From the reviews
Absolutely amazing experience. Best time to go when approaching sunset. They have neon lights throughout that really shine at night. They have places where you can get drinks and walk around. Multiple weddings when we went so got to enjoy their music while walking. Restaurant is on site too! Will defs be back
Getting married at Desert Botanical Garden
Desert 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.
