Receptions

The outdoor setting beckons guests to stroll through the lush Butterfly Garden amidst the reflecting pool, babbling brook, winding paths and vibrant native plants and flowers.

Guests may visit the 8,000 sq.ft. Butterfly Conservatory and the indoor exhibit hall where a fascinating variety of insect species from around the globe are sure to captivate all audiences.

Dine on the glistening Emerson Lakeside Terrace and Pavilion. Four approved caterers offer a myriad of dining options, tailored to you specific wishes.

As dusk turns to evening, guests witness the garden's transformation into a twinkling wonderland of lighted statuary, a dramatic up-lit draped gazebo and torch-lined walkways.

From your private occasion's inception to its culmination, our professional Special Events Staff will ensure your affair runs seamlessly.
