Facilities and Capacity

Wedding sizes at Huntsville Botanical Gardens range from less than 20 up to 450 guests, depending on the package and event areas chosen by the couple. The nearly-weds can prepare for the exciting day ahead in the get-ready suites while their guests take in the expansive venue.

The venue boasts three outdoor ceremony areas:

• Celebration Garden
• The Meadow at Lake Lonnie

These spaces offer diverse views, from the tranquil lake to an elegant, chandelier-lit pergola, or a manicured lawn lined delicately with petals, giving couples a range of backdrops for their “I do’s.”

For larger celebrations, The Grand Hall is a spacious area with minimalist decoration and a large dance floor. The Carriage House welcomes guests to dance the night away under a beamed ceiling and exquisite chandelier, with carriage doors opening on either side. Nichols Arbor is the final reception space, fairytale-like with a grapevine-covered trellis. Each space can be tailored to suit the couple and their needs.
