  Morgan/Campbell Wedding 12/08/23

  Everything was so beautiful and the staff was so helpful and amazing, I’m so glad we picked Sunken Gardens! The weather happened to be perfect, I’m obsessed with how beautiful it was!

  Perfect Venue

  From our first tour at Sunken Gardens to our actual wedding day, the venue could not have looked more perfect. We barely needed any additional decorations because the flowers were in full bloom and guests truly enjoyed the opportunity to wander the whole garden throughout the night. We had our wedding at three different locations throughout the gardens, allowing us and guests to experience the different flowers/greenery around the garden. Both Sarah and Stacey were easy to communicate with and were always on top of everything they needed from us, but we are glad we got an additional day of coordinator who worked the closest with the staff on the week leading up to it and on the actual day. While there are some rules to keep in mind as the venue is owned by the city, we felt they really tried to accommodate what we needed and the beauty of the venue overshadowed everything. Highly recommend checking this place out (but know you will probably have to book far out from when you visit – SO worth it).

  Fairytale wedding

  Sunken Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only is it remarkably affordable compared to similar options in other parts of Florida, it is also the best place to get married in St. Pete if the weather is nice. We got married in early November 2023 and were given the most beautiful day. The staff at Sunken Gardens were very helpful and easy to reach. If you are looking for an enchanting jungle paradise to tie the knot in, look no further than Sunken Gardens.

  A Fantastic Experience

  Sunken Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding! We had reached out to other potential sites, but no one was as helpful and responsive as Stacey and Stephanie at Sunken Gardens. The gardens are obviously beautiful. Beyond that, the staff supported us every step of the way, answered all of our questions and made planning a wedding out of state (we live in California) as easy for us as possible. We had a lot of questions about accessibility for our guests, and they were patient with us every time we reached out. The day-of was smooth and exactly what we were hoping for. We’re so happy to have gotten married there!

  Our friends and family LOVED this venue

  From the start of booking Sunken Gardens, the event staff was easy to work with and quick to respond. They were so sweet and made the week of our wedding stress free! Our day was so beautiful- our guests could not stop talking about how stunning everything was. They loved the cocktail hour and enjoyed walking around the garden. Sunken Gardens has a full staff that is ready to ensure your day is perfect. This venue was affordable and impressive.

  Perfect Venue for Intimate Wedding

  Sunken Gardens was the most perfect, beautiful venue for our intimate wedding. Our guests are still talking about how lovely the venue and the staff were! Stacey was beyond amazing - communicative, professional, and patient when I asked a million questions. The day was truly perfect and we were so grateful to be married in such a beautiful garden!

  The Most Magical Venue!

  Stacey and Sarah were such a pleasure to work with and are incredible at what they do! We had to reschedule a couple of times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and they were both very accommodating and understanding, which made much of our planning stress-free. They were both very responsive and professional and had great recommendations for other vendors. The planning was seamless—they provided all of the necessary information and were flexible based on our requests. It was also the most affordable venue around for our vision and the price even included tables and chairs with an added-on bar package to eliminate extra vendors! The coordination the day of was perfection—everything was taken care of without being noticed and we had the wedding of our dreams without any problems whatsoever. Words really can't express how grateful I am for the team at Sunken Gardens. I appreciate you all so much! Thank you for everything!

  Dream Wedding!

  I don't even know where to begin. We got engaged in April 2021 and immediately started looking at venues for a late-2021 wedding. We were sold on another location, but decided to check out Sunken Gardens. We'd only ever been there as kids, but it ended up being a huge YES for us. What a gem! Not only is it beautiful, but it's incredibly affordable when compared to other wedding venues, and they have so many options to choose from. We also liked that they provided the tables and chairs, so there's no need for an additional vendor. Our all outdoor soiree was everything we'd dreamt of, and more!
  
  Stacey was our event coordinator. She was very sweet and quick to respond to the millions of questions I had. Sarah helped us coordinate our bar package, which was also surprisingly affordable (seriously, the least expensive in St. Pete unless you book a BYOB venue). There was a small price change between the date we signed the venue contract and the date we signed the bar contract, and they were kind enough to accommodate the old pricing for us. We ordered 8 bottles of champagne (not included in the normal bar pricing) and didn't use any of them and I was completely shocked when they offered to refund the money for the unused bubbly.
  
  On the day of our wedding, they were there for us when we needed them, but otherwise, they were in stealth mode. They somehow managed to ensure everything was taken care of without being noticeable. It was a huge production without really feeling like there were a ton of people running around.
  
