What does the property attendant do?
The attendant represents the property and is there to make sure the property functions properly, bathrooms are stocked, etc. Due to liability and responsibilities, the attendant is not permitted to help clients unload, load, setup or breakdown your personal items.
Does the facility coordinate my wedding or event?
Celebration Gardens does not provide coordinating services for social packages or property rental only. A coordinator may be added for an additional fee. Celebration Gardens provides coordinating services with all wedding packages only.
What can I setup outside?
We don’t encourage real candles unless they are fully enclosed – they will just blow out or we suggest battery operated. We suggest using heavily weighted items with your table numbers, décor items, picture frames, etc. Be sure items are well attached to a weighted item (like a picture on an easel).
What time can I arrive?
Arrival time is strictly reserved for the exact time of your rental – guests or vendors are not permitted to enter or deliver early. Please advise your vendors of this. You can always rent additional time if needed.
What am I responsible for at clean up?
The property must be free and clear of all non- catering related trash and debris before leaving and be placed in a trash receptacle or in our trash dumpster. This includes all vendors hired by client. Any vendors hired by Celebration Gardens will clear their own trash. We take care of emptying the trash cans as needed. Failure to leave the property free and clear of all trash and debris will be considered a damage.
Can I play with fire?
Guests or clients are prohibited from touching the fire pit. Our attendant
will light the fire and replenish it as needed.
Where can I setup?
The main lawn is designated for ceremonies only, no other use is permitted without permission. Amplified music (audio system or DJ) is designated under the audio gazebo and facing south into the dance area and dance pavilion. Amplified music is not permitted in any other areas – no exceptions. Guest seating is designated inside the Dahlia Room or outside under the garden or main pavilions only.
Where can I have a smoke?
Smoking is only permitted in the rear of the property near the fire pit, on the front porch of the bridal suite (for client use) or outside the front or rear gates. Cigarette butts must be extinguished in our smoker urns.
How do I hang up something?
No penetration of our wood is permitted. We suggest command hooks, fishing line, floral wire or pre-existing hooks to hang items. Removal of client installed command hooks, fishing line or floral wire is required.
I want to eat inside the ready room house?
Guests are prohibited to take food inside the ready room. The client may have platter food available while getting ready only.
Can I party all night?
The city of Orlando has a 10pm noise ordinance. Amplified music must end promptly at 10pm – no exceptions. We are not responsible for any police demands on noise levels. We do have residential neighbors and noise levels must be respectable.
When can I schedule my wedding rehearsal?
Rehearsals can be scheduled at 30 days prior to the event date. Available days and times will be offered to the client to choose from. Celebration Gardens will not forgo rental bookings to schedule a rehearsal more than 30 days out.
Can I provide my own food and beverage including alcohol?
