    A Beautiful Place to get Married

    Huntsville Botanical Gardens Carriage House was the perfect location for our wedding. The staff was friendly and prompt, one staff member, Lauren, was particularly amazing and helped the day run so smoothly! The weather of course, helped enhance the venue tenfold. Our guests loved touring the gardens and seeing the newest art installations. We appreciate all the staff for helping our day be as beautiful as their garden! Highly recommend!

    Awesome venue. Our coordinator Debbie was great

    We hosted a beautiful wedding at the Botanical gardens. We used the carriage house for the wedding, conservatory for the cocktail hour and the grand hall for the reception. The venue is so beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Everyone at the wedding was impressed with the venue

    Wedding st the Huntsville Botanical! Garden!

    The Wedding venue of the Carriage House , Conservatory, and Grand Hall of the Botanical Garden were magnificent! Well designed and so beautifully planned for events.
    The staff could not have been more professional, flexible, and gracious!! Even in the middle of the Covid pandemic they made sure all our venues were safe and within protocol!
    I thank them for making my daughters dream come true!❤️

    Flexibility during Covid was such a blessing

    When we visited the Garden, my daughter and I thought we had already made the decision about where her summer wedding would take place. The only reason we even kept our appointment is because we already rescheduled and Julie D. was super gracious about it. Then we saw it. Wow! I had no idea the new building was even built and it is spectacular. That, plus proximity to the airport, shopping and hotels made it just the right choice. Planning during Covid was a challenge, but Julie helped us come up with creative safety solutions even when the rules were changing every week. Numbers of guests were limited to half capacity, so the DJ (Metropolitan DJ) streamed the service from the Carriage House room for people waiting in the reception room and also for people who needed to stay at home. The buffet line had servers with gloves and masks and the tables were distanced. Everything was clean and beautiful. The Garden was highly flexible and even hosted our rehearsal dinner the night before (in a different building) when our other venue cancelled two weeks before the event. I'm sure the groom's mother would agree with all the above.

    Huntsville Botanical Garden's reply:

    We adored having your family at the Garden! I appreciate your kind words and was so impressed by how calm you all were throughout this whole process given all the uncertainty. We wish your daughter and her new husband a lifetime of happiness!!

    Rehearsal Dinner

    We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner in the Arbor House. It was beautiful and Julie and her staff were wonderful. We live in Maryland, so this was all done long distance. When we arrived, everything was more than we expected. They are very responsive, and helped with anything we needed. Beautiful venue.

    We LOVED our garden wedding!

    Julie at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens was a dream to work with! Their staff is so friendly, accommodating and kind, and we couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for our dream wedding. Since we were planning our wedding long-distance, Julie even did a facetime tour of the venue for us so we could see it during the summer months before we booked. We'd recommend the Gardens to anyone -- thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!

    Huntsville Botanical Garden's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved having your celebrate at the Garden - you both were so fun and easy to work with and we hope you'll return to Huntsville many times to see us again. All the best!!

    Fantastic venue

    The Huntsville Botanical Gardens is a very special place. My daughters wedding was there and i just can’t say enough kind words about the staff, the grounds and everything in between. If there’s ever such a thing as a perfect venue...this is it ! Hats off to Julie and her team for a superb job.

    Huntsville Botanical Garden's reply:

    It was such a joy having your family at the Garden. Our team loved every second of working with you, your wife and your sweet, thoughtful, beautiful daughter. I can't wait to see all the gorgeous pictures!

    Rehearsal Dinner

    I had my son’s rehearsal dinner at Huntsville Botanical Gardens recently. The Carriage House was stunning! I highly recommend The Carriage House at Huntsville Botanical Gardens. Everyone raved about how beautiful it was. We were able to open the doors and the guest were able to enjoy the view of the patio and lovely gardens. Julie was a gem to work with. I highly recommend this venue.

    Huntsville Botanical Garden's reply:

    We loved having you here to celebrate such a big day for your son and his new bride! I am so happy that everything went well and your guests enjoyed their time at the Garden!

    Huntsville Botanical Garden was a beautiful venue to get married in. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception in the carriage house. The carriage house is beautiful, it fit our rustic wedding style. The people at the botanical garden are very friendly and are willing to work with you. They provided a beautiful and lasting experience.

    There is nothing else to say. The venue was beautiful. I had full access to the grounds on the day of the event. During my planning activities Lee Anne Pasker was prompt to help answer any questions. Our staff person during the day, Dave Jacobsen was equally phenomenal. He was so cheerful and encouraging and helpful. Thanksw to DAve and Lee Anne!

    Lee Ann & Cindy were great to work with. They were very passionate in helping me getting things situated for the wedding. With the size wedding party we had they did their best to accommodate us. Having a garden wedding has been my dream as a little girl, yet Huntsville Botanical Garden made my dream come true.

    We rented the carriage house for our wedding reception. The ceremony was at the cottage garden which is not the area usually reserved for weddings. I was grateful that they allowed us to be flexible on where our wedding was. There were two other weddings on site that day. While my ceremony and reception went on without being interrupted, my guest did have a hard time finding the ceremony site. The gardens provided a person to direct guest to the right wedding, but I think there were too many guests to manage everyone. I was disappointed that we couldn't get the AV system to work resulting in not being able to display an image/slide show at the reception. I was thankful the bar services (alcohol, tender, and serving ware) were provided for me. Although there was some miscommunication early on about exactly what was and was not provided. I rented wine glasses because I thought I had to only to find out plastic cups were to be provided. There was a golf cart provided for transporting the bride and groom, but the gardens were kind enough to allow my grandmother to be transported using the cart as well. Overall it was a great place to have our wedding and reception with very minor issues.

    The botanical gardens is a beautiful setting for any event. The Arbor room hardly needs any decorations. The construction on the entrance was disappointing. the hostess was rude to my husband and my mom, which irritated me to no end. The bartender more than made up for it. She was so sweet and did an incredible job keeping everyone happy.
