Host to hundreds of flora and fauna, gardens in the Asheville area offer a beautiful backdrop for your big day. Whether by a brook or under a gazebo, say “I do” with a garden view. We typically use the Asheville Botanical Gardens because of their great location and beautiful landscaping, but are open to exploring others if you have something else in mind.
Weddings at Asheville Area Gardens can take place any day of the week. The latest a wedding can start is an hour before sunset, which varies seasonally. Asheville Area Gardens operating hours vary. You and your guests are welcome to stay at the gardens during normal operating hours, keeping in mind that they are open to the public so there may also be guests outside your party.
We know that every detail makes a difference. Check out our Asheville Area Gardens gallery for more shots of this special spot. Still have questions about this option? Find the answers on our FAQs page.
All Gardens packages are for 10 total guests (including the couple). Up to 20 additional guests may be added for $15/person.
