As its name would suggest, DSBG is a beautiful botanical garden with over 110 acres of themed gardens and fountains.</p>
<p>Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is one of Charlotte&#8217;s most popular locations for weddings, so its important to book well in advance.  However, DSBG has several different areas that can be rented for weddings, so your options are always open.  Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden has both indoor and outdoor areas for your ceremony.</p>
<p>DSBG is not only a spectacular venue for weddings, but also a great location for bridal portraits.  If you&#8217;re unable to book DSBG for your wedding, or are simply getting married elsewhere, you can still book it for your bridal portrait for a small fee.</p>

<p>Located just outside the loop and  minutes from uptown, St. Mary&#8217;s Chapel is one of the best  places in the Charlotte area to get married.  Its quaint, beautiful and &#8211; since its owned by the city &#8211; relatively inexpensive.</p>

<p>St. Mary&#8217;s Chapel is also one of the most popular wedding venues in Charlotte.  This is largely because of its fantastic location near the heart of the city, and its close proximity to great reception venues.  Due to its low cost, a wedding at St. Mary&#8217;s also gives couples an opportunity to free up a much of their wedding budget and spend it elsewhere.  A lot of couples will have a quick, inexpensive wedding at St. Mary&#8217;s then have their reception uptown at a nice restaurant or hotel.</p>
<p>St. Mary&#8217;s is usually available as well, since it has multiple time slots over the course of the day.  But due to its popularity, we recommend that you book it early.</p>
