Garden - Wedding Venues

A garden wedding lets the planting do the work (a botanical collection, a glasshouse, a green amphitheatre) for couples who want flowers and foliage as the setting rather than something trucked in.

The garden venues we work with sit in and around the cities: a tropical glasshouse in central Lisbon, camellia gardens in Sintra, and the gardens below the Bom Jesus sanctuary in Braga.

What Defines This Venue Type

A garden venue is defined by living scenery (mature trees, botanical planting, glasshouses and lawns), so the ceremony is outdoors among greenery and the décor budget goes further. They lean romantic and intimate-to-mid-sized, and they shine in the warmer months.

The catch is the open sky: gardens are weather-dependent, so a covered alternative is non-negotiable, and several pair the planting with an indoor glasshouse or pavilion for exactly that reason. We build the fallback in from the start.

Faqs

What is a garden wedding venue?

A botanical garden, glasshouse or green setting where the planting is the décor: mature trees, flowers and lawns for an outdoor ceremony, rather than a blank room to dress.

What happens if it rains?

A covered alternative is essential, and several of the gardens we work with pair it with a glasshouse or pavilion for exactly that. We build the weather fallback in from the start.

Where are the garden venues?

In and around Lisbon, Sintra and Braga, a central glasshouse, Sintra’s camellia gardens, and the gardens below the Bom Jesus sanctuary among them.

What kind of garden wedding venues does Mary Me work with?

Green, romantic settings best suited to intimate and mid-sized celebrations. We steer you to the green setting whose planting and scale suit the day.
