    Dream wedding location!

    The Botanical Gardens was the perfect location for our smaller, intimate wedding ceremony (~70 guests). Morgan made sure our rehearsal and ceremony went perfectly, and everything went exactly as expected. The Gardens team was great at accommodating day-of changes due to weather and were very knowledgeable about great photo locations for our first look and group/family photos. Would highly recommend!

    10/10 recommend!

    I cannot say enough good things about having a wedding at the botanical gardens. From the moment we met AmyRae, she walked us through everything from start to finish. During covid, she was honest about how everything would be and kept it real with us the entire time. That was incredibly important since we were hearing horror stories about other venues during the year. They were continuously accommodating and very understanding with everything happening, and wanted whatever we wanted while giving us multiple options of how to keep our wedding day as normal as possible. And it was everything we could have asked for and more. I will endlessly recommend the gardens for any event, they are so genuine with their customers and strive to ensure any event is above and beyond of what is asked. Any questions I had, AmyRae was there to answer them right away! And the pictures you’ll get at the gardens are absolutely breathtaking!!! Thank you for being a part of our day and being a huge help with making our wedding day perfect!

    The gardens were beautiful for a wedding ceremony!

    The Botanical Gardens was a beautiful place to have our wedding ceremony. We decorated with flower petals going down the aisle and flowers on the structure. We were originally supposed to have our ceremony in June 2020, but it was rescheduled to October 2020. Amy Rae was easy to work with and helped us with our changes. Our wedding was originally supposed to be on a Saturday and when it was moved to a Sunday (due to vendor availability) they had me sign a new contract where I paid a lesser amount due to having the ceremony on Sunday. They did a good job with the rehearsal the day before, and it was nice knowing that if weather did not cooperate, we could have our ceremony indoors. It was cool that guests had the opportunity to go inside to the gardens after our ceremony. We got beautiful pictures on the grounds of the Botanical Garden and inside.

    Staff was very organized and made the wedding stress for my husband and I. We no longer live in buffalo, so staff was able to ensure everything would go smoothly and reached out to the cater and Dj. Everyone worked as a team

    Beautiful Gardens

    The gardens were amazing! The staff was so friendly and easy to communicate with, and the entire grounds were beautiful! We had our wedding July 6th,2019 and yes it was warm, but it was beautiful! We rented out the entire grounds, so our guests could walk around and view the different species of plants and flower they had. Unfortunately it had rained, so our idea of the gazebo ceremony did not come to fruition, however they more than accommodated us and our guests in house 10. Bonus of this venue is you do not have to decorate much! They have all the up lighting needed, as well as twinkle lights in house 10, and other fixtures,

    Wonderful experience!

    I had my ceremony at the Botanical Gardens this past weekend and it was amazing. AmyRae was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and she was organized, supportive, and calm on the day of. She was also quite accommodating when some of our guests were a little late and she helped us make a good decision about how to make the ceremony run smoothly without being too delayed. The venue itself was also quite gorgeous, as all of the spring flowers were out. AmyRae and her team also did an excellent job decorating for my event. I have absolutely no complaints and recommend this venue without any hesitation.

    We had visited the Botanical Gardens before getting engaged, and thought it would be an ideal non-traditional wedding venue. Communication with our event coordinator, Christina, was always prompt easy, and she was very professional and knowledgeable. The venue was beautiful, and all of the staff there were helpful and readily available. We had both the ceremony and reception there, and it could not have been more perfect!!

    Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens's reply:

    Hi Erin! We are so happy to hear that you loved our standout venue and had a great experience with our coordinator. Congratulations on your wedding!

    My ceremony at the Botanical Gardens was absolutely wonderful. Christina and Julie were a pleasure to work with, super helpful, and made sure everything was perfect and went smoothly. They took care of everything, which was a huge relief to us. There was also an indoor option had the weather been bad that day, which gave us piece of mind !

    Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens's reply:

    Hi Rachael! We know that outdoor weddings can be stressful with the concern of bad weather. We love knowing that we can offer the option of a beautiful outdoor space along with the security of having a backup option. We are so glad that you had the perfect day!

    We are so glad to have our wedding ceremony and reception at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens! It's an absolutely amazing and beautiful venue. The guests can wander around the gardens throughout the night. We love having the option to do the ceremony either indoors or outdoors.

    Julie has been wonderful throughout the process. She's the most responsive vendor and tirelessly answered my neverending list of questions over email before I even committed to the venue as I was planning my wedding from the west coast. She was very organized, has great attention to detail, and on top of everything at all times. She worked with my wedding planner to make sure everything is accounted for. She and the team at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens really executed flawlessly on the day of. I'm truly impressed with how organized she was and the level of details she provided to keep us at ease throughout the planning process. Thank you Julie & team!

    We highly recommend the Botanical Gardens to anyone who's looking for a wedding venue!

    Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens's reply:

    Hi Tonia! Its fantastic to hear that you and your guests enjoyed exploring our unique venue, and felt that the planning process was executed flawlessly. We love to know that your wedding at the gardens was everything you hoped it would be.

    Julie from the gardens was an absolute joy to work with. We were planning the wedding from out of state and she had to handle communication from me AND my mother-in-law. No time for a dress rehearsal, and the day was perfect. Thanks Julie! 10/10

    Having our wedding at the Botanical Gardens has always been my dream and Christina really helped make that dream come true. We happened to catch the open house and it helped win my husband over on the location. Everything was beautiful and Christina was amazing. She was always easy to contact and quick with an email response. Everything turned out beautifully and ran smoothly. I only wish that some parts of the gardens hadn't been closed but what can you do right?

    We had our ceremony here in late August and it was beautiful. I was able to customize my own music. The ceremony was outside in the gazebo. The staff was very helpful and accomadating.
