From the reviews
The Gardens at Waterperry Farm is a magnificent place. The day that we toured, we knew that this was our venue! It was hands-down the best place that we could’ve possibly chosen to hold our elopement ceremony and photo session at.
We were lucky enough to have our small wedding ceremony (truly, 8 guests) in the gardens at Waterperry Farm and cannot imagine a more beautiful place to be married. Janet was very responsive and accommodating in answering our questions and scheduling a tour of the grounds.
Waterperry is such a beautiful place! The gardens are immaculate and just stunning in any season! I love to photograph fine art engagement sessions and intimate weddings at this exquisite place!
Getting married at The Gardens at Waterperry Farm
The Gardens at Waterperry Farm comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
