Beautiful. Perfect ceremony day

Had a wonderful experience at the garden for our ceremony and our portraits. Everyone was wonderful to work with and helped us with everything we needed. It was amazing even though the weather didn’t cooperate. Thank you again DSBG!

Gorgeous place and great staff!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and highly recommend this wedding place as a wedding venue to others. Everyone was good to us and help our wedding vendors get to where they needed to be. We appreciate that things were set up exactly the way they were contracted to be as well.

Perfect wedding venue

Had my wedding there and everyone has been so accommodating and thoughtful. Beautiful place that takes my breath away every time I visit.
I am so happy that we choose Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for our event. Every corner is a picturesque scene. I'm so excited to go back and visit for our 1 month anniversary and see their Christmas decorations. Amy and Kayla (event coordinators) were fantastic and made our wedding everything we could have dreamed of and more! Even if you are not doing an event here, go visit...it's a hidden gem!

Katy was a pleasure to work with! She was friendly, accommodating, and responsive to all of my questions and helped us from start to finish with the whole stressful wedding planning process. Everything ran smoothly the day of our wedding because of her and the venue is absolutely beautiful! Our guests truly enjoyed touring the gardens after the ceremony.

This was a beautiful location, and they were immensely helpful in choosing vendors. We had a lovely daytime ceremony in the white garden. Everyone was super helpful, and worked with us to get the perfect ceremony at a price that fit perfectly in our budget. All of the vendors we chose had done multiple events at the location and were very familiar with their operations. Truly professional and helped us make the perfect day for ourselves and out guests.

We had our wedding at DSBG in April and it was perfect for our morning ceremony and lunch reception. Prior to booking the garden we looked at about 8 other venues - we fell in love with the garden on our first visit. It’s a unique space in the metro Charlotte area - our guests had a great time and were blown away with the venue. DSBG staff were very accommodating and easy to work with - highly recommended!

A Christmas wedding at the garden was unbelievably beautiful with all the lights. The staff and especially Katy went above and beyond to make everything perfect! I can't say enough about this venue! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the wedding and reception were.

This was the first thing we booked when we planned our wedding and we could not have been happier with our choice. They were great about working with our planner and making her amazing design come to life. We ended up having rain on our day and so our original plan was not feasible. But, with all the amazing spaces in the gardens, our Plan B was just as beautiful. All of our guests loved roaming through the gardens during Cocktail hour. This is an enchanting place for a wedding if you are willing to be outside of Charlotte.
