About

Palma Sola Botanical Park sits in a residential corner of North West Bradenton. It offers 10 acres of lush, tranquil garden in a park setting, with 3 ponds, lawns, groves of native and exotic trees, and flowering plants and bushes. It is home to many species of native birds and butterflies.The grounds also include a screened Pavilion with picnic tables, 2 gazebos and a set of public Restrooms. There are shelled pathways and resting benches throughout the Park.

The Galleria offers a room that holds 80 guests indoor, with available seating for an additonal 80-100 through the 3 sets of french doors between the Galleria and its decking/porch which is half roofed. The couple can elect to have their ceremony anywhere on the property and the entire Park is theirs to use for guests, ceremony, reception and photographs during the rental. The Park turns the grounds over to the couple for their special day and approximately one hour before the ceremony, the only visitors in the Park are their invited guests. Larger weddings are welcome to have a tent set up on the property to accommodate more guests, dining & dancing, the ceremony or any combination of those activities.

The Galleria has: tucked into one corner a good-sized wet bar, mens' and ladies' rooms, and through a door on the opposite side of the room, a caterers' kitchen. In addition to the Galleria and grounds, your rental includes a separate preparation room for the Bride and her attendants - the Brides' Room, with a rest room & mini galley kitchen.

At this time, Palma Sola Botanical Park has no preferred providers for officiants, catering, music, decorating, furnishings/equipment/tent/tableware rental, flowers, cake, etc., which means that you are free to use any vendors that meet your needs and your wedding will only be limited by your imagination.

Congratulations on your engagement!

Palma Sola Botanical Park is the perfect venue.

We looked at several venues in different areas as we tried to decide on our vision and then happened to find the website for Palma Sola Botanical Park a few weeks before our visit to the Sarasota area to visit another venue. From the minute I saw it, I knew it was the place where I wanted to get married. There are so many beautiful places to choose from for an outdoor wedding ceremony, and the Park is the most gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos. We got married in late December, and it was still so green and vibrant. We even had some of the bright flowers in the background of our pictures! Due to cooler weather in the evening, we ended up having to move our reception indoors. It was so nice to have the option was the perfect size for our 50 guests. We loved how everything turned out even though it wasn't our original vision- it is such a nice space. Bev was great to work with and was patient and helpful in answering all our questions. The Park is affordable and seriously such a hidden gem. I would highly recommend considering it as the perfect backdrop for your wedding!

Amazing day

We got married on 11/11/2021. It was an absolute dream come true. This garden is beautiful in every season. You can choose the ceremony location and decorate however you want with some understandable environmental restrictions (no balloons or confetti, etc.) which was fine because I don’t want to litter anyway. Staff was very easy to communicate with, if they didn’t answer the phone they would call me back the same day. Beautiful bridal suite with plenty of room for 10-12 people. White tables and chairs are included! And so many different cool backdrops for photos! Overall I would do it again in a heartbeat.
