Wedding and Special Event Guidelines (Evening Events)
- The rental fee covers only the facility for evening events. Your caterer must bring in the tables, chairs, linens, food & beverage etc.
- For weddings and special events that take place in the evening: The Wildflower Center is open to the public until 5:30pm. You may start moving into the gallery at 5pm and the courtyard at 5:30pm. This includes caterer set up. We recommend you don't try to start your event before 6:30pm so the caterers have enough time to set up.
- Only vendors are allowed to park in the employee/volunteer parking areas at the Center. No other guests or renters are allowed to park in this area.
- The tables, wagons and other props that are used throughout the Wildflower Center are not available for use during special events. The tables and chairs that are on the courtyard patios may be used but cannot be moved.
- We do not allow any tenting at the Wildflower Center.
- All items that are brought into the Wildflower Center for weddings and special events must be removed that same evening. Items may not be stored on the loading dock or elsewhere on the property.
- Because the caterer is responsible for clean up, they may not leave the Center until all the guests have left and all vendors have removed their items.
- If you are holding a wedding rehearsal at the Wildflower Center the day before your wedding, it must end by 4pm so that we can book the Center for another event that evening.
- Animals are not allowed on the grounds of the Wildflower Center.
- The Wildflower Center has a list of contracted caterers. You must use one of the caterers on this list. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- You may purchase your own alcohol and have it delivered to the Center on the day of your event or wedding. All alcohol must be served by a licensed bartender provided by your caterer.
- All events must end by midnight and all guests must leave the property by that time. Clean up by the caterer and vendors may take place after midnight. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- We do not allow any open flames. All candles must be in containers that are flame retardant and catch the wax.
- We provide rooms for the bride and groom to change before the wedding. These rooms are available starting at 5pm on the day of the wedding unless other arrangements are made at the time the contract is signed.
- The maximum number of people the Center can accommodate is 250.
