The online reviews agreed with what we thought of the gardens, although some were not very positive about the restaurant that they have on the property. One reviewer wrote, “The gardens are a jewel for the Kansas City area” (Martinezcm, 2014), but went on to add, “their restaurant has awful hours and worse menu” (Martinezcm, 2014). While we did not experience the café they have to offer, we thought that it was a great place to have events without the use of the café. While reading other online reviews one said, “they have various types of ecosystems from beautiful gardens to ponds, marshes, woods with hiking trails to grassfields and a barnyard” (Mlgocon, 2014). There is more to Powell Gardens than just a pretty venue, there are also every day things that you can go enjoy such as the hiking trails. When looking at reviews though it seems that Powell Gardens would be better suited for special events, like a wedding. A bride that had been married at the gardens wrote a review about how great the scenery was for her event saying, “Powell Gardens is the perfect site for a beautiful wedding. The chapel is amazing and creates such an intimate environment for a wedding” (Amanda, 2008). All the online reviews for weddings that we read were almost all identical, “Powell Gardens chapel is definitely one of a kind; we knew right away it was the place for our ceremony. It's located in the midst of nature and all its beautiful surroundings. Plus the pictures onsite are amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better venue” (Kellkat11, 2011). We think this would be a great venue place as well as a great place to
