Yes! The Gardens welcomes all types of events. Please check the Facility Rental Packages
No matter the size and scope, facility rentals require Betty Ford Alpine Gardens’ staff time, attention, and resources. As a nonprofit, we use facility rentals as one of our only revenue generating programs. For smaller scope events, please follow the same process, include information on your event and our staff will be in touch with you shortly if accommodations are possible.
Additional rental hours are available to add onto your rental package.
The time you or your team needs to setup/breakdown the event is to be included as part of your rental time.
Due to minimal lighting in Ford Park, 9pm is the latest an event can occupy the venue.

Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater is located directly next to the outdoor botanic gardens (Alpine Plaza location). Because of this, we cannot gaurantee quietness during your ceremony. There may be performances, soundcheck or practicing occuring at any time of the day. We are unable to coordinate designated quiet times. Please see the Amphitheater’s calendar for their show schedule.
The Rooftop Terrace, located above the Education Center, is further away from the Amphitheater and less affected by sound.
