The BRIT was the perfect venue for our wedding. Lydia was great and helped every step of the way. They provided a clean, beautiful and accommodating space for our day. The unique design of the building and outdoor spaces made for an elegant location for our ceremony and reception! -

Brady Sent on 10/07/2017The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens is an excellent location for those on a budget. Our ceremony was in the Fuller Garden and was the perfect location for our intimate garden wedding and made for beautiful photos! Highly recommend!

Sarah Sent on 06/16/2009I have to say that picking a garden to have my wedding in June didn't seem smart to most people. But this garden was the best! Behind us we had a Coi pond and water fall. The flowers were beautiful. And the staff were great too. I felt like a queen when I was there! I would recommend this location to anyone who wants romance and nature. -

Jennifer Sent on 07/12/2009The gardens were a great site for us. Even though it was quite hot, the setting was beautiful just liked I dreamed. The value for the money is great too. We held our reception in Redbud hall, which worked out wonderfully for us. I loved the convenience of not having to leave the ceremony site for the reception. I would recommend them and use them again if I ever had a need for it. -

Jennifer Sent on 12/08/2016Beautiful place! Overpriced for number of people we had but, priced based on maximum occupancy. Was a fairytale wedding and reception! Only downside is only one food/drink vendor allowed! -

Alison Sent on 11/01/2012My husband and I had our wedding and reception at these gardens. We had our ceremony in the Fuller gardens. It was only 300 dollars for the ceremony and that includes the bridal room. For such a beautiful outdoor venue, that's an AMAZING deal. It was gorgeous!
The reception was great. The staff are really willing to help with anything that they can. They're very nice. My only critique is that you have to go through a hassle if you want to serve any beer or liquor at your reception. I guess that they don't want people getting too drunk which is a legitimate concern, but at a wedding reception, people drink! Also, you're not permitted to serve red wine. I guess someone stained one of their floors once. That didn't bother me too much, but I could see it bothering someone else. We did get the special permission for the beer, and we only served beer and white wine.
Those are just small issues. My reception turned out great! I cried at my reception because it was so perfect. -

Bailey Sent on 12/08/2015We booked the Redbud hall for next October. The staff is wonderful and they respond quickly to emails. It seemed a little expensive for the room, but for the location it is a good price. I am overall excited about having my reception at this location. -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/05/2012I had both my wedding and reception at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden. I really hate to mark them down because in the last month before my wedding I worked with the customer service supervisor Diana and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. Even on our wedding day it was pouring down rain and we had to be moved inside she really worked with us and the wedding turned out to be better than I could imagine. The only reason I marked them down was specifically due to one person. I first booked my wedding there I was working with a guy that was really rude and inconsiderate. When we called to ask questions about what type of chair would be in the garden for the wedding to see about getting covers he said "It's just a chair." Then I wanted to add time to the beginning and end of my reception and called him so he could do my credit card over the phone and he told me that he wouldn't do it (even though they did it before) and I would have to come in so he can change the contract. When I asked if I could do that on Saturday (since I booked my wedding on a Saturday and had come in to pay for items multiple times on a Saturday with no issue) he said no because he is only there Mon - Fri 9-5. I had to get my husband to go and do this during his lunch. Come to find out he didn't even update the contract.
My only warning is really read the contract because there are alot of restrictions and watch for extra costs (chairs for the wedding in the garden cost $5 each). Overall it was still less expensive than most other locations I found. -

Karen Sent on 05/21/2013Our wedding took place at the Japanese Gardens. The staff replied to emails promptly and the gardens were beautiful. Double check if you need to rent chairs because apparently it is only at the Botanical Gardens; the Japanese Gardens uses an outside vendor for that and it can add up. We were allowed to bring our own chairs for our musicians. The gardens are going through a remodeling process and some areas that were available previously; were blocked off but we managed to have a beautiful wedding nonetheless. -

The beauty of the gardens is a 5 star. Also, the willingness of Cora to help was a 5 star.
The greatest universal issue was the transportation from parking lot to ceremony to reception. They were able to help ensure the reception would go on by granting us an upgrade from an indoor venue to an outdoor one. However, originally upon reserving the understanding was that every guest would receive a lift on golf cart to and fro. Then, the week of they let me know it was only people with medical needs and volunteers. Well, a group of people with medical needs was denied as well as my volunteers. A gentleman in a wheelchair only was allowed to ride and not his family. My photographer was refused a ride.
My mother was dressing in the rented bridal room and the custodians rushed in which made her feel uncomfortable. Ultimately, the attitude of the supervisor (older woman) was the greatest concern. She called my photographer an ass and I blame her for the disorganized usage of the golf cart and miscommunication with the staff. -

Emily Sent on 11/15/2011BEAUTIFUL place (we had our ceremony and reception in the Japanese Gardens). You have to use their caterer, very restrictive on timing of event. If you really want the venue, be prepared to play by their rules. -
User2580717 Sent on 04/18/2016The Fuller Garden was a beautiful venue. However, I recommend hiring a wedding coordinator because the garden office staff is not very well organized or professional. The building was locked and closed during our rehearsal an hour prior to the posted closing time. We were locked out as well as the public coming to visit that evening. We were not provided a wedding coordinator or the two attendants that were paid for in the contract. They did not set up the correct number of chairs and we had to get that corrected. We kept getting locked out of the brides room and no one could find a key. I recommend you hire a professional to tend to the details of the day and get everything you are asking for written into the contract because you'll get a different answer to the same question each time you call - it's almost like a sitcom. Because we were well organized, had everything written into the contract, and hired our own wedding coordinator, the ceremony ended up being lovely in spite of the incompetence.
