OUTDOOR WEDDING CEREMONY IN SAN GABRIEL PARK – Georgetown, TX
The Gazebo.
The gazebo works well for wedding ceremonies. It has electricity and shade. The bride & groom are elevated which makes it easy for guests to see. And it works for any size wedding since guests are seated in chairs on the grass in front of the gazebo.
Recommendations:
*Though a little plain at first glance, the gazebo can be made beautiful with the addition of tulle, twinkle lights, and/or flowers.
*If you rent Georgetown Event Center, you will have a beautiful, climate controlled environment without bugs or wind where you can enjoy an evening of dining & dancing with your friends & family. Plus, you will have a back-up plan in place in case of rain and a place to get ready before your wedding.
For reservations: The gazebo can be reserved through the City by calling 512.930.3595 during business hours. Gazebo rentals start at $40. Chairs are not included. The exact price depends on if you are a Georgetown resident and how many guests you will have.
The Flower Garden (aka – “The Sunken Garden“)
If you dream of getting married in a flower garden, this is a great option for you IF you expect 50 people or less. Because this is a sunken garden, even 50 guests can be a tight fit. Also, there is no electricity or shade. That said, it’s a gorgeous setting for a small wedding ceremony.
Because this is such a small area, you will need to have your reception elsewhere. Georgetown’s Community Center is located adjacent to the flower garden. The facility books up very quickly so be sure to call (930.3595) exactly one year out from the day you want. Georgetown Event Center is another nearby option. It is less than a half-mile away and is surprisingly affordable. To reserve Georgetown Event Center, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 512.930.3535.

Nearby location for an indoor wedding reception: Georgetown Event Center is less than 4 miles away. Renting it allows you to have the outdoor ceremony you want with an indoor reception your guests will love. By having an indoor reception, you avoid having to worry about gusts of winds (which often reach 15-20 mph here in Georgetown), heat/ cold, keeping flies away from your food, or rain/ mud. Plus, it is much easier to dance on a dance floor than on grass!
