Meant To Be Venue

While Christina and Zach had their wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, North Carolina, for practical reasons, such as occupancy and parking, they also were excited by the thought of coming back time and again to visit the beautiful gardens. “Every corner of the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is simply gorgeous and just felt joyful and romantic,” Christina says. “It is also a place we could bring our family to, enjoy together and retell the story of where it all began. We've already started a tradition we love of visiting the gardens during their Holiday Lights event every winter. What really sealed the deal was when Zach told me that this was the exact place he imagined us when he pictured me walking down the aisle toward him.”