  I also changed my dress 3 times, the last change right as they were ready to lock the gates, and they allowed me the time to do so without rushing us out. I'm forever grateful for that!
  
  We can't say enough great things about this amazing venue and their staff. Our day was perfect and we owe a lot of that to the people at Sunken Gardens. Thank you!!

  Highly recommend!!!

  We just had our wedding at the Sunken Gardens this past weekend. It was beautiful, unique and truly perfect for my husband and I. I can’t believe we had the whole gardens to ourselves so guests could wander around during cocktail hour. Everyone at the venue, especially Stacey Fuqua, was great to work with through the whole process of wedding planning. Look no further, if you want your wedding or event to be remembered.

  Excited to get married at Sunken Gardens!

  Sunken Gardens was our first choice for a wedding venue and I'm so excited to exchange wedding vows with my future husband in 2021. Sarah helped show us the venue space and provided details and options for ceremony, cocktail, and reception areas. Sunken Gardens is absolutely stunning and provides a home away from home feel for those who would love to get married somewhere tropical!

  Beautiful, reasonable priced venue

  Sunken Gardens was exactly what I had envisioned for our small ceremony. The scenery was beautiful. The venue staff was extremely helpful and kind, and everything went seamlessly.

  Amazing Wedding Venue

  Best decision we made by getting married at sunken gardens! Love the history behind the gardens and they are truly magical! We got married on the North Lawn. The grounds are beautiful and romantic, great for pictures! The staff was so kind and professional to work with. Our wedding day went smoothly. Highly recommend this venue!

  Perfect Venue!

  I fell in love with the Sunen Gardens immediately, the tropical garden feel is so romantic and just stunning in photos. Being from Florida, we knew we wanted to make the most of this area, but a beach wedding just wasn't out thing. We LOVED Sunken. The team there is amazing, so helpful, responsive, and they know how to make sure the wedding runs smoothly. We had our wedding on the wedding lawn in February and it was gorgeous. Our reception was upstairs in the garden room, and it was all perfect. Highly recommend!!

  Best Decision I ever made!

  Having my wedding at Sunken Gardens was the best decision I ever made. The gardens are absolutely breath taking and can really make a wedding elegant. I got married in the North Lawn and it was absolutely gorgeous. My cocktail hour was in the oak pavilion and reception was held in the garden room.
  Stacey was my coordinator and she was fantastic! She answered all my questions and responded right away. For the price, I got so much more than I ever imagined at Sunken Gardens. I loved the fact that I got the whole gardens with my wedding package. My guests loved it and I’ve been told multiple times my wedding venue was one of the most beautiful ones they’ve been too.
  I also love the fact that there’s an option to have a brick engraved with whatever you choose. My husband and I got a brick engraved with our new last name and wedding date. It was the perfect touch to our wedding and it was placed right where we said our vows. It’s a memory we can cherish forever when I visit the gardens. They even allowed me to have my fur babies at my wedding ceremony and that was a HUGE must for me. They were very accommodating! I highly recommend Sunken Gardens as a wedding venue!!

  Sunken Garden was my perfect dream Wedding

  Sunken Garden and their team was seriously amazing! I couldn’t have ask for better people to work with like Stacey and Sarah, and couldn’t have ask for a more stunning and beautiful venue. All my guests for in awe on how beautiful the gardens are, and all the places to take photos are amazing!

  Most Magical Wedding Venue

  The most magical place for a wedding!
  
