Everything went very well at the garden room. They have events, especially weddings, down to a science. 10/10 would get married here again. The place itself is great for a wedding or any event really. The chapel is large , which is next to the cocktail lounge, which is then next to the reception room. All very nicely placed to transition from ceremony to reception. We had about 160 guest and the entire space felt ample and not crowded. There was plenty of parking and a very nice garden for pictures. Everything is very well maintained. Josie and the rest of the staff, to include the owners were fantastic. They really have the whole operation down pat. They worked with us from beginning to end by helping us prepare for the wedding to executing the ceremony and schedule flawlessly. Many of our guests were complimenting the venue and some even asking for the information. Food was great, drinks were great, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend. We also recommend the photographer they recommended Darren. Pictures don't do this place justice, Must see in person. Thanks again Garden Room! read more

My new husband Dylan and I had our wedding here at the Garden Grove location on 3/13/26! It was BEAUTIFUL and everything went so smoothly! We worked with Kim and Josie! And Ashley was also awesome and super kind as one of our day-of coordinators! We met and had our final meeting with Kim and she made us feel really comfortable and made the appointment go really smooth!! We worked really closely with Josie throughout the whole process and she was AMAZING. Always on top of communication, always answering any and all questions we had (and we had a lot)!!! She was really knowledgeable and just overall a wonderful person. I'm really grateful to Josie for making our experience truly a fairy tale. Thank you so much to the Garden Grove team for making our day so special!!! The food was SO BOMB!!! We went with the "Touch of Italy" buffet option and I am so glad we did!! I keep dreaming of those stuffed shells!!! We added on appetizers for the cocktail hour and those were also delicious!! The drinks were also really really yummy!! Shoutout to the bartender for real!! The bridal suite is so cute and such a perfect place to get ready the day of with its own full bathroom! The groom also has a space to hang out in which is awesome! The gazebo outside for pictures was so perfect. I'm telling you, really something out of a fairy tale. The location is really great, as it's not far from hotels the freeways, and some restaurants, so the convenience is really nice!!! They also include the cake in the package which is a really nice gift, as cake prices alone are super expensive. The cake itself and the fillings were also really delicious and it was beautiful! All in all, I am very happy that we chose this location to host our special day. If I could do it all over again, I'd choose The Garden Room every time. Thank you again, Kim and Josie, for everything, truly. Josie, I cannot thank you enough. Can't wait to have our vows renewed here some day!! read more

We had our wedding here on Saturday This place is amazing, the price is sooo right, the food was delicious, the service was over the top. The Garden Room makes it so easy for you, they have everything you need and if you want to make it our own and add special touches, that's fine. They kept the night moving, they catered to everything we needed. Their staff, they hire the sweetest people. Not only were they amazing to me and my husband but they were soo sweet to our guests. We had so many people stop to tell us how wonderful everyone was. Special thank you to Josie and her assistant, I'm so sorry I'm terrible with names. The security guard who was so much more, thank you Jack for helping me with all the containers and helping to set things up. And the sweetest lady who was with you, I'm so sorry I forgot your name. You two helped me so much and I truly appreciated it. If your looking for a venue that has it all, (the chapel, bar, reception, cocktail area, outside gazebo, patio) and makes the process soo easy on you, check out the Garden Room. They do not disappoint. read more

I had my wedding here at the garden grove location and the staff did the most excellent job making sure that I have a truly unforgettable wedding! They were patient, responsive with text messages , trustworthy, and had such positive energy to the point where I felt like I knew them before lol! Shout out to Kim, Josie, and Mary for being such great wedding coordinators! They took great care of me as a bride and I would recommend anyone doing their wedding, birthday, or anniversary at this venue. My wedding day went by very smoothly! Beautiful outside gazebo, classy vintage inside chapel and reception room! However I did get mixed reviews on the food, some people liked it, some people said the salmon and chicken were a bit dry. Overall I would give the venue a solid 8/10! read more

This place was BEAUTIFUL! The venue ALONE needs no decorations, and the outdoor views? BEAUTIFUL! Josie is VERY stern, but in a stressful environment where things are going 100 MPH, you need someone that will come in and take charge, and Josie did just that! She made sure we stayed on track, and everything was great. All of our guests loved the meal, and John and Ashley also did a great job assisting Josie. Everything was perfect! read more

