings, and I will tell you it is some of the best food you will eat. It's unique and flavorful and we got so many compliments on how good everything tasted. There is a rule about no outside food or drink, but it's really not that hard to follow because everything they provide is way better than anything you could sneak in. And if you let them know about bringing certain things in advance, they are very relaxed about it. This rule is standard for any business to liability reasons and you just gotta role with it. It's not that hard, just be sure to remind your guests and family before hand. This family has your back and will help you make your wedding the best day possible. They know what they're doing. Johan is so nice and helpful and you can tell he truly cares about your wedding going the way you want. Any negative reviews about him are most likely embellished and honestly rude. Anyone that has a problem with him is the problem. Trust me...They've done so many weddings and really made it magical. Might I add that the pricing for this venue is very respectful and ideal for couples looking for a wedding venue on any budget. And we saved so much money on decor because the venue is already so beautiful. Thank you all so much for making the Foster wedding the best day of our lives. I can really tell that you all love what you do and care about the couples that have the privilege of getting married at the Gardens wedding center. Will be adding photos soon. :)

Moore's classic poem, Twas the Night Before Christmas. Entry is $10 per person on festive Friday. Reservations were needed and groups of people entered about 5-10 minutes apart. In each room, there was a narrator to tell us details about the room and how it related to the book. It was a cute event that helped put me in the Christmas spirit. The only downside was that there wasn't much art during our visit. And because the timed tours were coming through, we didn't get much time to look around before we had to move to the next room. It felt a bit rushed. I wish in addition to the guided tour, we could have time to look around on our own.

My mother saw Dr. Lester Carter featured on local news, and she asked me to take her to his store…read morebecause he was helping people resolve their health problems with natural remedies, so she wanted to meet him, get some advice, and buy his book. This was a concept I supported so I took her there and listened in to make sure she was getting information she expected to get. She did. First, this is one of the few remaining Hayat Pharmacy locations in Milwaukee, and it is definitely one of the last pharmacies with a "neighborhood small business" feel to it. It's very small, but there is a surprising amount of inventory, from odds and ends needed in the home to natural remedies, and of course the prescription counter in back. It was charming, and reminded me of the types of business I visited as a youngster in my own neighborhood, like the smoke shop that sold penny candies - LOL! I think there were more kids than smokers in that store at any given time. Dr. Carter seemed to be a very knowledgeable, kind, and caring man. It was clear to me that he was in this for the right reasons, and I certainly respect that. He took the time to answer all of my mother's questions and obliged when she asked for a photo with him and his autograph on his book that she purchased. I don't think I'm telling you anything new when I say there is a lack of health care professionals and businesses that truly care about doing what's best for their clients. These days it seems to be about going through the motions and racking up the volume of clients to keep "corporate" happy. Neighborhood businesses like this are a treasure, so support them while you can.
