Weddings in the Garden

San Diego Botanic Garden is San Diego County’s location of choice for your uniquely picturesque and
memorable outdoor wedding or reception.

With a mild year-round climate, the Garden offers a variety of garden settings for your event, from our large Gazebo Lawn Garden to our intimate Waterfall View Deck and secluded Walled or Lawn House Gardens.

The Garden is an absolutely breathtaking place and we both feel so lucky to
have been able to get married there.
