Panola Valley Gardens - Lindstrom

We held a collaboration meeting at this restaurant, and everything was incredible. Despite some imperfections in the day, the fantastic food, excellent accommodations, and lovely atmosphere made it all worthwhile. We will definitely be returning!

I visited for the first time today for tea and lunch. The setting is lovely, even after the tornado damage from last week! I really enjoyed the blueberry-infused tea and the breaded chicken salad!

It's been four years since our wedding, and people still rave about how beautiful our ceremony was. Maria Ann was wonderful; she allowed us to stroll through the gardens for our maternity photoshoot at no charge. It felt like a journey through memories, and now we plan to take photos there every five years.

The view is stunning and can be enjoyed with any rotation of the head. Each table is with charming China Square Settings and a bouquet of beautiful, fresh flowers so that guests feel that it is a special place. The food served is light and tasty, and I always feel happy!

Mary Anne (owner of the gardens , Patty (the gardens personal chef and the crew were amazing. Mary Ann made our ideas a reality for our wedding. The flower arrangements for the centerpieces were beyond beautiful, the garden was stunning, the table displays were perfect. The only thing we needed was more time. I knew I should have took Mary Ann 's advice to book more time. Time goes by too fast. It wasn 't enough time. It was just so beautiful and I wish I had more time to visit with family. Having more time would have meant longer dessert hour Make sure to give yourselves enough time here! We did 4 hours and had less than 50 people and we needed more time. Also, I was warned by dozens of people that if things go wrong on the day of the wedding, no one would know but my husband and I. That 's true. We had anxiety and remembered a few hiccups. That is 100% normal. And in the end, our wedding was all we had hoped for. Simple yet immaculate, intimate and memorable. And that 's what Panola Valley Gardens provided for us. We were allowed to hire our own photographer and our own dj. We know both people who provided those services so that saved us money! We also had our own cakes brought in. The feedback that we received from our guests was that it was the most beautiful wedding they 'd ever been to. A HUGE shout out goes to Patty (the master chef! . My husband and I built our own unique menu. The apps, salads, main courses and the desserts. We had a very complicated menu. It 's something that would typically require multiple chefs. However, Patty made the best versions of our menu items that we and our guests have ever had. She is a Rockstar. Another quality was the communication with Patty. Constant updates and changes and she nailed it. I highly recommend this venue. Price, atmosphere/environment, photo opportunities, food, crew and all the other details. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you all for making our dream a reality!
