Find answers to common questions about having your wedding ceremony and reception at The Florian Gardens. If your question is not answered here, please contact us.

How much time should I schedule between my wedding ceremony and reception?
If you are having both your wedding ceremony and reception at The Florian Gardens, you should plan no longer than one and a half hours between your wedding ceremony and reception. This allows enough time for a typical ceremony, receiving line, and some pictures, but not so much time that your guests start to get bored. If your wedding ceremony is off-premise, you will have to account for driving time. Our wedding coordinator will be happy to work with you on an individual basis to work out timing.

What happens if I have an outdoor garden wedding ceremony scheduled and it rains?
If you have booked both your wedding ceremony and reception at The Florian Gardens, we will do our best to move your wedding ceremony inside in the case of bad weather. If you have just your wedding ceremony booked with us, you are more than welcome to rent a ballroom as a backup in case of rain.

The Florian Gardens is located in close proximity to I-94, is the interstate noise a problem during outdoor wedding ceremonies?
Typically it is not an issue, and we do include a sound system with the garden rental fee. Our gardens are actually surrounded by earth embankments and foliage plants and trees, creating a small valley that blocks the vast majority of the highway noise. Feel free to stop by and see for yourself!

Will there be another garden wedding at the same time as mine?
The Florian Gardens can host up to three garden wedding ceremonies per day, but we do try to space those ceremonies apart by at least two hours.

When should I book my wedding?
We are currently booking wedding 12-18 months out. We suggest booking your wedding ceremony and reception venues early in your wedding planning, as many things will depend on your venue.

I heard that your facility books up quite quickly, is that true?
Saturdays are the most popular days for weddings, so they fill up quickly. We can host up to three garden wedding ceremonies per day, so be sure check our availability! Fridays and Sundays are also quite popular, and tend to be more readily available. Friday weddings are great, because you have all weekend to relax with friends and family. Sundays are also wonderful, because you get all weekend to prepare, and your guests may choose to take Monday off of work (and who doesn’t like to take Monday off!).
