Hosting our holiday party at Raulston Wood and Gardens in December 2024 was an absolutely enchanting experience. From the moment our guests arrived, they were transported into a beautifully decorated winter wonderland. The venue was transformed with a captivating ambiance that perfectly captured the festive spirit. The team at Raulston Wood and Gardens proved to be an absolute pleasure to work with. Their staff were consistently wonderful, offering invaluable help and prompt responses to all our needs. They ensured that every aspect of our party ran smoothly, providing all the necessary facilities and amenities without a hitch.

We got married at Gardens in the Gorge last month, & it was a dream! The Green was gorgeous even in early Spring, and the views from Windsor Hall are amazing. Several people have told me it was one of the prettiest venues they’ve been to and I agree! The scenery made for beautiful photos. The staff was super helpful in preparing for our day and offered a ton of decor for us to use. I’m very happy we chose Gardens in the Gorge!
