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

We LOVED our garden wedding!

Julie at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens was a dream to work with! Their staff is so friendly, accommodating and kind, and we couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for our dream wedding. Since we were planning our wedding long-distance, Julie even did a facetime tour of the venue for us so we could see it during the summer months before we booked. We'd recommend the Gardens to anyone -- thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!

Allissa and Nick Gentile Wedding Day

Debbie at the gardens was so friendly and helpful. We were from out of town and they had a vendor list that was so helpful for planning the perfect wedding. The day was magical. Everyone at the gardens made it easy to have the perfect beautiful wedding.

Fantastic venue

The Huntsville Botanical Gardens is a very special place. My daughters wedding was there and i just can’t say enough kind words about the staff, the grounds and everything in between. If there’s ever such a thing as a perfect venue...this is it ! Hats off to Julie and her team for a superb job.

Flexibility during Covid was such a blessing

When we visited the Garden, my daughter and I thought we had already made the decision about where her summer wedding would take place. The only reason we even kept our appointment is because we already rescheduled and Julie D. was super gracious about it. Then we saw it. Wow! I had no idea the new building was even built and it is spectacular. That, plus proximity to the airport, shopping and hotels made it just the right choice. Planning during Covid was a challenge, but Julie helped us come up with creative safety solutions even when the rules were changing every week. Numbers of guests were limited to half capacity, so the DJ (Metropolitan DJ) streamed the service from the Carriage House room for people waiting in the reception room and also for people who needed to stay at home. The buffet line had servers with gloves and masks and the tables were distanced. Everything was clean and beautiful. The Garden was highly flexible and even hosted our rehearsal dinner the night before (in a different building) when our other venue cancelled two weeks before the event. I'm sure the groom's mother would agree with all the above.

Rehearsal Dinner

We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner in the Arbor House. It was beautiful and Julie and her staff were wonderful. We live in Maryland, so this was all done long distance. When we arrived, everything was more than we expected. They are very responsive, and helped with anything we needed. Beautiful venue.

Rehearsal Dinner

I had my son’s rehearsal dinner at Huntsville Botanical Gardens recently. The Carriage House was stunning! I highly recommend The Carriage House at Huntsville Botanical Gardens. Everyone raved about how beautiful it was. We were able to open the doors and the guest were able to enjoy the view of the patio and lovely gardens. Julie was a gem to work with. I highly recommend this venue.
