We had a June wedding at the gardens. It was so beautiful! The staff was professional and my planner, Tyler, was wonderful, helpful, and very organized. We planned our wedding from West Virginia and it went off without hitch! She made sure no one walking in the gardens disturbed our ceremony. Even though it was a public area, it seemed like we were in our own private garden. The food and cake were delicious as well. I couldn't have imagined a better place for our wedding. I would highly recommend Hershey Gardens for an outdoor wedding.

The Hershey Gardens are an unbelievably beautiful location for a wedding. I planned my wedding in the Gardens from 700 miles away, and I could not have done it without the help of Bridgit Wiest. She is an extremely organized and intelligent Wedding Coordinator. She was quick to respond, very helpful with the minor details and such a warm and pleasant person. She made my day much easier!

I cannot say enough good things about the Hershey Gardens: not only is it a perfectly beautiful place, filled with colorful blooms, vast green scapes & playful water fountains, but it is also well suited for guests with shaded areas, smooth walkways & restrooms. There is plenty to see & do; literally fun for all ages! Not to mention the helpful, friendly, curtious, responsive, gracious staff members. I was amazed at how they all lended a hand to make our wedding day run smoothly.
