Wedding & Photo Permits

Celebrate in the Gardens!

You’ll be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Gardens when you select Boerner Botanical Gardens for your wedding or vow renewal ceremony. Our Wedding Ceremony Sites are available Spring through Fall, offering a variety of blooms and beauty in each season. Prior to June, fewer flowers are blooming in the sites, and all sites become less colorful after mid-October due to frost and winter preparation of the Gardens. The historic Garden House or the Education & Visitor Center may be rented for dressing facilities or as an alternate ceremony site in case of inclement weather. White folding chairs may also be rented for your ceremony. RockGarden
