Rose Garden at Delano Park

1.     To reserve a date, a $600 money order or cashier’s check ($100 refundable damage deposit and $500 rental fee entitling the renter to four hours in the garden during regular garden hours) must be received by the Delano Park Conservancy at least 30 days but no more than one year prior to the event. Provided there is no property damage, the damage deposit monies will be returned within 45 days after the event. Events are limited to 50 people (including the wedding party in the case of weddings). The event, including associated set-up, clean-up, and photography must be completed within the hours reserved. Additional time will be charged at a rate of $100 per hour. If one of the four hours is used for a wedding rehearsal, it must be pre-arranged to take place during regular garden hours. A refund of the rental fee and damage deposit fee will be made if the Parks Department or Delano Park Conservancy has to cancel the event. A refund of the rental fee will not be made if the renter cancels the event; however, the damage deposit fee will be refunded. In case of rain, the original bride and groom may reserve another time and/or date (if available) within three (3) months of the original wedding date at no additional charge.   

 

2.     Delano Park Conservancy will schedule an orientation with the party who signs the application (and the bride in the case of a wedding) to take place at Parks and Recreation – 610 4^th Av. S.E. –  at which time the permit will be issued. You must have a rain plan and explain it at the orientation. Bring permit with you to the Rose Garden on the day of the event. Park Department, Friends of Delano Park, the Conservancy, or security personnel may ask to see it.
