Brookside Gardens weddings

Brookside Gardens is a 50-acre garden in Wheaton, in Montgomery County. Wedding sites include the Yew Garden with formal hedgerows, the Fragrance Garden with gazebos, and the Japanese Pavilion on Gude Island.

Ceremonies can be in the gardens, with cocktails under the lights on the South Terrace. Dinner and dancing can be in the Auditorium or at the Aquatic Overlook Tent Site. For portraits, groups of two or more need a photography permit in advance.

At Brookside Gardens, TLIC Wedding Photo & Video is a wedding photo and video team with one wedding photographed here. Brianna and Joel had us here in March 2024 for photo coverage, so this page comes from a real spring wedding.
