The Regency Garden is the perfect place to have a beautiful, elegant wedding. My fiance and I had looked at dozens of places for our wedding, and all of the hotel ballrooms and halls just blended together into one forgettable mass. Then I walked into the Regency Garden, which has this incredible magical feeling about it as soon as you set foot inside. I turned to my mom right away and said, "This is where I want to get married." It helped that I had already chosen a garden theme, as the Regency has the most picturesque garden you can imagine for the ceremony and an amazing indoor reception site that looks like you are still outside in an elegant European or east coast garden. We booked right away, and I have never regretted it for one day. Every time I go back there (to make a payment or pick out my linens...the wedding is still three weeks away), I fall in love with it all over again.

Now comes the best part...on top of the gorgeous location and magical atmosphere, the people you will work with are the best in the business. Chris and Kristin, who own and run the Regency, are two of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. They truly care so much about making your wedding perfect for you, and they have picked out the best vendors to work with. I highly recommend their all-inclusive packages, which is what we booked. Your package will include photography, videography, DJ, flowers, invitations, food, bar, and the wedding cake. Not only does it take the stress and burden off the bride to find all the best vendors possible for a reasonable price, but it hooks you up with the best professionals in each area. I have been so impressed with all of the vendors that I have met through the Regency, and I would highly recommend each of them! They are all incredibly nice people who are experienced and excited about helping make your wedding day the day of your dreams.

I whole-heartedly recommend the Regency Garden and all of their vendors. If you are looking for an amazing location for your wedding and great people to help you make it perfect, this is the place for you! It is much more reasonably priced than some of the other "similar" locations in the Valley, and it so much better!

No matter what you do, do not use Office Max for your wedding invitations. My fiancé and I ordered our invitations there, thinking we had found a clever way to save some money, but it was a disaster. After originally placing and paying for the order, Office Max “lost” it and claimed that we had never actually placed an order with them. When we showed them the receipt, they actually accused us of having picked up the receipt off the sidewalk and trying to scam them out of money using someone else’s purchase. Once they finally found the order and agreed that we had paid for invitations, they forgot to actually place the order with their supplier! Two weeks went by where we thought the order had been placed and was on its way, but they had never placed it. When they finally got around to placing the order with their supplier, a full month after we originally placed our order, they guaranteed us a date by which the invitations would be ready. On that date, there were no invitations ready, and they promised us another date. When we went back on that date, the invitations were still not ready. This went on as our wedding date approached and we stressed about the fact that the guests needed to have received their invitations by now. It was a nightmare; on top of that, they were rude, unprofessional, and disorganized. Your invitations are much too important to risk that kind of disaster, and their staff is too unreliable and disrespectful to deserve your business. Afterwards, I found out that a friend of mine had a similar experience with them; if only she had warned me ahead of time, which is what I’m doing for you. Do not use Office Max for your wedding invitations, and discourage your friends from doing so too.
