the location

Falling Water Gardens is nestled in the lush green farmland just minutes from downtown Monroe. You’ll find things here that simply don’t exist elsewhere: a network of koi and goldfish ponds, a 200-ft garden stream, a labyrinth and our formal sunken garden.
 
Garden weddings are IN right now, and Falling Water Gardens is the perfect place to realize the garden wedding you’ve been dreaming of!

If you’re finding us in the off-season, you’re welcome to take a virtual tour of the venue here at Falling Water Gardens below! It’s a whirlwind tour of the many features, but the only way to grasp the magic and beauty of the venue is to come see us in person!

We offer tours year-round, and the venue is in flower from early May through September.

There are four potential ceremony locations at Falling Water Gardens.

Sunken Garden: The Bridgerton Vibe

Step into the beating heart of our garden paradise, the
enchanting Sunken Garden—the favorite choice for couples like you, who
dream of a day drenched in nature’s splendor and love’s light. Imagine
yourselves surrounded by a cornucopia of colorful blossoms, where the dance
floor awaits your first steps as a married couple and the lawns are manicured
to perfection, just like your beautiful journey together.

Our sunken wedding garden, a formal masterpiece, eagerly accommodates your
celebration, flourishing in vibrant colors through the entire wedding season.
Bask in the kaleidoscope of flowers transitioning from the tender hues of
spring to the rich tones of summer, crafting the perfect living tapestry for
your special day.

Up to 200 guests can revel under our majestic 30×50 tent, adorned with delicate
perimeter lighting and twin chandeliers, casting a warm, inviting glow. Coupled
with additional tents for your music maestros and an alfresco bar, the stage is
set for laughter, toasts, and endless dancing. And rest assured, every detail
is grounded in elegance, with the tent firmly placed upon sturdy concrete.

The spirit of celebration spills onto the garden fringe,
where playful lawn games—giant chess, checkers, cornhole, giant Jenga, bocce,
and croquet—invite guests of all ages to indulge in rustic fun beneath the sun
or stars.

The Upper Lawn: A Versatile and Romantic Space

The Upper Lawn also boasts a catering and vendor prep area, thoughtfully hidden behind tapestries during the summer season.

Step Into the Magic of Our Labyrinth

Nestled not far from the heart of our beloved venue lies a treasure waiting to be uncovered—a remarkable labyrinth encased by natural rock walls and guarded by a serene central fountain. This spot has been the setting for countless intimate weddings, where couples step into their new lives together surrounded by the whisper of nature and the charm that only such a unique setting can provide.

Imagine capturing that magical first look in our labyrinth, where every turn promises a new beginning, and every stone tells a story of romance and wonder. It’s a place where guests are whisked away into a world of enchantment, and where little ones can explore to their heart’s content, their laughter mingling with the gentle murmur of the fountain.

Our labyrinth, with its rustic allure and intimate embrace, offers not just a venue but an experience—an opportunity to create memories that linger like the sweet scent of flowers on a warm breeze.

You’re warmly invited to wander its paths, to find solace by the fountain, and perhaps to dream a little dream of your own under the open sky.

Welcome to the Enchanted Grotto

In the heart of our gardens, nestled amongst whispering
trees, lies the Grotto—a mystical ceremony site born straight from a fairy
tale. Picture this: you and your beloved, surrounded by nature’s embrace,
exchanging vows on a stage set against the canvas of the great outdoors.

With seating on rustic wooden benches for 200 guests, the
Grotto offers an intimate yet expansive setting for your loved ones to gather.
They’ll watch, misty-eyed, from their vantage points as your love story unfolds
