This wedding venue was a delight and felt magical once it became dark. Kingan gardens is beautifully decorated with lights, plants, and trees, and the place provided the perfect place for my friends' wedding ceremony and reception. Facilities were more than adequate for a hosted bar, catered dinner, dancing, the cake, and about 150 guests. The venue was loud with chirping birds and street noise during the ceremony. Even though microphones were used for the ceremony, it was difficult to hear the wedding officiant and bride and groom at times. Once the recption began, however, the noise wasn't as noticeable. Kingan Gardens has no handicap parking.

It was an outstanding experience, the perfect place to get married! Kingan Gardens is a secret garden downtown. The venue was lovely, and Shiela made everything so easy. This venue is perfect is you looking for a unique boutique experience without the cost of boutique. Very fair. Strongly recommend for a wedding or any event!

One of our sons got married here 2 weeks ago. They had planned the entire wedding, and I hadn't seen the venue until the day of. It stole my breath. Absolutely gorgeous! It was hot that day and they had misters and fans. The staff was fantastic. Efficient, discreet, kind, and warm. The space was easy to navigate with lots of people. There were spaces designated to get our elderly out of the heat with comfortable seating where they could rest. The dance space was perfect, plenty of room without being too massive we'd lose intimacy in the event. The grassy area under the trees was a lovely retreat for the families with littles. We really couldn't have asked for anything else from a wedding venue. Absolutely perfect! Thank you all for making our kids day magical!

I had my wedding here at the beginning of May 2023 and it was the best decision! We fell in love with the beautiful garden and the easy location, and couldn't believe everything that was included in the package as well as their great network of vendors. Sheila and the Kingan Gardens team made planning so relaxed and easy and were always there to answer my many questions throughout the process. I can't say enough how magical and, again, easy and RELAXED the day was! All we had to do was show up and the coordinators handled everything so well. It looked like a dream...not to mention, we saved so much on flowers/decor because the entire grounds was in bloom! Even the alleyway looked great in photos. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the best day, Kingan Gardens!

What a magical night! Kingan Gardens is a perfect venue for a wedding. There was a special carriage house for the bride and her wedding party to get dressed. All decorated with vintage relics. The groom and groomsmen also had a separate dressing room. All together the guest count was 156 and it felt spacious. There were lots of places for the guests to mingle. The bar with 2 bartenders, the cake and dessert area, the beautifully lit dining area, the dance floor plus we had a food cart to provide after dinner snacks of sonoran dogs and tacos!! So much to list. The whole wedding affair was so well planned. Shout out to Sheila and Lauren and the decorators and cake crew!! ! It's been almost a month since the wedding and I'm still getting comments from guests about such a wonderful time they had.

I had the pleasure of using Kingan Gardens as my wedding venue. Sheila was an absolute pleasure to work with. The vendors she works with were amazing as well. Both our dinner selections were a big hit, and lets not forget the cake! The baker she works with did an outstanding job! The day was absolutely perfect. Sheila's wedding planners helped the day flow so smoothly. Che Wilson, our photographer, did an amazing job with the photos. He and his staff truly captured the magic of the day. All our friends and family kept saying how magical the venue was. It was truly a night to remember! There was one expensive issue that Sheila was quick to remedy and reimbursed us for and was very professional about the situation. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride who is looking for high quality, good price and a one stop shop for all vendors included with the package price. I wish there was a 10 star rating because that's what they deserve.

Kingman Gardens is absolutely beautiful and tranquil upon entering. Simple weddings are held here.Met Jamie-Cakes and she is a delight. Very welcoming and gracious.It was a quick trip, no wedding. But if your looking for a place for a small gathering, that's the place to go!

Such a beautiful venue and had an absolutely amazing time! Plenty of space for the various shenanigans during the reception. We certainly used every square inch of their well thought-out layout! Haha I totally unknowingly (but PLEASANTLY) sky rocketed my step count, yeehaw! Congrats Kara & Carl! Such a memorable and magical celebration! ???

There really are no words to explain just how amazing this venue is. I had planned on visiting several venues but after meeting Sheila and seeing the venue I was sold on it and booked right away. The planning was so seamless and easy. All the vendors were amazing and rocked it on our wedding day! I was amazing at how it all came together! We had 2 amazing day of coordinators that made my day so easy! I was so calm and able to just enjoy my day! And Sheila is so amazing and provides a spectacular venue that made all my wedding day wishes a reality! I would recommend this venue ?! Thank you so much for everything!

I really hate that I can't leave a 5 star because I was so in love with this place. It is a beautiful venue and setting was gorgeous. The reason for the lower star the package includes a DJ and Photographer. If you choose this venue I would ask to not use the photographer or DJ that comes with package. Our photographer did not make sure that we got pictures with our kids or specific pictures that we asked to be taken. If you do use the photographer you should hire a second to make sure that pictures that are important are taken. We made a mistake and put a lot of trust that the photographer knew what pictures to take and would ask. He was very nice but he was just as overwhelmed as we were and that made for not the best pictures. We are asking all our friends now to please send us any pics they have. Our mistake was telling friends we wanted them to enjoy the day and not worry about taking pictures and we would share what was taken. We are now left with very few pics. The DJ rushed us through important parts of the evening and we missed out on speaking with people we wanted. His agenda seemed more important than ours. Beside the photographer and the DJ everything about the venue was wonderful. The food was great and they It 7us for needing a celiac friendly dinner and cake.

Got married here on the 10th. Such a great venue. My only big regret is having the ceremony at 3 in the afternoon. It was cold and everyone had to leave early. If you plan a winter wedding make sure you do your ceremony early in the day. The entire venue is outdoors and even with heaters it got very cold.

I was the Wedding Photographer for quite a few weddings here. It's super central location is great and the grounds are really pretty. The staff (Sheila) has always been accommodating. A quaint spot capable of handling a small 2-person elopements to more elaborate huge celebrations! A space for receptions as well as ceremonies.

Our family celebrated our son's graduation at Kingan Gardens and it was perfect. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff was so helpful that it allowed us to enjoy the event. It is a hidden treasure in downtown Tucson.
