Our History
The Garden Gate was founded in 1989 when Liz Horton planned and coordinated a wedding as “a favor” for a friend. For the next 10 years, Liz and her associates designed flowers for weddings, parties and gala events. As clients began asking her to plan their events from start to finish, The Garden Gate’s focus began to shift from floral design into event planning. In 2002 The Garden Gate become Garden Gate Events. Now more than twenty years later, Garden Gate Events is proud to continue to plan special and distinctive events for our loyal client base.
