Ventnor Botanic Garden

We fell in love with the venue before we even saw it in person, and when we could visit we knew it was perfect for what we wanted. During the course of planning our wedding, VBG were experiencing a change in their wedding coordination team. This meant we had 3 different wedding coordinators across the planning process, however our final coordinator Lera was PHENOMENAL. She took charge of the process and ensured all of my very specific questions were answered in detail. On the day, Lera was fantastic, and made sure everything ran without a hitch! After the wedding day was over, my MOH informed me that the music I had provided for the ceremony hadn't worked, but Lera had sorted it all without raising any concerns, and it ran so smoothly my husband and I didn't even notice! The food provided by their on-site chef was exceptional - we asked for a custom menu, using none of the sample menus, and they were able to cater for this! We had individual strawberry trifles for pudding, and were particularly impressed with the presentation in mason jars, not to mention the amazing flavours they had. VBG allow you to decorate the venue however you like, and are on hand to support with this. We worked with external suppliers and Lera coordinated with them to arrange arrival times and delivery locations. The venue is also ideal for photographs - we had a November Wedding and we were still able to take pictures outside. We could not recommend this venue more, as we really did have the best day of our lives!

We had the best wedding at ventnor botanic gardens Lera was excellent in organising and ensuring all our requirements were met and making the day as special as we’d hoped The in house catering was brilliant and the venue was perfect. We would highly recommend botanical gardens as a venue! Very fairly priced too for everything we got

VBG turned out to be the most stunning venue we could have chosen for our wedding. Initially, our first wedding coordinator was fantastic, but after he left, communication became difficult for a few months. Eventually, we were introduced to a new coordinator, and I was a bit nervous before our first meeting. However, when Lera walked in, she immediately put me at ease! She was exactly what I needed, and from that point on, communication was excellent. Lera was always available to offer advice, answer questions, and guide us through every step. The wedding day itself surpassed all our expectations. We held the ceremony in the NZ Garden, enjoyed a drinks reception in the Palm Garden, and had a marquee set up by the restaurant for our wedding breakfast. The DJ set the perfect vibe with an Ibiza-style rave at the outside bar in the Fountain Courtyard. A huge thank you to Lera for making our day so unforgettable!

We had an amazing wedding here, we were from the mainland and the communication was pretty good, mostly emails but we did have phone calls aswell and they were really responsive. Antony was brilliant and so accommodating. We did change our guest numbers and they were absolutely fine with it. The food was amazing and the mocktail was divine. It did rain on our day but the view was still so beautiful even in the rain! We got some fabulous pictures especially through the tunnel which we got as much access to as we wanted. Amazing wedding!

We had the best day for our wedding, the weather was gorgeous and the gardens were just amazing. We had a ‘garden party’ vibe for the day and it was just so easy and relaxed. No stresses on the day and all the staff were so helpful and on hand for everything.

We couldn't have been more delighted with our wedding experience at the Ventnor Botanical Garden. Not only was the venue incredibly beautiful, but the wedding team led by Antony, made the event a pleasure to organize, even from our hometown of Sydney (Australia!) In particular, Antony went out of his way to ensure we all had the most perfect day. He was so relaxed about everything, which enables us to relax and enjoy our day. Additionally access and management of suppliers was straightforward and we had plenty of time in advance of the event to decorate the marquee and gardens as we wanted. Could not recommend more highly. Thank you Antony and team. We had the very best day!

I am a supplier, I have DJ'd at many venues across the island. VBG has always been one of my favourites. The way it is set up it feels like you are in a hidden garden away from the rest of the world. No other venue can offer this unique experience. Although I rarely speak in depth to the staff and management, I have always heard fantastic things from the happy couple. I cant wait for my next event here.

We arrived by helicopter, something that my dad had arranged with the garden as his wedding present. It was the most amazing experience on a midsummers day...it was like coming to the Med! We were made to feel like celebrities. Well impressed.

We planned a midweek reception at this beautiful venue and had the most amazing day, Everything was perfectly executed and on time, The whole event ran like clockwork, stunning location - oh and the tunnel walk to the cliff ledge, make sure that is included in your photos! Thank you for everything you did for us both and our guests........unforgettable!

Our son and his beautiful bride chose the Botanic gardens at Ventnor for their wedding. We had a magical day. Tom and his team worked so hard to make everything perfect for us all. Everything about it was amazing. There cannot be a more wonderful place to be married.
