Awesome venue for a beautiful day

The staff at the Garden was super helpful from the first time we came in to look at the venue all the way through the big day. They were able to provide lots of insights and tips during the rehearsal to make sure the day went smoothly. We got lucky with some beautiful weather, and our guests have been talking about our wedding months later!

Best night ever!

Everything was perfect! Our day of coordinator was very friendly and knowledgeable. Not to mention the venue is BEAUTIFUL! So many photo opportunities.
I rated GBBG as if COVID didn’t exist because that’s out of their control but the restrictions were extreme so if you’re someone not willing to budge with the guest list GBBG may not be the best fit. Lucky for us, July was the perfect time because the restrictions were lifted. Thank goodness!

Beautiful Venue - Worth Every Penny

We are so glad we chose the Green Bay Botanical Gardens for our ceremony site. What a beautiful place to exchange your nuptials. And the background for your pictures is amazingly stunning. The staff kept in contact with me through the whole Covid mess and was extremely helpful on the day of our wedding. I highly recommend this venue. They are thorough and organized. It was a delightful experience!

Beautiful!

Our ceremony was absolutely stunning. The Kress Oval Garden was the perfect size and required little to no decorations because it was so beautiful on its own. The event coordinator, Hannah, was awesome to work with and very accommodating. I highly recommend booking your ceremony here!!!

I will say that I have absolutely no regrets in selecting the Green Bay Botanical Garden for our venue. Simply put, it was amazing! I thought the pricing was very reasonable and I felt good about paying a non-profit instead of a reception hall. Amber and Haley were extremely helpful and are very experienced in event planning. Nicole helped on the wedding day; she was excellent. I really enjoyed working with people who clearly take pride in their work. Even small details, they were able to help out and make suggestions along the way. I really appreciated their help. We had a small wedding with 49 guests. The Kaftan Lusthaus building was perfect for our needs. Technically we were 'inside' but with the windows and doors open it was like we had an outdoors ceremony. It was really perfect. The next best part, you really cannot beat the beautiful setting of the gardens. All of our guests commented on how lovely the grounds were and how perfect the setting was. This also made it easy and convenient for our photos. We didn't need to run to various locations - there are so many different 'areas' within the garden for photo settings. We really had a perfect wedding day and that certainly had to do in part to our selection of the Green Bay Botanical Garden.

The Green Bay Botanical Gardens was such a beautiful place to have our wedding ceremony and reception! Our guests loved having access to the gardens and to see all of the gorgeous flowers. Amber and Haley were easy to contact and great to work with. They made sure that everything was scheduled right and laid out perfectly. The staff the day of were super helpful and friendly. Everything went perfectly and the gardens made it absolutely wonderful!

The wedding coordinators are very thorough with their correspondence and are always very responsive. We just had our ceremony here and the pictures we are seeing are absolutely gorgeous. They were very accommodating for our elderly guests as well! The gardens are gorgeous and would definitely recommend this venue to anyone!

LOVED having our wedding here!! Such a beautiful place and the staff were so helpful! Hayley helped me walk thru all the details that needed to be done and was so patient with me and my anxiety to make sure everything was perfect! The "day of" person assisting me (Pretty sure her name is Stephanie) was so helpful and professional! I had forgotten a major detail of having something to put water in to water our ceremony tree and she came through for me last minute, thank you!! Also, she was great with keeping our guys on time and helping them with when to walk, etc. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend the Gardens for ANY type of event!! Absolutely gorgeous!

We used the Green Bay Botanical Gardens as our Reception venue and could not be happier with our choice! Amber so so accommodating and helpful. She answered all our questions (and there were a lot) in a timely manner and helped us in any way we could. We were at ease on the day of our event that everything would run smoothly and that we wouldn't have to worry about anything. We got beautiful photos in the gardens and a wondering night to remember. Definitely a beautiful venue that is easy to customize to get exactly what you want on your wedding day! I would highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
