Garten Verein (“garden club”) is one of Galveston’s favorite special event venues! Set in verdant Kempner Park, the historic tiered dancing pavilion offers a magical venue for weddings, receptions, dinners, and parties. The building’s most unique octagonal design and panoramic windows allow spectacular views from every angle. It resembles a grand glassed-in gazebo, and is one of the only structures to survive the 1900 Storm. This air-conditioned facility includes a caterer’s prep room, stage and dance floor. Viewing this venue is available by appointment with the Galveston Historical Foundation.
