I had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception at Boerner Botanical Gardens! I worked with Yvette and Cheyenne from Zilli Hospitality Group and it was a really great experience. ZHG has a system down that makes planning more simple/less overwhelming and outlines everything for you along the way. I found that extremely helpful and calming! On the big day, I got so many compliments on the stunning venue, the amazing staff, and the food! Specifically about the food, I even got a few “this was the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding before”! That attests to the amazing chef and staff! Everyone was extremely kind and helped me with whatever I needed. I truly had the best day ever! I highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our wedding at the Boerner Botanical Gardens! We held our ceremony in the fragrance garden and the reception in the ballroom. Everyone commented on how dreamy and beautiful everything was at the gardens and venue. Our pictures in the formal gardens made the day even more special. Our 90 degree day was hot, but the inside of the venue was a cool oasis.
Yvette and Cheyenne were great to work with! They were very communicative and transparent. We appreciate everything they did to help make our wedding the best day of our lives! -
My daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful at this venue! It was a crisp fall day, and the outdoor set-up and fall foliage provided a stunning backdrop for the ceremony! Zilli Hospitality Group was top notch. From the initial planning with Yvette to the final walk-through with Cheyenne, they ran a seamless production! As the mother-of-the bride, I was an active participant in the planning and the day of the wedding. Yvette helped me so much. I couldn’t have completed the set-up tasks without her. We have received so many compliments from the guests on the food catered by Zilli. The staff from set-up to servers to bartenders to clean-up were outstanding. I highly recommend this venue!
