About

In the heart of Houston, Texas lies Hermann Park. Within Hermann Park is the McGovern Centennial Gardens, an 8-acre botanical garden designed by world renowned landscape and building architecture firms. It truly is an oasis in the center of a bustling cityscape.

The Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion serves as the main entryway to the McGovern Centennial Gardens and offers a stunning view of a 30-foot garden mount across the expansive Centennial Green. The Pavilion offers a sleek, modern indoor space with patio access perfect for wedding receptions, cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners and more. The space accommodates many different events for up to 150 seated guests, 200 seated theatre style, or 250 cocktail style.

The Celebration Garden is our unique outdoor event space. With the lush planting and artificial turf lawn, your event space is beautiful year round. The tall hedges that surround the Celebration Garden give it an intimate feel, despite being large enough to accommodate seated receptions up to 270 or seated ceremonies of 300. The space can be tented, if desired.

Contact us today to learn more about hosting your event in Houston's premier garden venue.

Perfect garden wedding venue!

McGovern was the perfect place for our garden wedding! The Celebration Garden and Flores Pavilion were both so beautiful and really wowed our guests. Sunset picture in front of the mound and in the garden were so perfect!

Beautiful and Weather can be a Factor

Beautiful outdoor venue, the staff is excellent to work with.
Weather can be a concern but tenting is always an option.
The Bridal room is very small.
The inside space can be tough to decorate, if budget is not a concern, no problem.
Our evening the weather was fabulous so everyone was outside and the fountains were amazing.
The event rental feel goes back into the Park.
Highly recommend

Beautiful views!

We just had our wedding reception at the Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion and it was amazing. Gretchen and Elizabeth were great to work with. They made us feel welcome and were available to answer any questions we had leading up to our day. The space was a blank canvas and we were able to decorate as we pleased. As clients we were able to take our engagement photos at the gardens and our couples portraits the day off. The views are amazing and our guests enjoyed our reception. I would definitely recommend having an event here.
