What to Expect

Your rental time includes set up, ceremony, photos, and take down within your one hour reservation. The Lily Pond is an outdoor space, so we encourage couples to plan accordingly for weather and consider appropriate attire for guests.

If you are hosting your reception in the Visitor Center, that space may serve as a backup option in case of inclement weather. Please note that the room will already be arranged for your reception, and any ceremony would take place within your reserved reception time.

Restrooms are available inside the Conservatory near the Palm Dome. Access is limited to restrooms only during your rental time.

Seating and Setup

You may rent up to 50 white folding chairs through us for $8 per chair, which includes set up and take down. You are also welcome to arrange your own chair rental if you prefer.

Upon request, we can provide a table for a guest book or unity ceremony.
