Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden is a beautiful public Garden in the heart of Kernersville's Historic Downtown. Our Carriage House was designed to accomodate a full range of events including business and nonprofit events, weddings, receptions, rehersal dinners and parties. Our surrounding gardens provide the perfect backdrop for any occasion.

The Carriage House offers a Conference Room and an elegant 2,400 square-foot Ballroom opening onto the Patio Terrace.

​The Gregory M. Ciener Ballroom features a dramatic, vaulted ceiling over half the space and on the other side of the Ballroom, a dropped ceiling for more intimate dining. The Ballroom accommodates 150 guests for dinner (seated) and dancing, up to 200 for Meetings, Lectures and Classes (theatre style), and up to 200 for Cocktail or Other Events (standing room only). French doors from the Ballroom open on the Patio Terrace with a view of the gardens.

Patio Terrace and Courtyard Garden is constructed with blue stone, surrounded by a stacked stone wall, anchored by two stone planters, the Patio Terrace is the outflow for the Ballroom. The Courtyard Garden resembles gardens found in Charleston. Seasonal containers and vines can be found here.

​A receiving kitchen adjoins the Ballroom and is equipped to accommodate the service of food prepared by caterers.

​Our goal for special events at the Garden is to provide a magnificent garden surrounding a lovely facility that can accommodate a full range of events; such as corporate luncheons, cocktail socials, rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions.

​With stunning gardens, a spacious Ballroom located in our Carriage House, adjoining the Patio Terrace, and Conference Room, you can host an indoor event that brings in the outdoors.
