it was so beautiful there. the flowers where so beautiful, the only issue i had was that there was another wedding before mine and mine was suppose to start at 5 and they where still there a little later,but other then that it was everything i ever imagined. it was sunny and warm and just wonderful

Garden was beautiful and definitely the right price! Only slight drawback was the responsiveness of contact there.

I always imagined myself getting married in a garden. Queens Botanical turned out to make the dream a reality. Since I wanted a small wedding, this location was the right one for me. It seats a maximum of 80 people, in which the first 20 are included in the $750 cost, and $2.00 extra per additional chair, and it's $25 for a microphone for the officiant. Clare Del Monaco was very helpful and able to answer all our questions. It was a bit difficult to get in touch with her at times, however. Also, you are not allowed to bring your own flowers to decorate the garden with. This was a bit of a challenge for me because at the time of rehearsal none of the flowers in the garden at bloomed yet. Additionally, by the altar there were smashed berries on the cement which made it look a little unclean. Overall, it was a beautiful and inexpensive place to hold my intimate wedding and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to pay too much for their ceremony. I did not have my reception here because to use the space alone was $2000.00 and I had to find my own caterer (which would have hiked the costs even more). Instead I held it elsewhere.

The QBG was great, I have no complaints. It served its purpose within my budget and provided a lovely location and backdrop for pictures. Clare DelMonaco the wedding coordinator is a pleasure to deal with, always responsive, professional and so sweet. Definitely recommend this location.

Queens Botanical Garden - Were my ceremony venue; all I can say is "WOW" they were great and the venue is amazing. They give you 3 1/2 hours of service including rehearsal time and for the small fee you'd think that you'd have to pay a tremendous amout of money. I totally recommend having your wedding and in any season.

Our wedding was amazing! Queens Botanical Garden was the perfect location for our wedding. The gardens was recently re-constructed. I loved the new additions to the garden from the brook in the Cherry Circle Lawn to the red terrace with seats and tables. I booked my ceremony and reception at the gardens for an outdoor wedding- 2 for the price of 1! Our ceremony took place in the wedding garden in a gazebo with the over look of a willow tree and a pathway crossing the bridge. We also got another hour for photos & video. For the outdoor reception, we rented out the Cherry Circle Lawn to enjoy the summer evening. We had amazing views of the brooks, ponds, and gardens for the pictures. The Visitor & Services Manager/Events Coordinator, Clare Del Monaco was amazing throughout our wedding planning. She coordinated and managed our timing from the ceremony to the reception. She also went out of her way to contact all the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. In addition, we were able to use the space under the red terrace for our cocktail hour. We also got an hour in the wedding garden for the day of our rehearsal. Our wedding was definitely the highlight of the year for our families & all of our guests! They loved every detail. We got so many compliments and raves throughout the day of our wedding. All of them agreed that it was the best wedding they've ever been to! I would highly recommend QBG to all brides for a one of a kind wedding!
