Wonderful 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

Beautiful 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

Amazing!!!
I had my wedding reception at the RBG in July of 2017 and I am so glad that it was suggested to us by a good friend! I would highly recommend this venue! It is beautiful!
Robin was amazing to work with and we emailed back and forth almost weekly it seemed. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Her and the team made my day so so special!
The food was amazing!!! We had nothing but compliments on the service and food itself! Because we did not want a traditional sit down wedding, my husband and I opted for a cocktail reception. There are so many options and packages you can build on which made it so easy for us! We had Hors d'oeuvres being served throughout the entire evening along with a taco and poutine station. These were definite hits with our guests!
Our pictures turned out beautifully and were so convenient as you have access to the gardens for the duration of your reception, as do your guests!
Another great aspect is you receive a one year membership to the RBG after your wedding!!!
I was extremely happy with how everything turned out and came together! It was such an amazing experience to plan my wedding with Robin and her team, and I could not have wished for a more beautiful day!!!!!

Coordinator was disorganized, didn't offer many options, pretty good price
We found that the botanical gardens offered some good options, but were low on flexibility around the date. The main coordinator (Robin) was really hard to work with and didn't take responsibility for her mistakes and blamed others when things went wrong. Also you have to do all set up and take down same day, so we had to stay after for HOURS with our whole group to take all our decor home, it was exhausting. And we couldn't bring our stuff too early in the morning and there wasn't really room for our deserts we brought in their fridge, causing them to melt. They just weren't very accommodating. Also you can't hang any of your decor on anything so forget twinkly lights. Otherwise, it was a nice space for a reasonable cost.

Rock Garden Rocked!
The Rock Garden was an amazing place to have our wedding. It was unfortunate that the doors will still open until 8pm to the public, as there were some public people walking around while we were getting photo's done, but otherwise once we were inside and the dinner started it was no problem at all! The service was great, the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the grounds and the beautiful atrium - it was a perfect place for a perfect day!
