Would marry here over and over again!!

There are so many wonderful things to write about in this review about our experience in planning our wedding from the beginning to the end but we can't thank Aunty Gwen and her staff enough for the most magical wedding ever. Mahaloz for everything! Aunty Gwen was just the best. Her aloha and wonderful guidance made our wedding amazing. She's a fantastic communicate and truly wants you to have the best wedding ever.
My husband and I fell in love with the grounds, especially the majestic tree that we got married in front of. We also loved the fact that we were able to honor our ancestors in both our Hawaiian and Mexican traditions in this beautiful valley. We even were blessed with a sprinkle of rain, which is a beautiful sign that our loved ones who had past were there with us, listening. The grounds were beautifully tended and the waterfall was perfect. No Cows!! LOL! I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone looking to have their wedding ceremony and photo's taken there. You are not only creating memories for just yourself but your guests will have the best experience ever.
We are looking forward to going back to take pictures in front of that magical tree and thank Aunty Gwen once again for all her aloha.

Dream wedding

We could not have been happier with our wedding at the McBryde garden. Choosing this venue determined a good deal of our budget since we had to bring in everything including toilets and a generator, but it absolutely made our day unforgettable. Gwen Silva is incredibly kind, professional and lovely to work with.

Finding a venue for a destination wedding was a bit challenging. We wanted an outdoor wedding and we had never been to Kauai. Not seeing a venue in person was a bit worrisome. But once we saw pictures of Ntbg Allerton garden, we fell in love. Gwen was great, friendly and responsive. She took the time to tell us as much information as possible. She respondeed back via email within a day whenever we had questions. She also sent us more pictures and videos to let us get a better idea of the venue. We are very happy to have picked this beautiful place. There's so much space and you get the whole place to yourself. Our guests complimented how beautiful and perfect it was. You see the water in the background and you have a lot of greenery and flowers. This venue describes Kauai very well. You'll have to book all the vendors, but it makes the wedding more personal. Everything went smoothly!

We definitely recommend having your wedding at NTBG.

The National Tropical Botanical Garden is a photographer's dream come true. The foliage is lush and secluded with a gorgeous private waterfall just a short walk away. Everything is beautiful and makes you feel like you're on the set of Jurassic Park. Gwen is sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for both weddings and private portrait sessions.
