For larger celebrations, The Grand Hall is a spacious area with minimalist decoration and a large dancefloor. The Carriage House welcomes guests to dance the night away under a beamed ceiling and exquisite chandelier, with carriage doors opening that open either side. Nichols Arbor is the final reception space, fairytale-like with a grapevine-covered trellis. Each space can be tailored to suit the couple and their needs.

A Beautiful Place to get Married

Huntsville Botanical Gardens Carriage House was the perfect location for our wedding. The staff was friendly and prompt, one staff member, Lauren, was particularly amazing and helped the day run so smoothly! The weather of course, helped enhance the venue tenfold. Our guests loved touring the gardens and seeing the newest art installations. We appreciate all the staff for helping our day be as beautiful as their garden! Highly recommend!

Awesome venue. Our coordinator Debbie was great

We hosted a beautiful wedding at the Botanical gardens. We used the carriage house for the wedding, conservatory for the cocktail hour and the grand hall for the reception. The venue is so beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Everyone at the wedding was impressed with the venue
