Sacramento Parks Wedding Reservation Policies

The City of Sacramento offers beautiful parks and gardens as unique outdoor sites for small intimate weddings. To ensure our park and garden resources are protected and disturbances of the neighbors are minimized, we do enforce capacity and activity limitations. Please review the following policies that apply to weddings in our gardens and parks.

Wedding Party Size

The parks and gardens are designed for small, intimate weddings. To protect the parks and gardens, wedding parties must be less than 200 people. Weddings which exceed this limitation or damage to park resources may be required to forfeit the damage deposit.
