Absolutely Stunning Venue, we adore the gardens! A few of our DJs have worked out here recently and the communication and staff from the venue was great, can't wait to work out here again!

This venue is beautiful but the people who run it and the whole experience to get married here was horrific. They are rude, have the most ridiculous rules and make what is supposed to be the best day of your life, a miserable experience. They went as far as to say we had to blow out our floating candles MID RECEPTION because it “goes against the fire guidelines” even though the fire Marshall and Chief of the fire department stated this was not the case. As beautiful as the grounds are, it isn’t worth the terrible experience. Brides beware and do NOT get married here!!

This venue was beautiful. We had our ceremony on the terrace. Truly a stunning place for a wedding. Such a unique venue and so so so beautiful. So lovely to have the ceremony space and reception hall literally steps away from each other. A little difficult to work with staff. I will admit that I made a lot of what they called “last minute” changes although they were made a little less than a month before the wedding. They were supposed to have the chairs set up on the terrace for the wedding, but they stated because I Made too many last minute changes and they were unable to set them up due to staffing issues. We found Lynn a little hard to work with; however, overall we had a beautiful venue.

Overall, I would recommend this venue as the venue is inherently gorgeous and there are a variety of areas to utilize for a wedding making this venue an incredible value for all you are getting out of it. The venue includes tables and chairs for portions of your event located in the ballroom or on the terrace which is convenient and a cost saver. The staff is very friendly and flexible. However, one of the downsides to the venue is that there is no outdoor lighting and, unless you bring in your own lighting, there is no way to enjoy the beauty of the venue and the terrace at night.

I would not recommend this venue at all. The staff at this venue are not equip for events of this nature. They lacked in communication throughout the whole process and added much stress to wedding planning . When I spoke to the Executive Director about the inappropriate behavior on my wedding day and he stated that he could address the issues and that I would be compensated but nothing happen. While the venue is very beautiful, I would not recommend having a wedding here.

Our experience with the gardens was absolutely amazing! (June 29, 2018) The space is breathtaking and Lynn was organized, responsive, super sweet, and very helpful on the day of! I have so many good things to say but I think the best way to convey how wonderful this venue is, is to share my experience with you. When I first visited, I was in AWE of how gorgeous this place is. Then after speaking with Lynn who couldn't be sweeter and more caring about our wedding and also realizing how reasonable the price is compared to other venues in the area even though this place was so beautiful and perfect, we pretty much immediately knew this was it. There is so much charm to this venue. It's hard to take it all in unless you're there and given a chance to walk around, so go visit! Once you book, the communication line is open and they are there to answer any questions in a timely manner.Our wedding was a fairytale – and that’s the word most of our guests chose when they raved about the wedding. It was just the most beautiful day! I’m not sure if people say this to all brides, but I cannot even tell you how many people have told me that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you to everybody at Paul J Ciener Botanical Gardens!

The staff was phenomenal! Lynn Adams made herself available by phone and email to myself and vendors throughout the entire planning process. She was super sweet, professional, organized, & detail oriented. Many of my vendors complimented her timely communication with them. The venue itself was beautiful. Our wedding ceremony took place in the \"tropical gardens\" portion of the venue, we had our cocktail hour on the patio, & reception in the ballroom which gave our guests three very different & beautiful experiences. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion.

After visiting a number of wedding venues in the Triad, we selected the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden because of the facility amenities and the staff! We wanted an outdoor wedding with an excellent rain plan, just in case, and the Garden provided that. Our wedding ceremony was held in the Tropical Garden and it was beautiful! Our family and friends enjoyed cocktail hour on the Patio Terrace overlooking the newly constructed Hourglass Garden and our reception was held indoors in the Ballroom, with a buffet dinner and dancing. We received numerous compliments from our guest about the facility and many of them are looking forward to visiting the Garden on their own in the future! They loved garden! \r \rKristen Jones, the Facility Rental Coordinator, did an excellent job! From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, Kristen was great to work with. About a month before our wedding we walked through space with Kristin to review in detail our Wedding Day plan, including the rain plan. Kristin also reviewed our vendor list and confirmed the arrival times with each vendor. The day of the wedding she was at the facility the entire day and always ready to help if needed! \r

The Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden was the perfect wedding venue for my traditional rustic wedding reception. It was absolutely beautiful with the ceiling of all wood and flowers in bloom on the amazing patio. The building is absolutly wonderful and was located across the street from a beautiful church!

Paul J. Ciener Botanical Gardens are an up-and-coming venue in the heart of the Triad. Though they are still small, the facility on property to have events in is absolutely gorgeous! \rAt the time of our wedding, they didn't have their own tables and chairs, but I believe they now have enough to seat 150. It's a wonderful venue and the staff that we worked with were all fantastic and super nice.
