  • Dreamiest venue!!!

    Verified review

    The Fairmount Park Horticulture Center is the dreamiest venue ever with incredible food!! We received so many compliments on how much food we had all night long and how tasty it was. It’s extremely well run by an amazing team of people and we felt so taken care of all night. Everything was so on schedule and went according to plan. We were able to do so many walkthroughs throughout the planning process and the food tasting night was 10/10. I truly have no complaints about the venue or how the planning process went with the catering and venue leads.

    Stunning venue - the display garden is truly a one in a million place to get married. We initially planned to have our cocktail hour outdoors as we wanted to highlight the reflecting pool but unfortunately the weather didn’t permit - we had cocktail hour inside and it was still incredible. The whole team there was impressive and the food was truly delicious. My standards for wedding food are pretty low but it was excellent, and many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (and they’d eat it again if they could). The whole team was lovely to work with. So, so glad we got married here!!

    Our venue at the Fairmount Park Horticultural Center was absolutely stunning! From the moment we walked in to tour for the first time, til the time we left our reception every step of working with them was amazing. The setting was not only beautiful but the staff made us feel so welcomed. We couldn't have imagined a better place to commemorate our love. Special shoutout to Olivia and Nikki who made the experience making plans and building the menu so fun and easy! Great team 10/10 would recommend!

  • Gorgeous affordable venue!

    My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at the Horticulture Center in late June 2023 and it was such a magical experience. There are so many beautiful spaces to get married inside or outside and Bahiya will guide you every step of the way. She was so thoughtful, easy to work with, and answered our many, MANY questions. It’s important to note though that while Bahiya manages weddings at the Horticulture Center, she is not a day-off coordinator/wedding planner. Bahiya will make sure the spaces you need are open and ready for you, but you are responsible for set-up and clean-up of the chairs for the ceremony. We brought our own mic, speakers, and had the groomsman help with chairs. The Dixon room in the back was great for people to change before the wedding. The Horticulture Center is incredibly affordable for a ceremony. Highly recommend!
