Awarded Best of Zola
Lauritzen Gardens was the perfect venue for our daughter's bridal shower. The room we used was intimate and cozy, with a long table that was perfect for our small group. Our guests loved being able to explore the botanical garden after the event ended. In addition to plants, the facility has lovely art and architectural details and the food and beverage from the caterer was an excellent value. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting to celebrate this special occasion with our friends and family.
