Weddings
Picture your wedding day, surrounded by family and friends in the beauty of nature. Friendship Gardens offers two very unique outdoor settings as beautiful backgrounds for your special day. Our weddings are scheduled from the third weekend in May through the second weekend of October.
The Symphony Garden is beautifully situated with a dancing fountain, overhanging tall spruce trees and a white canopy that lets in natural light. The seating area under the canopy and aisle that leads to the grassy stage is attractively paved. (Engraved pavers can be purchased to commemorate the day. Click on Milestones for a brochure.) A bridal tent is nearby for the convenience and privacy of the bride and her maids. See rates and reservations
The Romanian Garden is an open lawn area surrounded by trees, hydrangea shrubs and gardens of flowers. It is designed to accommodate smaller, more intimate weddings and seats up to 150 guests.
Rental fees include chair setup, use of the wedding area for three hours, a one-hour rehearsal date, and, during the wedding, the use of a golf cart/people mover with driver. Golf carts are provided to transport persons needing assistance.
Please take a look around our weddings section and see what we’ve got to offer for your special day.
