Rose Sachs Gardens has a 40-foot by 40-foot heated building with expansive windows that take full advantage of the spectacular scenery.  If your budget allows, it is recommended that you rent a tent from a rental company to act as an extension to our pavilion.

We have an extensive and professional caterer list from which to choose.  All vendors on this list have worked at Rose Sachs Gardens numerous times and are among the very best at what they do. Their prices, services and styles range widely and they are not on the list in any particular order.  For the protection of both Rose Sachs Gardens and the client, we require that you choose from these professional and experienced caterers. 

There is a 3 ½ hour time period for the serving of alcohol, with the alcohol portion of the bar to close ½ hour prior to the event end time.

Alcohol brought in by the client must have the UDABC sticker attached.
