Located in Canandaigua, NY, Sonnenberg Gardens is one of the few remaining estates in America with a Queen Anne Victorian-style mansion and formal gardens. This 50-acre estate hosts nine distinct gardens developed in the early 1900s as a living memorial to the original owner's husband and remains one of the most meticulously preserved Historic Parks in the country. Whether you like the classic Italian garden, the Japanese garden or the Rose garden, the gorgeous ceremony spaces are endless. A stunning reception tent is nestled in the grounds as well, so your guests can truly soak in the immersive garden experience.

As an avid gardener myself, I have great appreciation for the amount of work that goes into both growing and maintaining such spectacular gardens. We are so blessed here in the Finger Lakes to be surrounded by such natural beauty and dedicated people who tend to Mother Nature's magnificence, ultimately creating spaces that feel like pure magic. It is an honor to share my love of flowers with you on your special day, and I can't wait to enhance your garden wedding with our enchanting designs.
