| FEATURES OF THE GARDEN |
SMALL RECEPTIONS ONLY ( NO MORE THAN 40 GUESTS):
Coordinators can organize a small reception at the Gardens, or couples can arrange their own reception directly with
ourselves. Rosewood Gardens does not provide catering. This must either be organized through your coordinator,
self-catered, or provided by an outside caterer. No hard liquor (wine/champagne toast is O.K.). No smoking.
We have an indoor air conditioned area with full kitchen facilities, suitable for buffet style layout, or for simple cake/punch &
nut style receptions . (Catering/Standing space only - no seating). Two 8ft banquet tables, plus 4 ft cake/punch table are
available. Cutlery, plates, glassware, etc are not provided and must be supplied by whoever is catering. We can supply the
tablecloths if needed. Self catering is permitted.
Tables and chairs are located, on our adjoining lower outdoor deck area overlooking the gardens with seating for up to 30
people*. This area can be decorated to suit, however, care should be exercised when adding decor so there is no risk of
accidents and no damage to property. All decorations and trash must be removed prior to leaving the premises.
*If reception is quite informal, then more people can be accommodated simply by setting out additional chairs.

| This self-catered reception was organized by the bride and groom. Existing buff vinyl chairs were utilized, and they added their own decorations to the deck area. A "green" theme was adopted, and the whole effect was delightful. |
LARGER WEDDINGS UP TO 100 GUESTS
We are not able to accommodate receptions for over 40 guests, and therefore recommend an offsite facility for larger
weddings, or where couples simply prefer to have a reception with more amenities.
There are many excellent facilities close by the Gardens, and local Chambers of Commerce would be happy to supply you
with a list. See also Receptions in our Links section

Many great photo opportunity locations, including a 12 ft wide set of steps leading from the Butterfly Garden into the
partially shaded "Hummingbird Garden". These steps have proven to be a great favorite for photographers. We have also
held "couple only" wedding ceremonies there. To see more wedding photographs on our website click this link: Wedding
