Coles Garden

I absolutely love and adore David, he is the best! I recently moved to Edmond, OK from Scottsdale, AZ and was completely lost as to how to plan my wedding in a completely new and foreign town. Not only any wedding, but a Persian wedding. David was without question my life saver. He walked me through every step of the way, and made the entire planning process so easy. I didn’t just gain a wedding planner when I decided to book my wedding at Coles Garden I gained a friend. He went out of his way each and every time to make sure I had the wedding of my dreams. One thing that was so great about him was he made a real effort to learn to properly pronounce not only my name but the name of every member of my family (and Persian names are pretty tough!). He wanted to make sure he had every single one of our names correct and would practice them with notes on his notepad, this meant a lot to my family and I. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, is extremely kind and thoughtful, always has you in mind, and makes the whole wedding process such a breeze. Both my family and my husband’s family raved about how sweet and phenomenal he was. My husband Matt and I are extremely impressed with how wonderful it was to work with David, if you are lucky enough to have him help with your wedding you are in amazing hands.

My daughter was married here September 2015. The venue is beautiful and having the option of an inside or outside ceremony is priceless.
The planning meetings with Christin went well and she was very thorough during the planning process. We did have trouble setting up meetings and communicating with Dustin the catering manager, we found him to be rude and dismissive and not at all detail oriented, the notes he took during our meeting were never correct and we ended up with food we specifically said we did not want. Overall, the catering and food was sub par, Dustin is not experienced with handling a sit down meal, or having the proper amount of servers, I had finished eating by the time the last table received their food which is unacceptable! If you are having a buffet the service will probably be adequate. I will add that the bartender we had was exceptional and attentive, we had requested and paid for 2 bartenders but only had one on the wedding day, he worked very hard to take care of our guests.
The DJ was really a disappointment! The sound quality at the service in the rose garden was terrible. There was NOT a mic provided for the minister as we had requested and the music for the singer was barely audible, the vocalist had a hard time signing as he could not hear the music. During the reception he did not play songs specifically requested in the planning meeting and made poor choices in his selection. At several points we had to ask him to stop playing songs because they were on the do not play list! He had no personality and had to be told how to adjust the volume when the speeches were given, he seemed VERY inexperienced but in this respect, you get what you pay for, as he was inexpensive. I would definitely not use the Coles Garden DJ again if I had to do over! Pay the extra money for a real DJ it will be worth it!
Over all, on the wedding day, several balls were dropped by the entire staff at Coles and we did not feel like a priority. The wedding coordinator actually left for a couple hours during the day and seemed «put out» when asked to help with any set up. Her attitude and demeanor were not professional and she seemed to want to do only the minimum to help with anything «day of». There is not ANY excuse for that kind of unprofessional behavior. I would say that Stephen the day of catering supervisor, the wait staff, and the bartender were all very kind and attentive to the guest and we did appreciate all of their hard work and tipped them well.
We had a beautiful wedding day despite the problem with Coles Garden staff and a fun time was had by all. I hope this review will help others not have similar problems with the venue.

Just did my wedding here. Would definitely recommend booking your wedding and having David of Coles garden as your coordinator. A+

Well, this place is all sorts of magical Alice In Wonderland meets The Chronicles of Narnia awesome.
I’ve been to two wonderful weddings here and hope to go to many more at this venue! Lovely & well-​kept lawns and gardens, romantic lighting, indoor/​outdoor options, a gazebo and great seating arrangement options!
There are 2 quirks that I would advise all peoples hosting an event here to ask about handling before:
1) The sound system outside in the space used for ceremonies has been spotty going in and out.
2) People working and hanging out around the gardens — make sure someone is there to remind them to be quiet!
Lovely outdoor/​indoor venue for events! Plenty of photo ops. Truly a special and unique place for any event!

I visited this place for a wedding and the grounds are beautiful. There is a large koi pond with a waterfall. The grounds are well kept and great for pictures.
The patio was great too with all the lights and outside bar to sit and relax.
The staff was friendly I just didn’t like that I saw staff make themselves plates of food and eat it out in front of everyone. I found that to be very tacky as you are not a guest you are working and why do it in front of everyone? Something else that I found to be tacky was that the bartenders didn’t want to have someone wash glassware and decided to use small plastic cups to make drinks because as it was stated, «I do not want to wash glasses, lets just use plastic so we don’t have to stay late and go home».
Overall the place was beautiful and the wedding was wonderful but some of the staff not so much

Nice place for wedding photo shoots and conference. The koi pond is amazing.
