From the reviews
Beautiful gardens... we greatly enjoyed soaking up the ambience. Restful healing energy. We learned you can rent this place out for weddings... or for a celebration of life. When you arrive, there is a pay here box and a very helpful map. The gardens go way-back...
We had a mid-September wedding for 110 guests. Absolutely gorgeous venue. The garden speaks for itself. Bridal suite and groom's room on-site. Catering kitchen, tiki bar, ceremony garden, and reception hall. Tables & chairs included, and optional linen rental - It's all there!
Dan has done an; incredible job nurturing his private property into a splendid oasis of tricking water, blooming flowers, and inviting gazebos. Entry is sort of free, but the sign at the door asks for $7.50 per adult, and you'll be glad you made the contribution.
We had our wedding at DanWalt Gardens this past October, and it was absolutely perfect! The gardens are stunning and made for such a beautiful backdrop during the fall season. The owners were incredibly kind, organized, and easy to work with, which made the planning process so much smoother and stress-free.
Getting married at DanWalt Botanical Gardens
DanWalt Botanical Gardens 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.
Corporate events & private parties at DanWalt Botanical Gardens
Corporate events, retreats, or private parties come up for DanWalt Botanical Gardens — greenhouse venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