This event location has just the right amount of space for a small gathering of a couple hundred guests. There is a good sized reception area with dance floor, a gazebo outside for photos, and for weddings it has a small area inside for the ceremony. There's a bar, lots of chandeliers, and some separate little sitting areas by the main entrance. The parking could be better though. Although it is nice to have an awning at the entrance doors, making it an easy and covered drop off. If you're looking for a decent but small event spot in the area, this is a great choice. read more

Overdue Review, But Well Deserved! I'm finally writing this review because this venue and its team truly deserve it! From the moment I first inquired about venue availability to receiving a thoughtful thank-you card after the event, everything was smooth, professional, and simply delightful. Every single staff member who communicated with me, whether via email or phone, was incredibly helpful and responsive. I was able to do a walkthrough and discuss the pricing details with ease. Kim and Josie went above and beyond in assisting me with options to meet the minimum cost. Communication is absolutely key when planning an event, and these ladies nailed it--I never had to chase anyone for updates. If it wasn't a phone call, it was an email, and it always came on time. The venue itself was stunning, especially during the holidays. They gave us an hour before the event for setup, which was perfect since the holiday decorations were already in place. The atmosphere felt like a cozy, traditional Christmas with forest greens, Santa figures, beautiful lights, and Christmas trees everywhere. I brought my own centerpieces, which made setup super easy. I also highly recommend 8bit Photobooth--he's a previous vendor of the venue, and his professionalism and communication were on point as well. I'll leave a separate review for him, but definitely check him out! As for the food, it was incredible. There was so much to choose from, and the presentation was perfect. The mushroom appetizers were a standout--I am still dreaming about them! Jack, the security detail, was fantastic, and along with Kim (the event captain), I was able to fully enjoy the party without worrying about a thing. I've received rave reviews from my colleagues about how amazing and enjoyable the company party was. It was definitely a hit! A few details about the venue: It's primarily designed for weddings, with a beautiful chapel at the entrance, a bar right next to the banquet hall, and an upstairs area where the bride and bridesmaids can get ready. There's also a lovely staircase leading down to the banquet hall. The venue has plenty of parking, and there's an outdoor fire pit with cozy chairs, perfect for chilly nights. The price point for weekday events is very reasonable, so I highly recommend considering a weekday party here if you're on a budget. I can't gatekeep such an incredible venue--I'm so glad I found it, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Definitely a five-star experience all around! We will be back! read more

We had our wedding here, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect! Truly the best day of my life.

I definitely recommend this venue for your next event. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful; especially Josie and Jack! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Thank you so much to Garden Room for making our wedding day absolutely wonderful! The entire team: Lisa, Kim, Josie, and Jack, just to name a few of the great people we had the privilege to interact with, were friendly, understanding, and professional. Lisa is the owner, and she's created such a great team culture; it really comes out in everything they do. Kim and Josie are venue coordinators, and they were responsive and knowledgeable: communicating what the venue could and could not do, organizing logistics, and helping to make our vision come to life. Jack is the head of security, and yet also found time to check on us, the bride and groom, helping us with coffee and whatever we needed. All of them were helping out the day of, adjusting even the smallest details, and helping everything flow smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and has many key features that were decision-makers for us since we had guests with handicap accessibility issues. The location is great; the venue has a spacious parking lot; and the reception area is a quick walk from the ceremony with a bar area in between, and all indoors. Garden Room did the setup and cleanup, cocktail hour appetizers and reception dinner, cake, etc., which helped simplify not only planning, but also execution the day of. There are two staircases for the bride and then the wedding party to descend from; so the upstairs area is a nice quiet space for the bride and bridesmaids, etc. to get ready. We did not have a photo booth because many walls inside are photo-worthy on their own. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers and dinner entrees a lot. Chef Tony and his team were amazing and served our guests well, especially to accommodate people with food allergies. Last but not least (honestly, we had no least here!) there is a gorgeous gazebo outside. We were able to take pictures pre-ceremony with daylight, and during reception with the nighttime lights! We are incredibly thankful to Lisa and her team, and would wholeheartedly recommend Garden Room to others! Pictures courtesy of Lumiere Curation. read more

From the first tour of The Garden Room to leaving at the end of our wedding night this venue was amazing. Big thanks to Josie for being so helpful from day one. Josie had great communication and always made us feel so cared for. Josie even helped me do the bustle on my dress after our ceremony and personally brought us all our drinks and food. She was an amazing coordinator and helped make our wedding day amazing. The food at this venue is also amazing as well as the cake. Also, our security John was great as well. Overall, all of the staff was so friendly and amazing and we could not have chose a better venue that fit our budget and our needs and made our wedding day unforgettable. Again, we thank The Garden Room for a beautiful wedding and we especially thank Josie and John for being excellent and providing us with great service. read more

