Outdoor wedding ceremonies may get moved inside due to inclement weather which includes rain and/or freezing temperatures. 

Indoor wedding ceremonies please note the greenhouse temperature inside is typically 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the temperature outside. Greenhouse has fans for air circulation only (they do not cool nor provide much relief during hot summer months). There is no A/C inside the greenhouse. 

In addition, the greenhouse must close if the temperature outside is 90 degrees F or higher and if there is lightning within 10 miles of the greenhouse for the safety of staff and guests. In such cases, greenhouse staff would notify the wedding party and work on a plan to reschedule and/or find accommodations.

Wedding party may also choose to change the location of the wedding ceremony for reasons not listed above/personal preference. In such cases, please notify staff at least 48 hours in advance.
