Garden Wedding Venues
Botanic gardens, estate gardens, and arboretums — for couples who want lush florals built into the venue.
Garden venues hand you the floral design for free. Expect a ceremony lawn, formal hedge backdrops, and either a greenhouse-style reception space or a tent location on the grounds. Most have strict decor and pin-in-ground restrictions to protect the plants.

Garden venue FAQs
What decor isn't allowed at most garden venues?
Confetti, rice, balloon releases, sparklers, and ground stakes are commonly prohibited. Petals are sometimes allowed; check the contract.
Do garden venues have a rain plan?
The good ones include a greenhouse, tent platform, or indoor pavilion. Never book a garden venue without a tested rain plan in writing.
When do gardens look best?
Late May through early October across most of the US. Botanic gardens often charge premium rates during peak bloom (April-June).
