From the reviews

I had my wedding at The Greenhouse this May and let me tell you it was wonderful!! We had a wedding of about 175 and fit so comfortably with room for a dance floor and a bar. Lauren, who assisted us with our whole wedding process from booking the venue to day of set up is absolutely AMAZING!

★★★★★ — Hannah, Jun 2019

We had our wedding reception on these grounds after a service at Ogden Dunes Community Church. We got to the reception after the guests because we were shooting wedding photos at the church. When we got to Zao, we thought nobody came to the reception. Once people saw we were there, they came out from everywhere.

★★★★★ — Nat, May 2018

I drive by Zao and go there quite often. During this time I have experienced the growth and development of the building; which came to be the “Greenhouse.” A building for weddings, receptions and events of all kinds. Not to mention just the general atmosphere of Zao itself. Once completed, I had to check it out.

★★★★★ — Dakota, Aug 2018

If you are looking for a beautiful venue for your ceremony and/or reception along with a cocktail hour that is one you will NEVER forget, you want to book The Greenhouse. The venue managers/coordinators will go above and beyond to make your day perfect.

Getting married at The Greenhouse Event Pavilion

The Greenhouse Event Pavilion 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.
