The city permit office runs this, it's not a private venue business, and the city posts a flat rental: $1,500 for a nine-hour block (2pm to 11pm) Friday to Sunday or holidays, $900 Monday to Thursday, plus a nonrefundable $210 deposit when you request the date. Capacity is 350 per the city site and registered 501c3 nonprofits get 50% off, with reservations for the next calendar year opening in early November (November 2 for 2027 dates). It's an 1882 Spanish-style pavilion overlooking the lake in City Park, so you get downtown skyline in some shots. One reviewer called it a DIY wedding dream, basically a blank canvas where you bring your own food truck and decor, and a mom whose daughter had her reception here raved about the park staff (named actual rangers who helped) and said the swan boats were a hit during cocktail hour. Heads up, a 1-star from June 2025 said the restrooms were closed and porta-potties got dropped on the bike route, so it's worth asking current status before booking. The surrounding park grounds add a garden feel around the pavilion itself.
