Private Events & Rentals
The Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill is one of Santa Fe’s most enchanting venues. We invite you to add to your special occasion by hosting your guests in this singular setting at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Whether you are looking to host a wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner, photo shoot or corporate event, the Garden could well be the ideal location for what you have in mind.
Venue Rental Pricing & Policies
You can rent space at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden at Museum Hill for your private event seven days a week from May 15 through October 15.
The Garden is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, May through October. It costs more to rent the Garden on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no extra cost for renting space within the Garden on holidays when it is open. The Garden is closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Pricing includes venue rental information and fees. We offer tables, chairs, and AV equipment to rent for an additional fee. Event hosts are responsible for all other event-related expenses such as catering, equipment rental (including electrical generators, extra lighting and portable toilets), flowers, music, and setup and breakdown. In addition, the Garden charges $40 an hour for on-site staff support during the event, including setup and breakdown. Individuals visiting the Garden as guests at a private event will have access to the entire Museum Hill site. Hosts are required to set up within the confines of the space that is rented.
Event Spaces
The Museum Hill site sits at nearly 7,200 feet above sea level at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains.
The Garden is located just across the street from four world-class museums including the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, the Museum of International Folk Art, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian.
The Museum Hill site opened in July 2013 and covers over 20 acres that are leased from the city of Santa Fe and the state of New Mexico. There are three distinct sections: the Orchard Gardens, the Ojos y Manos: Eyes & Hands ethnobotanical garden and the Piñon-Juniper Woodland.
Events are permitted in the Orchard Gardens and in Ojos y Manos, both of which are described in more detail on the following pages. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our Federal Tax ID is 85-0366754.
