From the reviews
We had our wedding here in May and were so happy with it. We worked with Denise who is the absolute best! The food is great, and there's tons of options to make the menu what you want. It rained a little the day of our wedding, and our ceremony moved inside.
We had the wedding of our dreams at the Botanical Garden. First of all, Denise was incredible to work with. We planned our wedding fairly quickly, and Denise made the whole process as stress-free and fun as possible.
PERFECT. Our wedding was the best night of our lives, and I am so happy we were able to celebrate our reception at the Pavilion of the Two Sisters. The food was INCREDIBLE. Let me say that again, the food was incredible. When we went to the tasting, we realized what a good decision we made with this venue.
A beautiful venue within the botanical garden. The location is normally only accessible via after paying for the botanical garden, however, there is a clear access point near the corner of Roosevelt Mall and Victory Ave. for special events. There are photos on Google Maps for event setups within the pavilion.
Getting married at Pavilion of the Two Sisters
Pavilion of the Two Sisters comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
