We had our wedding a few weeks ago at The Side Yard, and it was perfect from start to finish. Seriously. No exaggerations. Michelle, our wedding coordinator, was incredible. She was organized, calm, and on top of every detail. She made the entire process feel easy and stress free. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly because of her and DJ Syd. The photographer, whose name I sadly forget, perfectly captured our memories. The food was amazing (get the chicken piccata). Our guests are still talking about it. Every dish was fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. The service was even better than we expected. The staff was attentive, kind, and truly cared about making our day special. Perhaps best of all, is the fact that we weren't nickel and dimed. Their pricing was up front and truly turnkey. The value for our money was amazing. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Las Vegas, this is the place. The Side Yard exceeded our expectations in every way. We could not have asked for a better experience. read more

From the first meeting to the event date, everything was amazing. I celebrated my 30th birthday and didn't have to worry about anything. Michelle was my coordinator and was very flexible when I wanted to come decorate, see the space and during every meeting. Having no taste testing was nerve wracking the food was amazing and had compliments from all 100 guests. Loved the service and venue so much, my brother and his wife booked their wedding reception there shortly after my birthday. read more

Exceeded expectations! The staff went above and beyond to be accommodating to me (the bride) and the guests. All my guests only had wonderful things to say about the staff, bartender and food. Laurie the photographer was so wonderful! Nikki supervised the floor and attended us and was so kind to me and my now husband. Diana the bartender was amazing and awesome!! There was a few technical difficulties with the DJ but everything else was flawless. I recommend this venue whole heartedly for anyone looking to have an amazing staff helping them through the wedding planning and big day! read more

Had my daughter's surprise wedding at this venue and I must say it is an amazing little place. They were super accommodating and helpful. The food is (and I cannot stress this enough) INCREDIBLE. Nothing was overcooked, everything was seasoned and flavorful, the cake was moist and delicious, even the bar service was great. My friend's wedding at a casino/hotel was overpriced and all meat served was tough and bland. Not at the Side Yard. I would recommend this venue for anyone who wants their occasion tastefully done and reasonably priced. Kudos to the staff and thanks for everything. I hope all who're looking for a place to have a memorable event reads this review. read more

Good food poisoning from the Beef Wellington on my wedding night. I couldn't even enjoy the first few days of my honeymoon after that

I had the best day of my life here! I just got married to the love of my life on 10/14/23. And I don't think the day could have been anymore perfect! The Dj, photographer, chef, and bartender really outdid themselves! And a huge shoutout to Michelle and Dianna!! These women made me feel like a million bucks on my special day. They took care of everything and everyone! There was no stress or worry. I will recommend The Side Yard to everyone! You will not be disappointed!! read more

GET MARRIED HERE!! This venue was a dream come true, honestly. Michelle was so helpful throughout the whole process, even on the wedding day her and her husband made sure that I had a drink in my hand, as well as my wife.

Best venue in Vegas! So incredibly underrated, I honestly can't believe how well this went. I have absolutely no trouble saying that you're not gonna find a venue more well priced and as good quality as this one in Las Vegas. Me and my husband had a 10,000 goal for our wedding, for everything, venue dress, suits, flowers, cake, we wanted all of it and still keep it under 10k. Almost every venue I looked at was going to be over 10k, more with an open bar, etc. Thanks to this venue, we had a wedding in Las Vegas, with over 100 guests, for less than 10k. An open bar was included. And beyond all of that it's a BEAUTIFUL venue. Super rustic and cozy, it's own building, huge fireplaces, a separate bar area, I really couldn't ask for better. WAAAAY better than other venues that cost much more. They have this little patio out front as well that is really nice. The groomsmen were out there all night smoking cigars. Michelle was the one who coordinated everything for us, she is the nicest person, always responsive and she set up all the decorations beautifully. We also went with the Side Yards Dj, Marc, and he was also excellent. He did all the lighting in the pictures and kept us moving along right on schedule. read more

Great place for a gathering of 50-100 people. Ambiance inside is a must see, with various areas from guests to make themselves comfortable. - even a small well-lit patio that makes for amazing photos! The food, drinks and service are all better than you'd expect; however, it does makes sense once you learn it is managed by Sunset Gardens. Book the place and enjoy a great time at a great vàlue! - what??? An open bar throughout the event?! You will thank m NP read more

Thank you Dianna & Michelle!!! Absolutely amazing! From the start the staff has been wonderful and the venue is beautiful. Had my sisters wedding here and everyone was so helpful and accommodating, we brought in a bunch of our own decorations, and they let us go at it. We also brought in hair and make up artist, and they let us have everything at the venue. It was a stress free day and that is saying a lot. Everything was thought through, Dianna was outstanding and stayed with us through the day making sure everything was perfect and set up for success. Michelle was there through the wedding in the evening and make sure it all ran smoothly and did not miss a beat. Could not have asked for a better experience. It was a wonderful and memorable day. read more

