Raleigh Rose Garden

I knew that I wanted an outdoor ceremony and absolutely love flowers so when I found out about the Raleigh Rose Garden, I was thrilled. This seems to be one of the few outdoor venues in Raleigh that offers a beautiful and natural setting and needs no additional adornment. You literally just throw up a few chairs and everything is set. I could not believe how affordable the garden was, either (~$300). I did have some issues getting in touch with the guy in charge of coordinating the weddings, but he has been replaced by a lady that seems much more on top of things. In the summer, you will need to be packed up and out of there by 5:30 / 6:00 to accommodate some of the outdoor plays they put on, but we were more than willing to work with them. The roses look phenomenal in May, but were still amazing for us on August 30th.
