Meadow

Capacity: 500

Each of our Formal Gardens creates a unique, magical space, featuring extensive plantings and over 100 ornaments and sculptures.

Outdoor garden events may be reserved in one of the following 3-hour time slots: 9am–12pm, 1–4pm, or 5-8pm. Because others may be using the same area on the same day, all activities (including photography and decorating) must begin and end within the rental period. If your event requires more than three hours, an additional three-hour time slot should be reserved. All garden events must end by 8pm unless prior approval is granted.

Weddings

Capacity: 500

Your reservation includes:

  • Site for designated day and time
  • Use, set-up, and tear-down of up to 200 chairs
    (Additional chairs are $3/chair)
  • Complimentary on-site parking

Tents are not permitted in any of the Formal Gardens. In the case of inclement weather, tents can be rented for an additional fee and placed in the Meadow as a back-up location. (There is an additional fee for tent rentals.)
