We wanted a nice intimate garden wedding where we could have an outside ceremony but an inside reception, because Florida weather. We also wanted to be able to enjoy the gardens as we particularly wanted a garden wedding and for the gardens to be part of the decor. Well the Sarasota Garden Club was perfect for us. It is small and intimate but beautiful. Their reception room has three glass walls that look upon the gardens and the doors and the doors open to make the inside outside garden experience seamless. It was just perfect for our Spring wedding in March. Carol was easy to work with and always happy to answer our questions. The price was great, less than some of the larger gardens in the area but just as beautiful. We had our ceremony on the tropical garden patio which is a nice fenced off private area.

Read moreIn 2012 we hosted a wedding welcoming party here at the Sarasota Garden Club as most of our guests were from out of the area. At that time I was not in to writing reviews. Yes it has been 10 years but whenever I think of our daughter’s wedding the event at this garden club brings up some of my best memories of that weekend. The Sarasota Garden Club was a hidden gem that is cozy, fun and private to the point that you are not aware of the outside world.