Absolutely loved this place. My wedding was definitely chaotic throughout the day and this venue had everything under control once we stepped in there. Every meeting with them was extremely easy and super accommodating considering we booked our wedding with only a few months to go before the big day. We got the staircase and bridal suite added for our use and it made a huge difference. My bridal party and I were able to relax for some time before having to join everyone downstairs. The staircase made our entrances a lot more fun and added an effect to when it was time to join everyone else. Josie kept checking up on us during the night to make sure we had everything we needed. She was so sweet and charismatic that anytime something was going wrong that night, talking to her made me feel so much better. Everyone on staff that night was absolutely amazing! read more

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Garden Room in Garden Grove this past weekend (November 15th.) Josie, Kim and Lisa made everything easy! Our families loved this venue. Everyone had such a great time. We had a photo booth and an outside vendor was no problem for The Garden Room, which made us feel better while planning. The venue also recommended a DJ named Dean Hall. He was great! He kept our guests engaged while my husband and I were greeting guests during dinner and such. We honestly wish we can relive this night. All the help from The Garden Room, our photo booth (Thesavvybooth) and Dean Hall were beyond amazing read more

The Garden Grove location was the perfect set up for a Quinceañera in November (before Christmas holiday decor went up). Having a welcome area comprised of space to host a brief ceremony was convenient in addition to the classic staircase for a grand entrance. Lisa, Kim, and Josie answered inquiries in an upfront and honest manner. The detailed contract has very specific rules and restrictions, so make sure to read it thoroughly before signing. Vendor recommendations such as Memo's Flowers accommodated our budget and brought dreams to life. We received several compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the venue has been preserved throughout the decades. In terms of food, the cake, which is baked and decorated onsite, was a favorite amongst teens and adults alike. Gracias, Garden Room crew! read more

I've been meaning to leave this review for 4 months! My husband and I got married at the garden room on November 10th and had the absolute BEST experience ever! From meeting Kim to take that first tour to stopping by the day after the wedding to grab our left over items - it was perfect from start to finish! We had around 165 people attend and got compliments from almost every single person on the venue , the food , the staff! We loved loved loved how the ceremony flowed into the reception with perfection! The food was fabulous (we did the Italian food) and the guest loved carbing up before hitting the bar and dance floor! It was the best night of our lives! Kim and her staff really helped make sure everything went smoothly! I have recommend the venue to all my friends and family and hope I get to attend as a guest so I can experience the other side of things! Our pictures were beautiful out in the gazebo after the ceremony and dancing the night away with all our friends and family will forever be a memory we will never forget! The price was perfect for a venue with all that was included. I wish I could get married over and over just to experience this all again! Thank you garden room for the perfect wedding! read more

The food was delicious, the tables were the perfect shades of pink, the cake was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a perfect celebration! Kim, Josie and Jack were simply the best!

My wife and I just got married here three weeks ago 08/23/2024. The Garden Room is a phenomenal place with a phenomenal staff. Josie and Kim and the staff were so nice and helpful and attentive and made sure my wife and I had everything we needed. I loved the set up and how everything looked and the food was so delicious too. Everything was pretty much perfect. Our Officiant/DJ Chris Lee was awesome. He was easy to get along with and did a great job at the ceremony and reception. He played good music and kept the party going and people dancing all night long. He's a pro and was referred to us by The Garden Room and I highly recommend him. If you're looking for a venue for your wedding look no further than The Garden Room. You won't be disappointed.

