FAQs

Since seating, tables, officiant, music, decor, and photography are arranged by the wedding party, you’ll need to abide by the Gardens’ rules (e.g. non-disruption of the butterflies, no loud disruptive noise, etc.). It’s best to discuss any special requests ahead of time with the Coordinator.

Our Event Coordinator will work with you and your wedding planner throughout the planning stages to ensure the venue is set up to support every aspect of your wedding.
On your special day, our team will support your wedding planner and suppliers to ensure a seamless celebration for you and your guests.
