Private Events at the Garden

Imagine su propia celebración bajo las estrellas. Ya sea una cena romántica a la luz de las velas o un evento exótico con inspiración asiática… el Jardín es el ambiente perfecto para la boda o celebración que siempre ha soñado.

El Jardín Japonés de la Amistad es una joya que se oculta en el corazón del histórico Balboa Park de San Diego. En este momento el jardín ocupa 10,117 metros cuadrados de paisajes quietos y florecientes. El Jardín es el ambiente ideal para funciones íntimas de hasta 200 invitados.

The Koi Pond and Moon Viewing Deck

La belleza simple del Estanque de Peces Koi lo ha convertido en un lugar preferido para las ceremonias. El estanque se encuentra bajo el portal de wisteria (Fujidana) y rodeado por los sonidos de la catarata. El Estanque de los Peces Koi es el lugar ideal para decir “Sí, Acepto” en una ceremonia intima de bodas.
