DO YOU ALLOW TENTING?

YES! Our diverse spaces at The Greenhouse at Driftwood can accommodate events of all sizes. All clients hosting events with over 50 guests are required to secure and submit a rain plan consisting of a tent in any one or several of our outdoor areas. We work exclusively with Whim Event Rentals and IndieHouse Events for tenting.

​

CAN WE GET MARRIED IN THE GREENHOUSE?

The greenhouses are a special part of our venue. We love for people to enjoy them, but please understand the plants are incredibly rare and extremely important to us. The capacity for the desert greenhouse is ten which includes a photographer and officiant, so it works well for elopements or tiny ceremonies. The tropical greenhouse can hold up to 40, but please note the couple and officiant are the only people allowed on the pathway in the actual plants. Please inquire with questions or for clarity.

We are happy to refer vendors who have worked on the property and have continuously provided positive and professional experinces.
