The beautiful, natural settings of Rutgers Gardens make it a special place to host your event. Whether you wish to get married in a rustic setting, share an outdoor birthday party or baby shower with friends and family, or take stunning engagement photos in the enchanting bamboo grove, our unique venue makes a perfect backdrop for any special occasion.
Due to the seasonal nature of Rutgers Gardens, facility rentals are only available May 14th through November 3rd.
The Rutgers Gardens venue rental is available to Rutgers Gardens Members and Rutgers University Departments only. New memberships can be processed at the time of rental confirmation.
Rental requests are addressed in the order in which they are received.
All venue rentals require a $500.00 security deposit to reserve a date.
The venue is not available on Mondays as the Gardens is closed to all visitors.
