Weston Gardens In Bloom, Inc — Local services in Fort Worth

This review has been a long time coming. I attended a wedding here that happened in the rain, and the venue was completely unprepared. I had to allow some time for me not to be so angry before I wrote this. But people need to know about the risk they are taking by booking with this venue. If it doesn't rain, probably it will all be ok. BUT IF IT DOES RAIN, you will very likely have a terrible experience at best and possibly an unsafe one.

We knew the rain was coming ten days before the wedding. When concerned members of the wedding party inquired about the significant rain storm coming and the amount of tenting facilities that we could see going up (that was clearly not enough for the 250 coming), the staff at WG said, repeatedly, "you don't worry about the rain, we do." But they weren't ready for the weather . . . NOT at all.

The result: the area was not safe - it was very slippery and an inch of mud in some locations where guests arrived and had to go for food and to reach the porta-potty. The ceremony had to take place in the rain, even though we were told there was a plan for having it under the tents. Much of the food went to waste because people couldn't get to the food or see it very well for those braving the obstacle course to get there. And WG had the wedding party start to shut down early (and frantically), and before the couple had their big send-off.

Those are just the highlights. But you get the idea. Weather happens, no one was upset about that. The problem was that the venue wasn't prepared. Really really...

Weston Gardens was always a favorite place for me, my family, and sisters to visit and shop. After my husband died, I called them to have a landscape specialist come to my home to discuss my whole yard. My emphasis was on streamlining and simplifying the large lawn so I could continue to maintain it without my husbands help. After a week or so, the representative called me into the office to discuss the plans she had drawn up for my yard. Not only was I treated disrespectfully, her rendering was shocking! She had drawn out the most intricate, complicated plan that I would never be able to manage. She even drew in a sitting area that I specifically told her I did not want. She put in hundreds of plants that I would neither be able to afford nor maintain. I was charged $600 before I even got to see the plans. When I complained, she just said, “Well, you can just apply the $600 to your final plan!”! I was so upset (my husband had only died 3 months before), that I never did any of it. I feel cheated, misunderstood,...

This is a hidden gem in southeast fort worth and you have to check it out! We are having our wedding here later this year and i'll update then but I'm not expecting to change my rating. So far the ladies have been supper nice and helpful with the planning process. The gardens are nice and it gives a sense of wonderment and curiosity. If you get the chance to walk across the bridge to the ship then do it! Gardens has lots of cats that are friendly. Be sure to give your email so that you can get notified of the events that are held there regularly.

So our wedding was amazing. The value of this venue was amazing. The DJ, bartender and a police officer were included. The ladies really helped us step by step and were there for the event. It really helps when you have someone coordinating the event who has been apart of the planning process. They were easy to work with and went above and beyond my...
