We LOVED having our wedding at the Ruth Bancroft Garden! The venue is beautiful, and was such a cool place for guests to explore during the event. There are amazing cacti and desert plants everywhere, and it made for really lovely photos as well. We loved the indoor/outdoor vibe (we had our ceremony outdoors, and there are lots of spots to pick from; our dinner was inside which was great as it got a little cooler at night). The garden itself is just so stunning, so we didn't have to have a lot of florals or decor, since it was naturally beautiful.Also have to give a huge shout out to the venue team at Ruth Bancroft—every step of the way they were so responsive, helping us plan the layout of our dinner and answering every question we had. And during the event, they were also amazing. Tawny and her team were SO organized and set everything up for us without a hitch, including setting up all the table and chair rentals, and moving all the chairs to the reception area from the ceremony area. They were also so helpful in cleaning up—my partner and I were still seeing the last few guests out while the venue team and our coordinator cleaned and packed up everything for us!Would 1000% recommend the Ruth Bancroft Garden for anyone planning their wedding!

Hosting our wedding at the Ruth Bancroft Gardens was THE single best decision that we made during wedding planning. The gardens are stunning year round - our guests haven't stopped talking about how much they enjoyed the space. Given the size of the gardens, you can host different aspects of the wedding in different areas, which was also very popular with our guests. Photos turned out beautifully!Tawny was fantastic to work with - she provided tons of helpful suggestions while we were planning, was super responsive, and very helpful day-of. The venue policies are very reasonable. We were able to provide our own alcohol, which was a huge cost-saver. All around would recommend!

I originally booked my wedding venue with Heather Farm, which canceled on me due to a water pipe problem. And I’m so glad I found Ruth Bancroft Garden, because it’s just a much better choice (much more modern reception hall and much bigger garden with an Arizona feel to it). If you are based in the Bay Area and want a garden themed wedding, this is THE place! I had a small wedding with 36 guests and I couldn’t be happier on my wedding - everyone is so helpful and every detail is exactly how I want it to be. Twany and Julia are a dream to work with - I love love love how easy, professional and caring they are. RBG is the PERFECT wedding venue 💜

Our wedding was exactly what we dreamed of! Ultimately, we wanted something unique and non-traditional. When we came for a tour, we fell in love instantly with the lush plant life and serenity of the garden. The RBG events team worked directly with our coordinator and made everything so seamless! We were also able to bring in our own caterer which was very important to us. On top of the celebration, our guests had such a wonderful time exploring the garden, which was a huge bonus. If you're looking for a venue unlike any other, this is the one!
