Nine acres of gardens and greens create a perfect outdoor space for weddings, from ceremony to reception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a full schedule this year for weddings,\u201d says Ken Hayter, co-owner of Linden Gardens with his wife, Margaret.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can provide the whole package, everything but the catering,\u201d he adds. A full-service wedding planner, Dream Big Weddings and Events, looks after bookings and coordination.<\/p>\n<p>And by the whole package, he means everything from on-site accessories and classic furniture for your photos, right down to the cutlery and dishes for your reception. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindengardens.ca\/brochure-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download a brochure<\/a> for the details. <\/p>\n<p>There are several areas within the Gardens to consider for your celebration, including some indoor spaces, and Ken has added a tidewater tent for outdoor weddings and parties; this is a \u201cfancy\u201d high peak sailcloth tent.
