Reviews & Testimonials
I got married here last night, and we couldn't have asked
for a better venue. Our guests were all impressed with the greenery, layout,
service, and perfect weather in September helped a lot. Disneyland loses a
battle for me: as I now have a new association for the "happiest place on
earth."

I love this place. I had my wedding here in October of 2007
and it was beautiful. I had a mid afternoon ceremony and an evening reception.
I had a pretty large wedding so I had it in the Paliuli Gardens. They also have
a smaller area called the Lotus Tea Garden.They have a cute cottage for the bride and great grounds to
take pictures on. The long walk down the aisle with the lights overhead is
awesome. They even have a small private area for the bride and groom after the
ceremony.The staff is helpful and
friendly and will help you make wedding day what you want it to be.I would definitely recommend this place
to anyone who wants to have a beautiful and private wedding. Another great
thing about it is they don't book more than one wedding at your time. So you
will have the whole facility to yourselves!!