Absolutely thee best venue for a small event! We had our celebration of life there, incredible service, food, atmosphere, location. Very very impressed!!!!!!!! Servers Marla, Aaron, and Paulina were over the top, as well as Sugar, the coordinator Michelle and Dj Syd. Inside feels like Tuscany. They had a separate hall for the small church service, a huge bar area, and large open airy main hall for dining. Buffet was off of that, out of site. The chef is off the wall great. You've got to book this place. So beautiful and you get the whole building to yourself. No other events going on but yours! read more

I recently got married at The Side Yard and it was a great experience. Michelle and Diane made our day very special. Everything ran smooth & took great care of guest needs throughout the night. Everyone loved the food & the Vegans especially loved there dinner prep for them....thank you Side Team!! PS-Thank you for allowing the Donut Wall, everyone loved it. read more

This Side Yard is a sister property to Sunset Gardens, but it is its own stand-alone, spectacular venue. We decided to throw an engagement party turned wedding, and Michelle was absolutely amazing! She went over the night and helped me plan it out, gave recommendations for all the little details I didn't even think about, she made sure I felt comfortable through the whole night, and let me know when she set plates down for my groom and I to eat. We selected the tri-tip and chef's chicken for the main course, Alfredo noodles, Caesar salad, and chicken tenders and baby beef wellington for horsderves. Everything was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Many of my guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding, and Michelle wrapped up almost three pounds of tri-tip for us to take home. Without Michelle, Kathy the cake lady, and the whole team, I would've been a mess lol. Thank you so much for everything!! read more

Wow, what can we say about SideYard? If you are thinking of booking this venue for your Vegas wedding, do it now. We planned our wedding from Toronto and we were so anxious- we did not need to be! First of all, the venue itself is so much more beautiful in person. It feels extremely welcoming and intimate while still being super roomy- we could have packed a lot more than our 40 person group, but it did not feel too large either. The food was INCREDIBLE. This was a big concern for us, as wedding food is often quite dry and bland. This was not the case at the Side Yard. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was! It was beautifully seasoned, fresh, and basically not at all what you would expect from a buffet. I would highly recommend adding the short ribs, they were unbelievable and I'll be thinking of them for a long time. From the moment we did our walk through with Michelle, I felt relaxed and relieved knowing I was in such good hands. She was so present, warm, lovely, and on top of everything! I knew immediately that we were in good hands. Her whole team the night of were so lovely and ran a truly seamless event, with such good humour! She remembered everyone's order immediately while at the bar, and our guests (almost all with serving/bartending backgrounds) remarked on how incredible and lovely she was. The cake was fabulous, our DJ was incredible (EVERYONE danced all night) and the decor was gorgeous. It was a perfect night and a perfect party! We could not be more thankful to the Michelle and the Side Yard family; you all made our dream wedding a reality. I'm still in disbelief that it went so perfectly! Thank you a million times. read more

We are from Canada and were having a tough time finding something that worked for our wedding... after settling on a Vegas destination wedding we had looked at Side Yard and immediately fell in love with the building. We brought ~40 people to our wedding and the venue is PERFECT. The staff is AMAZING. Amazing communication leading up to the night and everything came together perfectly. Michelle helped us throw the best wedding ever, testified by MANY of our family and friends. Michelle literally knew everybody's drink after a SINGLE ORDER. The food was INCREDIBLE! It was very important to give everyone a good meal after travelling so far and the Side Yard brought together one of the best meals at a wedding I have ever had. The DJ kept the ENTIRE party dancing all night. We had our dream wedding here. Multiple people said "it felt like a movie". It was absolutely sublime. I cannot recommend this place enough. Are you having a wedding soon? Come to Vegas and get married here! You will remember and cherish it for the rest of your life. I know we will. Thank you so much Michelle and Sunset Gardens staff for our amazing reception at Side Yard. It was the best night of our life and that's what a wedding should be: the best night of your life! read more

Michelle and her entire staff could not have been more hard working and excellent to us all to help make our 50th class reunion a fabulous success! (Tony, they all deserve a raise!) The building has everything, and is already beautiful, and then they helped us with personalization and decorations to make the decor even more special! The photos on the website don't tell the whole story of how magical this place is! Delicious food! Awesome full bar! A talented DJ with great music! And a fun photographer and photo booth! Loved it all! We all feel blessed to have had our event there, and would absolutely recommend it for anyone who wants a quality place at fair price! read more

Venue was beautiful but the newlywed couple treated the guests to an open bar and bartenders didn't seem very welcoming. We felt limited on drinks and bartenders seemed to be bothered by us coming up to order drinks. On top of that, no shots for an open bar??? Not what we expected as guests and the bride and groom were not stoked about it either. read more

The folks at The Side Yard, new location presented by Sunset Gardens, is the location we chose to have our wedding reception. This property is absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, they worked tirelessly to ensure we had the most amazing wedding experience. Michelle and Dianna's attention to detail coupled with Chef's exquisite meal was out of this world. The tri-tip was more delicious than the owner, Tony, promised. All 75 of my guests raved all night about the property, food, and our DJ, Jay. The whole night was better than any fantasy I had of how my wedding would turn out. I can not thank the team of the Side Yard enough for making our Wedding memorable and special. read more

