Covington Gardens is a beautiful space that has been hosting weddings since 1995. The original owners started the tradition when they bought the property and built a Victorian-inspired home. The property was purchased by the Wilhelm Family in 2021 and renovated to make it ready for all kinds of modern celebrations. It will be the dream setting for your wedding day!
With Covington Gardens, you will be able to host every second of your celebration directly on the grounds. Your rental will begin at 9:00. When you arrive, you will be taken to the bridal suite on the second floor of the house. Along with your bridal party, you will have plenty of space to get ready for your day. The clawfoot tub in the attached bathroom is a popular spot for bridal pics!
Most weddings take place outside on the lawn. This area has a paved aisle that leads to a white pergola where you can stand and exchange your vows. There is a fountain just behind you that will add to the ambiance!
Once your Covington Gardens ceremony is over, your guests can head inside the house where they can enjoy a cocktail hour in the foyer. This space is lovely and rustic with wooden paneled walls and a stone fireplace. Your guests can mingle or go outside and explore the property.
For your reception, you can head out to the event tent on the terrace for hours of celebration! The tent has a cathedral ceiling with windows that put you right out in the heart of nature. You will be able to host up to 250 guests throughout your party.
The Covington Gardens grounds have a number of photo opportunities you can use for your pics. The fountain in front of the house tends to be a popular spot for couples! You can also head to the stone fountain near the ceremony site to add some nature to your portraits. Additionally, I adore using the foyer inside the house for some group pictures!
Covington Gardens is a pet-friendly venue that gives you tons of freedom for your event. They let you bring in your own catering and will take care of the bar services themselves. There are 100 parking spaces on-site, and the grounds are wheelchair accessible. Throughout the entire planning process, they will be on hand to answer all your questions and make sure you can have your dream celebration!
