New England Botanic Garden Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is a garden wedding with a glass roof: two conservatories, a Winter Garden and acres of gardens in Boylston, looking out toward the Wachusett Reservoir and Mount Wachusett. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings at New England Botanic Garden.
A garden wedding under glass
From late May through early September the garden hosts weddings of up to 120 guests. Ceremonies take place in the Secret Garden, the Lawn Garden or the Limonaia conservatory, cocktail hour moves to the Winter Garden or the Great Hall, and receptions are held in the Orangerie, an eighteenth-century-style glass conservatory with a centered dance floor and soft white lighting overhead. Off-season dates are limited and capped at 80 guests. Every outdoor ceremony site has an indoor rain plan.
The garden's events team and its exclusive caterer keep the day running on time, so you get to spend golden hour in the gardens instead of watching the clock.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
Best photo spots at New England Botanic Garden
The Orangerie
Glass walls and ceiling, brick piers, palms and vines. Tucker + Nicole had their first dance here with every guest circled around the dance floor.
The conservatory ceremony
Tall windows, wood beams and big florals at the altar. Tucker and Nicole's guests were on their feet the moment they were pronounced married.
The garden terraces
Brick paths and planting beds right outside the conservatories make easy, close-by portraits.
The boardwalk
A wooden boardwalk through the woodland gardens, shaded and green even at midday.
The Winter Garden
An indoor garden room for cocktail hour, with soft lighting once the sun goes down.
The dance floor at night
Once it's dark the Orangerie glows, and the party fills the whole conservatory.
