Stunning Garden Weddings
The New York Botanical Garden creates the perfect backdrop for your wedding. In spring, surround yourself with lush English roses in the formal rose garden. In summer, let the softly rushing sounds of the Bronx river accompany your ceremony. In fall, the vibrant foliage will set the stage for a wedding filled with color. In winter, imagine a snowy backdrop, complete with berried holly and stunning pines. The New York Botanical Garden sets the stage for a wedding infused with nature and is the quintessential location for a couple who adores the great outdoors and the city alike. The Garden Terrace Room features sparkling chandeliers and state-of-the-art lighting to lend modern elegance to your special day. The Stone Mill offers a paramount combination of historic charm and modern comfort.
