From the reviews

My wedding went perfect! Everything that the venue was in charge was on point! I worked with Kristen and she did an amazing job! She responded to every email every question, I have nothing bad to say about this venue! The place itself is beautiful and was te best price I found for what I wanted!

The Candlelight concerts are wonderful!! The musicians are awesome!!! They are very talented, skilled, classically trained, and have a sense of humor too. Engaging and intimate, smaller venue. You need to experience this at least once in your life, more, if possible, if your budget or a splurge allows!!

★★★★★ — Shelley, Apr 2026

This was such a magical experience. I have been to so many venues of music. But the atmosphere of the group to the musician's was so intimate and you felt the music. From the greeter to the music to stepping out of the venue it was so great. Will definitely be back and will see more of there venues.

★★★★★ — Robert, Oct 2025

10/10 experience hosting our wedding at Azalea Lodge. The Dubsdread team made everything so easy for us from helping with our reception layout (shout out to Jerrica, she’s amazing), to a fantastic food tasting, to our butler Bob on the day of the wedding. It was almost too easy!

Getting married at Azalea Lodge at Mead Botanical Garden

Azalea Lodge at Mead Botanical Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
