Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens Overview

Say “I do,” in New York’s quintessential outdoor setting at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. The Botanical Gardens is a national historic site full of exotic horticulture treasures from around the world. The living plant museum boasts a unique conservatory design based on the famous Crystal Palace in Kew Garden Palm House in England. Envision walking down an aisle of grass dotted with flower petals to a darling white gazebo and exchanging vows in a secluded garden ceremony space. You may also pledge your love in a soaring dome shaped greenhouse made entirely of glass that exudes romance and grandeur. The Gardens' Main Palm Dome will provide plenty of natural light to set the appropriate mood whether you want to exchange vows in an afternoon ceremony or in a ceremony at sunset. For a more whimsical setting, celebrate your ceremony against the charming natural backdrop of Greenhouse 10, one of our most versatile event spaces. In the case of ceremony and reception packages, you may look forward to a full evening of exploring your love and curiosity of the natural world by enjoying the entire conservatory for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing immediately following your ceremony.
