From the reviews
A beautiful way to spend time with nature. Quite and beautiful is all one can say about the garden. It's a little over a mile walk around the lake and is set with different eras of Japanese cultural garden periods. The plants are native to Florida but chosen and developed to the Japanese style.
Getting married at Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens 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.
