Ardenwood Historic Preserve

I grew up down the street from Ardenwood and went many times with family and for field trips when I was young. I recently attended an evening wedding there that was beautiful and elegant with the ceremony at the gazeebo and the reception nearby. The only drawback was the weather. When the sun went down, the breeze picked up and it was pretty cold. But, it was more the fault of the bride and groom having their outdoor wedding at the beginning of May. Overall, the ambiance was really romantic with twinkling lights and the beautiful garden setting.

If we didn't require a Chinese restaurant for our wedding, we would have gone to Ardenwood.

As someone who's originally from Fremont, I was actually a bit weary about this place when I heard my friend was having her wedding here. Growing up you just hear that it's a farm. Wedding on a farm?? Uhhh.... but to my surprise, it was really nice! There's a cute patio/veranda area that the couple got married at, and it doesn't feel farm-like at all (but more like a garden wedding). It's good for smaller weddings since it's outdoors.

Fremont is a great city. I've never been to a wedding here, but the area is very nice and the farm is beautiful. I went to corn mazes here on Halloween and they were very entertaining. I've also been to a recreation of some battle stuff and that was pretty cool, too.

Oh I've been here as a kid before. We came one time for the monarch butterfly season and I absolutely loved it. From that time on, I knew I wanted a very garden-like wedding.

ive only been here once for a school field trip, but it would be a cute location on a good weather-day. although it is a farm...
