The Botanical Gardens is a lovely, picture-perfect setting for an outdoor wedding. We offer five different romantic sites, all handicap accessible with the exception of the Cliff House.
The Meadow Lawn - a manicured lawn surrounded by rhododendrons, with a peak bloom time from mid-April through May. This site can accomodate up to 75 guests. Ceremony only - $500 (Receptions can be held on the Event Lawn.)
The Cliff House - a rustic building an easy, half mile walk from the entrance with a unique overlook of the bluffs and ocean through huge picture windows. This site can accomodate up to 25 guests. Ceremony only - $500 (Receptions can be held on the Event Lawn.)
The Dahlia Garden - a formal, manicured lawn surrounded by dahlias blooming from late July through October. Glimpses of the ocean beyond and a lovely new gazebo make this our most requested site. Up to 200 guests. Ceremony only - $1,000 (Receptions can be held on the Event Lawn.)
The Vegetable Garden - a site with decorative fencing, herb and vegetable gardens and flowers that bloom year round. An apple orchard and rustic buildings complete the country-like setting. This site can accomodate up to 100 guests. Ceremony - $600; ceremony and reception - $1,100.
The Event Lawn - a large, manicured lawn surrounded by trees perfect for large tents and celebrations. Ceremony - $900; reception - $1,000; ceremony and reception - $1,800.
For parties larger than 200, please contact Gardens' Wedding Liason for costs.
Ceremonies can be scheduled for up to two hours, and receptions for up to four hours, following the ceremony. The Gardens remains in normal operation and the wedding site will not be closed off to the public. However, "private event" signs will be provided and we find that Garden vistors are usually very respectful.
