South Coast Botanic Garden Weddings

South Coast Botanic Garden offers mixed ceremony and reception sites across 87 acres for celebrations from about 20 to 400 guests. Site options range from the Rose Garden and Garden Amphitheater (about 150) to meadows that can scale much larger depending on setup.

Unlike many garden venues, the Garden lets couples select from a preferred caterer list or bring their own vendor, with pricing beginning at $3,000 for the venue side. That outside-catering path matters if you need a specific cultural menu.

Start with guest count and catering rules before you fall for a meadow photo. Confirm which site matches your headcount and whether your preferred caterer is already on the list.
