For weddings during the Garden Season (May 26 - September 30, 2023 & May 24 - September 28, 2024), if there is good weather on the day of your wedding, you will have the option to move the ceremony outdoors to the Event Garden. Olbrich's Event Garden is beautifully landscaped with seasonal annuals and a dark wood pergola.
Please note that the Event Garden is a part of our outdoor public garden, so cannot be rented itself. It is not private and cannot be blocked off, but is an optional location to hold the ceremony on the day of the wedding. Other garden guests may pass by your wedding ceremony.
Please fill out the set-up sheet for the Atrium and return it to the Rental Coordinator no later than 7 days before your event. A set-up sheet is mailed to you along with the contract. Additional set-up sheets can be downloaded and/or printed below.
