What a perfect day! Gardens on Q is a well oiled machine. The owners have thought of everything! All of our needs were met from the very first contact, through the planning, to comfort and amenities for the bridal party on the special day! All of this set in the most magical oasis! I could live in the gardens alone! They provide beauty and fragrance and include winding paths with many places to sit and take in the beauty. There are so many photo opportunities. At night time the lights and candles make this venue pure romance. Thank you Polly and staff, you made our day perfect and truly memorable.

I attended an evening wedding reception at Gardens on Q in the fall of 2016. Oh my word!!! This place is FABULOUS! There are several gardens and unique areas with walking paths and beautiful sculptures for the guests to enjoy while waiting for the bride & groom. The magazine-worthy landscape is spectacular. The entire space was illuminated by hundreds of candles and gorgeous night-time lighting. The evening and venue was magical. 2 thumbs way up for this event location. I’ll definitely be booking my next destination event at Gardens on Q.

I recently attended an event at Gardens on Q. I LOVE this location and venue. Being from an urban area, it was so cool to attend an event at an actual working farm in the middle of rural America. I was amazed that this gorgeous, pristine place exists in the middle of corn fields, barns and pastures. This is the PERFECT place for a destination event. I had a blast and was beyond impressed by the quality, beauty and fun at Gardens on Q. Kudos to the owner and staff at Gardens on Q!

Testimonial:
“Gardens on Q is such a beautiful outside venue that is nestled into a cove of trees with flowers, pathways, and shaded areas perfect for pictures. The wedding party has access to various rooms in the house to get ready for the special day, with the bride having her very own “bridal suite” where she has the privacy to get ready with her closest friends and family. Love the vintage, victorian feel of the house! Polly does a great job checking in throughout the day to see if anyone needs anything, as well as has an eye for decoration when it comes to setting up for the big day. Experiencing Gardens on Q myself was such a fun experience! If you are looking for a venue that highlights all that nature has to offer, this is your place!” 🙂

-Hailey Parr, Nebraska
Thank you so much for opening your home up to my family! We SOOOO enjoyed the day! Everyone was so enamored by the peaceful, beautiful surroundings. We kept being asked “how did you find this place?” The hair dressers were so impressed with their area to prep the bridal party. You all took such wonderful care of all the details. Your hard work in your gardens really shows.
