About Whetstone Park and Columbus Park of Roses

A wedding at Whetstone Park and Columbus Park of Roses surrounds you with roses, more than 11,000 of them in over 350 varieties, in one of the largest public rose gardens in the country. The 13-acre garden sits inside Whetstone Park in the Clintonville area of Columbus, and from mid-June through mid-September, when the roses are in full bloom, your wedding photos and your wedding video have color in every direction.

Three ceremony sites are offered from April through October. Site A puts a fountain behind you, with 50 white chairs provided. Site B is the Wedding Trellis, with 50 chairs and room for up to 150 if you rent more, plus electricity for a musician or a sound system. Site C, the Brick Gazebo, comes with 20 chairs and bleachers that seat up to 300, and it has electricity too. Beyond the main rose garden, there's a heritage garden of turn-of-the-century roses, an herb garden and a perennial garden for pictures after the wedding ceremony.

Booking a wedding site here requires the Whetstone Shelterhouse too: the site is only available as an add-on to that rental. The shelterhouse holds 175 people and has two fireplaces, a patio, a kitchenette and a changing room you can use during your permit time. Dates are popular, and when more than one couple wants the same day, the city holds a lottery a year out. Cars aren't allowed in the rose garden, so guests park in the lower lot west of the shelterhouse.

Reserve the shelterhouse and add the wedding site through Columbus Recreation and Parks.
Schedule your one 30-minute rehearsal (Monday through Thursday) at least 15 days ahead.
Ask the parks office about photo and video guidelines, and remember aisle runners aren't allowed on your wedding day.
