千媚宫AV

Thank you for your interest in holding your wedding at the 千媚宫AV Horticultural Gardens. We are honored that you are considering having such a special event at our facility. Our gardens offer a unique and memorable setting for weddings. However, the nature of the Gardens as a teaching facility mean that there are some rules and regulations that apply to all special events at the Gardens. They are:

• Wedding ceremonies of 50 people or less take place in the Ceremonial Courtyard (Sir Walter Raleigh Garden). For larger ceremonies of 51-100, it will take place in The Green (just outside of Sir Walter Raleigh Garden).
• Chairs, an altar, etc., can be brought in the day of the wedding only. No tents, amplification equipment, etc. are permitted. Everything brought in must be removed within one hour of the end of the reserved period, the day of the wedding. We do not have staff available for set-up and break-down of chairs, etc.
• Any materials brought in to the wedding site must not block walkways. Walkways must be clear at all times before, during and after the wedding.
• No alcoholic beverages of any kind, i.e., champagne, wine, beer, spiked punches or liquor are allowed.
• Confetti, rice, bird seed, etc. are prohibited. The grounds and Gardens should be left in the same condition they were in when you arrived. 
• Flowers, plants, and benches must not disturbed or moved. Please insure that your guests treat the facility, especially the Gardens with care.
• Vehicles may not be driven on the Garden grounds for any reason. Cars should be parked in the designated parking lots.
• The facilities are available for weddings Monday-Saturday 8:00am-6:00 p.m (or dusk - time may be different depending on the time of year). We suggest that your wedding be scheduled at a time so as not to interfere with any instructional activities at the college (generally Saturdays will be the best to consider scheduling a wedding).

NO RESERVATION WILL BE CONSIDERED SECURED UNLESS THE RESERVATION FORM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AND A CONFIRMED COPY, SIGNED BY THE AUTHORIZED SANDHILLS HORTICULTURAL GARDENS RESPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE APPLICANT.

We suggest a 鈥淩ain or Inclement Weather鈥� back up plan for your wedding as we do not have the facilities to house an indoor wedding. If inclement weather occurs on your wedding day, you will be reimbursed.

 

Note: The G. Victor and Margaret Ball Garden Visitors Center and Gardens are open to the public before, during and after your event. Students will be completing curricular assignments during the weekend. No groups or group programs will be scheduled during the hours of your wedding. Questions or need for further information may be addressed at the above address, or by calling Marcia Woodfield at (910) 246-4949 or e-mail at woodfieldm@sandhills.edu.
