I was there for a wedding on 06/10/2017. This is an excellent venue. The parking lot is a huge grass area. People direct you to a parking spot so parking is organized. The venue has an old Victorian type style to it. Plenty of shade for those hot summer events. The area for the wedding is a short walk from the reception area. They have a bar and very nice bathroom area. It is hard to find a problem with this venue. You do have to drive over a narrow bridge that might stress some drivers. I've driven over it in a full size pickup with no problem. The food was excellent and plenty of it. I would suggest this place for your event.

We just had my son's wedding at Victorian Garden. We can not say enough good things about it. The grounds are beautiful. The food was delicious! We are getting lots of compliments from our friends and family that the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. Mike and Gabe did a great job of taking care of all of our needs and made it a very relaxing and enjoyable evening. The new bathrooms are a wonderful addition. It truly is a wonderful venue and with the catering expertise that Fugazzi's brings it is a perfect venue. We honestly do not have one complaint and highly recommend Victorian Garden by Fugazzis!

I was married at this beautiful and quaint hidden garden and Victorian Home between Visalia and Farmersville. The site was gorgeous and beautiful for an outdoor wedding. But the owner/proprietor, Leda Inchcliff, was not easy to work with and very strict about the facilities. Events could only be five hours in length, no permanent restrooms, the Victorian house is a beautiful backdrop but off limits to guests and not supposed to appear in pictures. No offsite catering allowed, limited colors for linens, chairs, plates, and other rentals were basic unless you paid for upgrades. Tents are not easy to arrange, owner requires them to be installed and removed on same day of wedding .... Had to pay many extra fees to arrange a one day tent and floor rental. She has her own on site wedding coordinator who is very strict and not accommodating. Our pictures were cut short by their demanding 5 hour event restriction. Overall the guests saw very little of these issues, but as the bride I sweated every detail with her. The site is gorgeous and dotted with mature oak trees, which made for beautiful memories and photos, but the coordinator and owner are not someone I would send other brides too.

I had my wedding here. Silvia was great to work with and was so helpful in the planning process. The venue is so beautiful and did not require a lot of extra decoration. They include so much including the furniture and lighting, and we got a good deal on the dance floor.We chose this venue because it encompasses what we love about Visalia, with the greenery and the oak trees. Many of my guests have commented on how beautiful it was and thought it was very unique. The only concerns were regarding the bridge getting to the venue, but we did not have problems with it, and with getting our rentals out the night of the wedding, but it was easy to coordinate.The food was amazing, as we expected from Fugazzis. From the time of our tasting, we knew the food was going to be good. We had ample choices for our appetizers, the entree options were delicious and plentiful, the desserts were really good, and the late night tacos were a huge hit for our guests.Silvia was so helpful in planning the day. From coordinating with my vendors, to answering all of our questions, she helped the day go smoothly. She is very knowledgable and had good suggestions for our other vendors as we were doing our research.Overall, it was a great day, and I am so happy that we chose to have it at Victorian Garden.

Owner never available and hard to work with. Very inconsiderate of people around him, his staff has no clue what they are doing and he will only give you the run around.

I got married here several years ago and recently attended a wedding at the same place. It looks like a set from a movie. My wedding could not have been much better. The ownee Lida, was strict and there were a lot of add on charges but she wasn't around as much as their coordinator (I can't remember her name but she is a jolly red head) who was very friendly and organized and was in charge of everything plus she knows proper etiquett helped us with dealing with all our families that don't get along. Fugazzis has taken it over now. It looks like they are building bathrooms, which they need. The food was really good and so is the staff. The coordinator is the same as before and remembered me and my husband, which was nice. There is a new bar area that has seating and special lights and the gardens have been refreshed. There is no covered spaces but I would still pick this place. Way to go, Fugazzis and staff.
