Founded in 1891 and now a National Historic Landmark, the New York Botanical Garden is one of the most iconic wedding destinations in New York. With its expansive grounds and seasonal beauty, it creates an unforgettable setting year-round — from spring roses in full bloom and the sound of the Bronx River in summer, to autumn foliage and winter’s snow-dusted landscapes.
Couples can choose from three distinct venues within the Garden. The Garden Terrace Room has been completely redesigned, offering floor-to-ceiling windows, sparkling chandeliers, and a luminous modern ambiance. A tented terrace just outside extends the celebration into the gardens, surrounded by bursts of seasonal color.
The Lillian and Amy Goldman Stone Mill offers a more rustic atmosphere. Set along the river’s edge, with stone walls and reclaimed wood floors, it combines historic character with contemporary comfort. The outdoor terrace overlooking the Bronx River provides a serene and natural backdrop.
For an intimate gathering, Hudson Garden Grill is the Garden’s first full-service restaurant, designed by award-winning architects Bentel & Bentel. With its walnut bar, open kitchen, and relaxed seating, it offers a refined yet welcoming space for smaller weddings.
With three unique settings, the New York Botanical Garden seamlessly blends natural beauty with city sophistication, making it one of the most versatile and romantic venues in New York.