  
  The venue speaks for itself in how gorgeous it is. From the moment my finance and I stepped foot onto this serene piece of heaven we instantly knew this was our perfect spot for our magical fairy tail wedding. And we signed the dotted line that day! We knew we wanted an outside garden wedding and this was it!
  Sarah, Stacey and the whole Sunken Gardens team did an OUTSTANDING job from start to finish.
  Our ceremony was in the North Lawn, our cocktail hour was under the Oak Pavilion, and our reception was outside in the garden under the most perfect big white tent.
  We were going for that "secret garden/fairy-tale garden" look-and-feel and that is exactly how it turned out. We live right here in lovely Saint Petersburg, so we were able to visit multiple times before our wedding day so I could truly plan and picture where things would go, The girls helped with all of my unanswered questions and their were A LOT.
  I was a VERY overwhelmed bride at times and would show up at their office with a question and both Stacey & Sarah would always reassure me that everything was going to be PERFECT and that it was.
  They went above & beyond keeping me sane and answering & helping me with so many questions and for that I am forever grateful but what they really did was keep this bride from a total melt down with their support and how professional they both were. All while having fun and making me laugh too! We had such an amazing experience with everything from our rehearsal well so well organized and detailed & our magical wedding day well it was PERFECT
  We made a life time of memories with our family & friends it was a PERFECT VENUE and the history behind this hidden slice of heaven is timeless..
  We bought a keepsake block without names & wedding date, I see my husband & myself going to Sunken Garden a lot on special occasions and walk through memory lane…hand & hand. It was such a romantic, fun, beautiful and simply teacupful place to say I DO surround by spectacular greenery, palm trees, flowers, butterflies, fountains, animals, nature honestly how could you not get married or have any kind of occasion here.
  Our guest were overwhelmed with the beauty of the garden and are still talking about how amazing everything was. We did hire great vendors too that helped very very much too!
  We highly recommend Sunken Gardens & Give their staff and property a 5 star rating across the board! Thank you all so much
  A very happy bride & groom

  We were going for that "secret garden/fairy-tale garden" look-and-feel and that is exactly how it turned out. We live right here in lovely Saint Petersburg, so we were able to visit multiple times before our wedding day so I could truly plan and picture where things would go, The girls helped with all of my unanswered questions and their were A LOT.
  I was a VERY overwhelmed bride at times and would show up at their office with a question and both Stacey & Sarah would always reassure me that everything was going to be PERFECT and that it was.
  They went above & beyond keeping me sane and answering & helping me with so many questions and for that I am forever grateful but what they really did was keep this bride from a total melt down with their support and how professional they both were. All while having fun and making me laugh too! We had such an amazing experience with everything from our rehearsal well so well organized and detailed & our magical wedding day well it was PERFECT
  We made a life time of memories with our family & friends it was a PERFECT VENUE and the history behind this hidden slice of heaven is timeless..
  We bought a keepsake block without names & wedding date, I see my husband & myself going to Sunken Garden a lot on special occasions and walk through memory lane…hand & hand. It was such a romantic, fun, beautiful and simply teacupful place to say I DO surround by spectacular greenery, palm trees, flowers, butterflies, fountains, animals, nature honestly how could you not get married or have any kind of occasion here.
  Our guest were overwhelmed with the beauty of the garden and are still talking about how amazing everything was. We did hire great vendors too that helped very very much too!
  We highly recommend Sunken Gardens & Give their staff and property a 5 star rating across the board! Thank you all so much
  A very happy bride & groom

  Beautiful venue!

  It was absolutely beautiful the day of our wedding! We held our ceremony on the North Lawn. The staff made it go flawlessly. I'm so glad I had their help to coordinate our flower delivery and violinist, I would not have had time to do everything myself! They had everything set right on time, but were flexible if we needed a few extra minutes. Overall they were very helpful and we loved the gardens!

  Dream Wedding

  Our wedding couldn't have gone more perfect! This was a beautiful venue for a wedding. The pictures after the ceremony turned out fabulous. The park was open to visitors, but never felt packed or uncomfortable taking pictures.

  Such a beautiful place!

  We were so happy with our decision to book with Sunken Gardens. The coordinators made it easy for guests to get where they needed to go and everything ran smoothly. The wedding lawn was gorgeous and we had so many compliments from our vendors and our guests on the venue. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting an affordable tropical wedding!

  Simply beautiful

  We were looking for an outdoor ceremony and reception, something with lots of flowers and green. This place was absolutely perfect!! The garden where we got married was beautiful and the areas for the cocktail hour and reception were as well. We had the last two at night and they had the hanging lights from the trees... it was simply breathtaking,

  Sunken Gardens is Beautiful!

  Sunken Gardens was our dream venue. It does book up fast so if you want to have your wedding there try not to wait too long. We ended up having ours on a Sunday which was really nice and actually qualified us for a discount. Cocktail hour in the Oak Pavilion is dreamy with their strung lights and having the reception outside was pretty magical, too!

  Getting Married Under a Live Oak

  We were very happy with our choice to get married at Sunken Gardens. We had a morning ceremony underneath the live oak tree which was an amazing place to gather our family and backdrop for our ceremony. Everyone there was great to work with and we had no problems during the process at all. Its also great that everyone gets to wander around before/after because its built in entertainment!
