From the reviews
This is a review for their event services. I hosted my wedding here in Oct. 2021 (Yes I'm a year late for writing a review, lol.) and it was easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. I cannot say enough good things about Doug! He made the planning so easy and was stellar to work with.
We had our wedding here in January and it was beautiful! It was already very pretty before you add any decor which was a big factor in choosing this location. All we added was the flowers. So convenient to get flowers and bouquet right there that turned out beautiful as well.
We hosted our wedding and reception at Cactus and Tropicals Draper, and they helped us create the wedding of our dreams. Doug and his team are consummate professionals - everything runs like a well-oiled machine to ensure your event goes off without a hitch.

Getting married at Cactus & Tropicals
Cactus & Tropicals comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
