Kelsey L. Married on 17/09/2022A Dream Wedding
I honestly may run out our space if I write everything but I will try my best to summarize.
There is not one negative thing I could say about the Royal Botanical Gardens! We had our ceremony in the Rose Garden tent and our reception in the Auditorium with 125+ guests.
I knew I wanted my wedding at RBG. So much so, we didn't even look anywhere else. They were amazing from day one to provide us with answers to every question we had, especially during the uncertainty of planning a wedding during the pandemic. Our wedding coordinators were fantastic at addressing any concerns and changes we wanted to make.
We went with the Botanical Package and the food and wine options were top-notch - a real gourmet experience. Our guests loved having a meal selection, especially the vegetarians!
Everything was PERFECT - the décor, the meals, the serving staff, the coordinators (day-of and leading up to), etc. It was a dream come true. Our guests especially loved every aspect and gave so much praise to the beauty of the venue.
If you're still looking for a breathtaking venue that will produce the most gorgeous backgrounds for your wedding photos, this is the place!
Thank you RBG and staff for everlasting memories - truly a dream come true!-

Jigisha P. Married on 19/08/2022Wouldn't recommend to brides-to-be
We decided to go with RBG when we visited the venue shortly after we were engaged in August 2021. We had 2 ceremonies planned because my partner and I are from different cultural backgrounds. It took them almost 2 months and repeated emails to respond to us with a clear answer as to whether we would be able to have both ceremonies and reception in the Rock Garden. They responded back (2 months later) with a quote of 8k extra if we were to have both in the same space. This should have been the first indication of how things are run with RBG. We ended up choosing to have the ceremonies in the Rose Garden Tent and reception in the Rock Garden.
From start to finish, RBG was my biggest stressor with wedding planning. Their response times were abysmal, with lack of preparation for meetings on their part. We had been quoted a certain amount for harvest table rentals which they tried to increase by about 50% in the lead up to the wedding. Prior to this we had to repeatedly ask for a final price estimate which I now realize they seem to delay on purpose to hike up prices. I wouldn't personally blame any single person but I would say the event department does seem badly managed.
On the positive side, working with the ceremony coordinator Amanda Horvat was lovely. She is very organized and helped everything move smoothly.
All in all, our wedding day was wonderful because I hired a wedding coordinator to smooth the processes of the day.

Married on 29/08/2020such a dream
The RBG was our dream venue! The gardens speak for themselves. But the staff - they are one in a million. Emily and Brookelyn did everything they could to make us feel special and well taken care of on our day and everyday leading up to it. They took all the uncertainty with covid in stride and made us feel secure in all the decisions being made. We didn't need to think about one detail, they did all of that for us. The day was nothing short of perfect. -

Robin and her team went above and beyond to ensure our day went well. They were always there to answer any questions and put our minds at ease. The catering staff was very friendly and worked very hard. We are so thankful and happy we chose such a stunning venue as RBG for our big day. -

Alex J. Married on 29/06/2019Lots of Compliments on the look but we are very disappointed
There is far too much to say about the disappointment with my venue so I will try to summarize. It looks stunning. We payed for a premium package and spent tens of thousands of dollars here on catering and venue rental. The communications with the venue prior were atrocious and confusing. They don't respond for weeks and when they do it's the wrong answer. I could never get a hold of anyone. At the tasting the food was amazing but on the day everything was overcooked. We paid for mashed potatoes and got roasted instead. We had a few guests tell us they were quite certain they WATERED DOWN the hard liquor at the open bar. The atrium was FREEZING like a refrigerator. They told us there was nothing they could do because they had to keep it cold for the trees. They knew well in advance I was having a photobooth but when they showed up on the day of, no one knew where it was supposed to go. They could never give me any information on the actual details so I missed out on planning a lot. I was trying to put together signature drinks and no one could even tell me what liquor or bar mixes were available to us to make recipes. So very disappointed, especially for the insane amount of money we forked over. They don't care about you at all. -

Katie O. Married on 29/09/2018Wonderful Experience
Robin, Deanna and their teams were absolutely wonderful to work with. We had a specific vision for our wedding to be a celebration of both of our cultures and they were able to make that happen. Our friends and family are still talking about how much they enjoyed the food!Royal Botanical Gardens's reply:
Hi Katie, on behalf of RBG, it was my pleasure to help you plan your special day!
I wish you and Robb many years of happiness, maybe we will see you around in the gardens now that you have a membership.
Don't forget, we do baby showers too! LOL
Take care -

Sue G. Married on 22/06/2018Beautiful venue. Amazing staff
I have to start by saying Brooklyn and Robin played a big part in making our wedding wonderful. Brookly’s energy is just what I needed to ease any jitters I had that day.
The gardens are absolutely beautiful and with the renovations they recently have made it picture perfect.
Royal Botanical Gardens's reply:
Hello Sue,
Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words about us here at Royal Botanical Gardens. You and Ezra are truly a remarkable couple and such a pleasure to work with. We were so pleased that we could share in this special day. We want to wish the two of you a life time of happiness as you embark on your next chapters.
Sincerely,
Robin Calder and Brookelyn Archer