Wow! We had a Celebration of Life for our daughter. If I had five thumbs on one hand I'd give them that. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing helping with anything and everything. Oh and Mr Sid the D. J. / emcee was superb, very professional. I highly recommend The Side Yard. read more

10 out of 10!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! Michelle, Tony and entire staff are outstanding! They let us bring in a LIVE BAND!! Syd was our DJ, his energy was perfect and very attentive throughout the wedding! Spencer was our photographer. He was very easy going, talented and knowledgable of the venue! Entire staff was extremely reliable, friendly, compassionate, and made the whole experience so wonderful! They kept the entire venue very well kept and clean all evening. TOP NOTCH! BIG Thank you to the back of house staff, food was SO delicious and service was again OUTSTANDING throughout the entire experience. The core values of this establishment is out of this world. They truly care about each couple, their family and friends. Always listened to our questions and concerns. Never left us out of the loop for anything. . I requested to have a few "kids tables" and Michelle made it happen!! We know kids can be messy, they did go a little crazy (I apologize for the mess!) Staff never complained and were beyond lovely!! We requested my husband's beer, even went as far as making sure we both fed and had a beverage all evening!! They made it SO easy and stress free. We even booked our Photo Booth through them and couldn't have been happier with our decision! The Photo Booth assistant went the extra mile along with the entire staff, to place the photo stripes himself in our guest book! Side Yard/Sunset Gardens has everything you need and more!!!!! GET MARRIED HERE!!! XOXO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SY for providing phenomenal service and memories we will cherish forever! read more

My niece's wedding reception was held at this venue recently, and they did the most amazing job. Michelle, the coordinator made sure everything was done to perfection.

We will absolutely use this venue again for any future events. read more

The Side Yard is perfect for weddings and parties! My daughter had her 50th birthday 2 years ago there and just a few months ago my other daughter had her wedding reception there!

We eloped in June 2020 and finally felt good about getting our friends and families together for a wedding reception this month. The Side Yard is fantastic and Michelle is the absolute best! We brought our decorations which Michelle placed to perfection and made our dream party a reality! My jaw literally dropped when we walked in..so beautiful! Food was delicious and the entire staff could not have been more attentive and sweet! Highly, highly recommend the Side Yard. If there were 10 stars Michelle would get them all! read more

I was at the Side Yard for a company event earlier this year. Michelle and her staff did a wonderful job and made us feel right at home. Really impressed with the food and the bar set-up (Michelle told us that the whole property was renovated last year - it looks really nice inside). We all loved it and would be really happy to have more events here in the future. read more

Fantastic venue. Great staff, Michelle our contact was over the top, and perfect vibe for an event. I cannot stress enough how positive our experience was here. read more

All I can say is....AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My daughter got married at the Side Yard in September; and it was beyond our expectations. First of all, leading up to the big day, working with Joe and his family/staff was as smooth as silk. These people are truly wedding professionals. Everything they promised us, they delivered on. They took care of everything, efficiently and elegantly. On the day of the wedding, we could relax and enjoy! The food was delicious!! The staff and our coordinator, Michelle, were top notch. The venue was perfect from the decor to the open bar. Photograph and dj were excellent. All of our guests had a fantastic time; and I've received several calls confirming how much they they liked the venue, the service and the meal. You will NOT find a better value for the price (believe me I looked around extensively because we had a modest budget). You will not be disappointed. I will gladly recommend The Side Yard to friends and family; and will probably have a Vegas birthday party there for myself sometime in the future. read more

What a wonderful experience! Used The Side Yard as the venue for a 90th birthday celebration for my parents. Michelle and team were phenomenal. The price was reasonable and the food was great. Tony, the owner, even stopped by our party to say hello. This team truly cares about making sure the event is perfect and they go above and beyond. There were no added fees and they didn't try to up sell anything. We had about 35 people and the bar setting was beautiful. This venue is perfect for any type of party (not at all too much like a wedding venue only). I highly recommend The Side Yard for any event for 30 or more. Check out their reasonable package deals. The attention we received from Michelle made us feel like ours was the only party that mattered! She was wonderful. read more

We used the side yard venue for our reception. The owner and Michelle were great to work with they go above and beyond to make sure you are happy! The venue is beautiful, the drinks are great, the food was great, the Dj was awesome he sat on the phone with us for an hour going over everything and getting to know us. The photographer got great pictures a good mix of candid and posed. The ONLY complaint I had was the cake. When we did cake tasting we got micro pieces of the cake flavors then a half teaspoon scoop of each frosting she literally had everything on a saucer plate that's how small, so picking the flavors was harder than I expected, but ultimately we picked chocolate cake with Carmel frosting for one tier and lemon cake with raspberry frosting on the other. Come to reception day the cake was awful!!! The outer butter cream was so sickening sweet it hurt, and we have a sweet tooth, the flavors were so bland no one could tell what they were. I rate this venue 5 stars because it is 5 star worthy and I won't ding them just bc of a cake that they had no control over, but I wanted to warn you about the cake ! Hopefully I'm the only one that got the dud and she was just having an off time , but just in case now you know. read more
