What started as a private property to host friends, colleagues, and family has become one of Pierce County’s most charming hidden gem venues.
In 2013, we began creating this peaceful escape between Tacoma and Puyallup – building the gardens, tending to the orchard, and shaping spaces that would bring people together. Over the years, we’ve hosted everything from intimate celebrations to lively corporate events, and after one unforgettable wedding in 2024, we knew it was time to share this space more widely.
Now, Vickery Gardens is open to the public, welcoming couples and event hosts who want something beautiful, flexible, and grounded in nature – without all the usual venue headaches.
At Vickery Gardens, we’ve thoughtfully designed our venue to offer an exceptional experience not only for couples, but for every guest who walks through our gates. From private, well-appointed getting-ready suites to effortless guest amenities like on-site parking and indoor restrooms, every detail is curated for comfort, convenience, and celebration. You focus on the magic—we’ll handle the rest.
Our bride’s quarters offers:
• A full kitchen for pre-ceremony snacks or a glass of bubbly
• A private bathroom for comfort and convenience
• A cozy living room area to relax with your wedding party
• A dedicated getting-ready room with vanity and natural light
Our groom’s room provides a quiet, comfortable space to prepare, recharge, or
share a toast with friends.
Guests enjoy:
• On-site parking for 50+ vehicles. No shuttles, no stress.
• Permanent indoor restrooms. No porta-potties here
• A welcoming bar under the grape arbor, perfect for cocktail hour
Everything is designed so you can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.
At Vickery Gardens, you’ll find yourself surrounded by towering 100-year-old fir trees, vibrant flower and vegetable gardens, and a tranquil pond complete with a fountain.
The grape arbor over the outdoor bar invites guests to linger, while manicured lawns and a small orchard add to the sense of quiet abundance. There’s space here to breathe, gather, and celebrate — all just minutes from Hwy 512 yet a world away from the city’s pace.
Vickery Gardens offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, so you can create the celebration you’ve been dreaming of. Exchange vows beneath the trees by the pond or in our charming chapel with raised stage and seating for 100. Host your reception in the 2,300 sq. ft. indoor venue, where elegant chandeliers cast a warm glow over dinner and dancing.
A paved outdoor area is perfect for tents, open-air dining, or dancing under the stars and everything is included in your rental, without hidden tiers or upsells.

Planning an event is enough work — your venue shouldn’t add to the stress. That’s why we make it easy. You’ll have access to the property the day before for setup and rehearsal, full-day use for your celebration (with music outdoors until 10 PM and indoors until 1 AM), and plenty of time the next day for cleanup – or we can handle it for you.
Our open vendor policy means you can bring in your favorite caterer, florist, or DJ. And with flexible indoor and outdoor layouts, you’ll have peace of mind no matter the weather.
Vickery Gardens is a hidden gem for Pierce County weddings and events, combining rustic charm, thoughtful amenities, and a truly accommodating approach. If you’re searching for a venue near Tacoma, Puyallup, or South Sound that feels like an escape – but close to home — come take a tour.