Kim, Eryka, Tony, and Jack - thanks again for making our once-in-a-lifetime event so special. I booked about 6 months in advance to secure my date (definitely want to do that) and everything is standardized, well explained, and I knew at every point what was and was not included, what was and is not allowed. The way they booked everything helped me stay on track and organized, I had no surprises at the time of booking and on my event day. They did everything they promised and more! Kim and the team took as many of my nutty "I forgot everything I was supposed to do, please help" phone calls and emails as I needed before (and after, see below) my wedding. The value you get with their packages (I selected the one where they made my wedding cake - you WANT their team to make your cake, it was delicious!!) is incredible. For everything I got I would have had to pay double or triple somewhere else (and we did call/shop around). As our day got closer, they helped me stay cool and calm (while everything else fell apart, Murphy's Law). Their staff helped corral my family so I was able to get everything I wanted (grand entrance, the dances, dinner, cake cutting, garter, and bouquet toss) done on time. Let's talk food! You DEFINITELY want the hot appetizers. The buffalo wings my husband still dreams about. People fought over the quiches. I had their meatballs for appetizers and dinner (they even brought an appetizer spread upstairs when we were waiting to be announced into the ballroom, and they brought me more when I wouldn't share with my husband). They even brought me another little bowl to have in addition to the yummy food for dinner. The upgraded dinner options allowed me to get different types of meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and fish) for my picky guests. My guests raved about the food (I was hoping for no complaints and I got compliments). It was such a magical night, my husband and I were so happy, totally cloud nine and the Garden Room staff played no small part in that, always friendly, professional, kind, and helpful. They helped me pack away all my things like the cake cutters/champagne glasses, washing them too. Packed my anniversary tier so nicely! So grateful we had our reception here, I would recommend this place to everyone, they'll do a beautiful job for birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. All types of events! In a last bit of Murphy's law, My anniversary tier met with tragedy (SPLAT!) and they re-made it for me. I'm so grateful for everyone at the Garden Room, you will love having your event here! read more

Just coming back 5 years later to write a review because I have since learned boundaries and how to stick up for what is right. This place kept/stole my $7,000 deposit because I wouldn't have my wedding out in their parking lot during Covid times. I understand businesses struggled, but I'm sure this business received tons of federal aid. It is time Yelp sees this because people deserve to know the truth and values of a business they are working with. read more

My husband and I got married here 3/16/2024. It was the most magical and incredible experience ever . Eryka and Kim are the best wedding coordinators! Everything ran so smoothly with them and it turned out so beautiful from the ceremony to the reception. A lot of our guests fell in love with the location and the food as well. The ceremony was breathtaking. As the bride when you go down that staircase, you feel and are the star. You go through so many emotions and being nervous is a big one. Thank you Eryka for helping me get through my nerves. Being able to take pictures outside and giving our photographer a time for when we would be needed for the grand entrance heading into the reception was extremely helpful. We're happy that everyone enjoyed our grand entrance song which was "Sweet Victory" from SpongeBob. My mother-in-law couldn't believe we chose that . The rest of the evening went by so fast but the food was delicious, getting the VIP buffet was the best choice as we got try a little bit of everything. When it came to the cake cutting, my husband fell in love with the white cake w/ lemon filling. He wanted more the next day lol. Overall, it is a night we will never forget! When we finally got our photos, we were reminded of that beautiful and magical night! Thank you so much to our wedding coordinators, security, all the staff present and to Lisa, the owner. read more

My Daughter, Audri and new Son-in-Law, Michael, had their wedding on May 30th and it turned out beautiful. Thank you to these wonderful people at the Garden Room in Garden Grove.. Josie, Kim, Jack and Lisa. (I was lucky enough to meet Lisa during the wedding.) Loved that the Chapel and the Reception was all in the same place. Bridal room was so nice. Reception was set up beautifully. Food was fantastic. We were worried about the dance floor, but it fit all of our wedding guests. We had so many compliments about the venue in Garden Grove. Someone even asked me how we found this 'hidden gem'! Josie was so attentive to us. She made sure everything went on with our timeline we discussed, perfectly. Lisa, you have the best employees working for you. We had question after questions, but it didn't seem to bother Josie!! She answered everything so professionally. I'm sure gonna miss bothering her! Josie, I'll see you in La Habra for my granddaughters Sweet 16, in a few years. Lol!! My husband mentioned that he was impressed how Jack, the Security, was very nice and was constantly walking around making sure everyone was 'behaving'.!

April 26, 2024 was our 2nd event at The Garden Room in Garden Grove. We have 14 children, (9 daughters and 5 sons, all natural born to us one at a time). Both of our daughters wedding receptions at this place have been the absolute best. Lisa was cheerful, personable, professional and answered our questions. Kim was the same, so cheerful and professional. Tony also was so personable and kind. What can I say about Jack and Josie..... I will forever be grateful for the service and atmosphere that they provided for us and our guests! Many of our 200 guests approached us during and after our reception to comment how: "the staff made us feel like kings and queens". It was also our experience from the owners, managers and staff down to the buss persons that they ALL made us know how important we are to them.
