  • Perfect spot for a small wedding!

    I had my wedding ceremony in the Water Garden Gazebo. We (bride, groom, & guests) loved it! It was a lovely location- a straight walk from the visitor center and touch up room. It was easy to spot and covered so that if it had rained, we would have been protected from the rain! We worked with the Botanic Gardens event planning team to secure our venue at the Water Garden Gazebo, which was very easy to do. We really appreciated the prompt responses to our emails and the thorough details provided to us by the event planning team as we planned our wedding from across the country! The Botanic Gardens was the perfect choice for a venue- the backdrop of our ceremony was lovely and our guests were able to enjoy the gardens while the bride and groom took their wedding portraits. It was a win-win for everyone!!

    My husband and I just tied the knot at the Woodland Mosaic in the Denver Botanic Gardens. We planned this event ourselves, though our event contact, Kyle Carr-Patrick was the key to our success. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of our many questions, helped us problem solve made sure our day went smoothly, and was overall great to work with. Highly recommend this venue for a small wedding (50 people). We had a wonderful time and will remember this experience as fond for the rest of our lives.

    What a dream! We squeezed 45 people into the solarium for a seated morning ceremony in mid-july. It was quite warm but that was to be expected. The venue was gorgeous, we didn't need to add any flowers aside from centerpieces once the space was turned over for meals. Our guests went to explore the gardens while we took our photos and everyone loved how dreamy of a venue it was. I was concerned it wouldn't feel private enough being at a public venue but it really did feel like we were in our own little world. Beth was our contact and she was wonderful. We went with serendipity catering for affordable food and bev and it was perfect. We know we made the right choice for our garden wedding party!
