I thought this post was going to be a “venue spotlight” post where I could talk about having your wedding at the U.S. Botanic Garden. Nope, the not-very-helpful-but-pleasant-enough info desk guy said. It’s federal land and so you can’t rent it out… I was unclear on the details, but there was a very useful sign saying “no weddings ever.” So you won’t be getting married at the U.S. Botanic Garden.
