From the reviews
Absolutely spectacular venue for special events and parties. If your event is in the evening, it is a bit of a walk from the main entrance of the botanical garden to get to the Spink Pavilion. However, its a very pleasant walk.
Absolutely gorgeous area and venue, wonderful sights and comfortable seating, close proximity to food and the entrance/exit. The water lilies and giant lily pads are fantastic!
Attend monthly dinners here and it is ALWAYS fabulous! Excellent venue with awesome views of the gardens. Food is spectacular! Live it!!
We own a Dj business Wedding Scratchers Srl, and this is one of the best venues that we have been. Rhonda was a great host!
Getting married at Spink Pavilion
Spink Pavilion comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
