Interested in adding a Reception?
Here Are the Options Available for the San Antonio Botanical Garden
Plan a Reception your own
Many couples plan receptions on their own at their homes, AirBnBs or simply make reservations at a restaurant. If you are having 20 guests or less this may be the best option for your own day. If you need any services, we can provide as little or as much as you need from table settings to additional hours of photography!
Dinner Reception at a Nearby Restaurant
The San Antonio Botanical Garden is very centralized closed to many great restaurants that have private rooms for your reception including La Paloma Blanca Mexican Cuisine, multiple restaurants at the Pear Brewery, and the many restaurants up and down Broadway Street the Garden is off of. Any of our reception packages (see below) can be performed at any of these restaurants.
Non-Meal Receptions
Everlasting Elopements offers smaller receptions for couples not wanting a traditional full reception with a sit-down meal. Best for those couples having small guest counts who would not likely dance we offer the following packages:
Micro-Receptions (Micro-Weddings)
Our micro-reception packages designed for small guests counts are perfect for those couples wanting all the aspects of a large wedding but slimmed down to better suit their smaller guest counts. Choose between these 3 levels :
1. Dinner Reception Only
2. Micro Reception
3. Traditional Reception
Exploring your Destination
The San Antonio Botanical Garden is just moments from downtown and is filled with perfect venues and backdrops to fulfill your wedding expectations. Consider dining right on the property with a lovely gourmet meal at Jardin. Don’t miss a visit to the Witte Museum, San Antonio’s premier museum of South Texas history, culture, and natural science. The San Antonio Zoo, Brackenridge Park, and The Japanese Tea Gardens are side by side and all wonderful ways to enjoy all that San Antonio has to offer. And of course, you must take advantage of the endless fun of The San Antonio River Walk. There are also many great eclectic places to stay nearby one being the Emma Hotel in the Pearl Brewery entertainment district!
Testimonials
We were so pleased to find [Everlasting Elopements], because we were on a budget and it was getting stressful planning the wedding on our own. I emailed them and after that, they took care of everything. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Our officiant Rev. Rene Esparza was very nice and his demeanor was warm and inviting. We have 4 children and we were able to include them in our vows and it was truly memorable.
The worst part for me was planning the wedding. Using Everlasting Elopement help me avoid all that because they took care of all that for me. It’s like a one stop shop, and being a person that’s new to the area it was a God sent. I didn’t have to find five different people to do five different things for just one wedding day. On my day I didn’t have worry about flowers or cake they pick that up for me & made arrangements for the photographer. It was exactly what I wanted EASY & reasonably priced.
Everlasting Elopements was perfect from the moment I called to find out more information. The Staff was able to answer all of the questions I had and reassured me that I should not be nervous, they will take care of everything. The beautiful of it all, I did not have to meet, or go to an office because everything was done electronically. To say the least, I was very impressed. The day of, it could not go more beautifully. Absolutely amazing!!!!!
How does it work?
Everlasting Elopements’ unique and simple virtual wedding planning system was built to simplify the wedding planning process. To keep the stress out of the process, we have a step by step system to plan your wedding ceremony from now to ‘I Do’.
It all starts with the ceremony package! Once you have selected this we can customize any extras and build on a reception package. Then we will help you select and book the perfect venue that fits your vision. Once you book, it’s just a matter of completing a few forms, then showing up on day-of with your license and rings– we do everything else! Wedding Planning does not have to stressful or hard if you have the right team behind you to execute a flawless wedding day!
