We had our wedding ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner at this venue in the fall of 2024. It was beautiful and all our vendors really out did themselves. The venue was easy to work with and super accommodating of our ideas and plans. The caterer they work with was great as well and all my guests had a lovely time. We choose to stay at the house on-site and do the wine pouring ceremony, both of which I would recommend. No complaints and our pictures turned out amazing in the vineyards.

My husband and I recently booked the Broderie Room for a small intimate wedding and could not be happier that we did. From start to finish, everything was perfect. We worked with Caroline Walker as our Day-of-Coordinator. She was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, asked plenty of questions during our walk through meeting to ensure she was prepared for the big day, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly during the ceremony. The Broderie Room and the Conservatory itself is just phenomenal. The spring flowers were beyond gorgeous and I can't say enough great things about the beauty throughout the entire building. We had an amazing experience and so appreciate Phipp's and Caroline for making our special day as perfect as it was.

I can't recommend the Botanic Garden enough as a wedding venue. It was pricier than other venues we looked at but so worth it for the space and for the services you get. Obviously the space is beautiful but the staff was really amazing. They met with us to organize our timeline for the day and go over everything in advance, coordinated with our vendors, and basically made us feel totally at ease with how the wedding was going to go. Day-of the staff and Emily in particular was with us every step of the way, making sure things ran smoothly, getting us to the right place at the right time, and organizing everything. We also got driven around on a golf cart for our photos which meant we really got to use the Botanic Garden space and get some amazing pictures.
