I am so incredibly thrilled we decided to have our wedding at Palma Sola Botanical Park. From the first time we visited, we got such a good vibe from them. The park is absolutely beautiful, well-maintained and incredibly quiet. This location is DIY, which means you get the flexibility to pull together the event YOU want and they provide all of the information, answers and support you'd need along the way. For the price and beautiful location, it's definitely tough to beat. We're soooo happy with how the day turned out!
