ENTIRE PARK – ALL DAY 

General – Thank you for your interest in celebrating your special event here in our beautiful gardens. The fees below include rental of the entire grounds from 8am until 11pm. The entire grounds include the beautiful main Galleria building that seats 80 people, the adjacent half covered deck with stunning views that seats another 80 people, the screened pavilion, a bride’s room with kitchenette, and several lovely lawn venues throughout the park. You may choose to have your ceremony and/or reception at any combination of these sites, but often couples choose to have their ceremony on the lawn then move into the Galleria building for the reception.

Furniture – We have tables and chairs available to seat approximately 100 guests available for your use at no charge, or you may rent furniture, tents, etc. from a number of companies that serve our park. We are a self-service facility, so you will be required to set up and break down any furniture. Depending on availability, an independent contractor may be available to hire for setup and tear down.

Catering – You may use the caterer of your choice. We have contact information for several companies that we have worked with in the past, should you be interested.

On-Site Manager – There is a fee of $250 for our On-Site Manager to be here the day of your event starting 1 ½ hours before your ceremony begins until all guests are gone. They will close down the park to the public, assist with wedding guest parking, be available for any questions, monitor the park during the event, and do the heavy cleaning after the furniture, trash, and personal items have been removed.

Venue Fee/Security Deposit – Your date will officially be reserved upon contract execution and receipt of half of the venue rental fee, plus a security deposit of $1,000. Payments accepted are cash, checks, MasterCard, or Visa. The balance of the venue rental fee, On-Site Manager’s fee, and proof of insurance are due 60 days prior to event. The security deposit will be refunded within two weeks following the wedding, assuming all rules have been followed and no damage has occurred.
