Testimonials

“We had the most magical wedding at McGill in October 2023 and have been told by friends and family who attended that it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever been to! People still bring up the garden and how it was the perfect place for a wedding. Every phase of the night went off perfectly, and we didn’t worry about a thing on our wedding day. The team ensured everything was perfect and made all our guests feel welcome and comfortable. It was a wonderful, intimate wedding where all our favorite people got to spend time together eating, dancing, and celebrating. The garden is so magical at any time of year, but we got lucky with an overcast day that turned into a beautiful night. We are so grateful to the team at McGill for all their hard work and all they did to make our day so amazing.”

- Phoebe Cullerot Collins (October 10, 2023)

“We chose McGill because it is a part of our love story. One of our first dates as a couple was to Rosie's, where we both had coffees and went for a walk in the garden. There's a uniquely organic and romantic air to McGill Rose Garden; it's effortlessly beautiful, a blend of the innovation in the city and the importance of historic preservation and conservation. McGill is a complete representation of the inclusive, artistic, communal spirit of NoDa. There was never a question as to whether or not we wanted to have our special day be somewhere that meant something to us as a couple. We never toured anywhere else and wouldn't change a single thing about our choice in venue.”

“Since the wedding, we've had countless guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Without prompting or even asking about their experience, we still receive so many positive comments about the garden and atmosphere, the ceremony, the food, and the music.”

-Jamey Harlow (October 19, 2024)

“Having our wedding at McGill was one of the easiest decisions ever. It's just so magical, and it made me feel like I was whisked away into a fantasy. I especially love how the garden helps you intentionally keep your wedding small. Having under 100 people lets us really focus on keeping the event intimate and feel like a party!”

“A tip for anyone planning their wedding day: Lean on your event coordinators! They are the MOST AMAZING PEOPLE ever and helped us tremendously in executing the day. From each planning meeting to the rehearsal to the big day, we can seriously never thank the McGill team enough.”

-Marisa McMillian (November 2, 2024)

“Ultimately, we chose Rosie's because it's a beautiful, intimate venue right in the neighborhood we love. We wanted to keep the day fun, loving, and relaxed, and we knew the garden would be the perfect setting. We fell even more in love with it after hearing about the shop cat Rosie.”

“It was such a pleasure working with the coordinator and all the vendors. Everything went so smoothly, and everyone had a wonderful time. We received so many nice comments about every detail, from the drinks, flowers, music, to all the food served by the caterer.”

-Brian Schnieder (May 17, 2025)

“We had the wedding of our dreams at McGill. Everything was perfect and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful the venue was. The planners/staff go above and beyond. Shout out to Isabella for meeting with us in the months leading up to the wedding to finalize all the details. Top notch and couldn’t recommend it more.”
