Kawachinagano Japanese Gardens

Picture

The Kawachinagano Japanese Gardens are located right next to City Hall in Carmel right next to the Monon Trail.  There is a beautiful pond and a picnic shelter. The Carmel Gazebo is in the same general location on the other side of City Hall.  This is a great location for a picturesque elopement and photo shoot.

Do We Need Permission To Use The Gardens?
The gardens are open to the public to general use.  An elopement of a few people using a small portion of the park for a quick elopement ceremony or to take photographs falls into the general use category.  If you are going to block off an area of the park for a longer amount of time with a large group of people you definitely want to check with the City of Carmel to make sure there is nothing else going on that day.  
 The gardens can be formally reserved through the city of Carmel
The street address for Kawachinagano Japanese Gardens is:
One Civic Square
Carmel, Indiana 46032

Here is a link to information about Carmel's Public Use Policy:

​
They also have a contact number for questions:    
(317) 571-2400  (This is the number to The City of Carmel - not me!)
Generally, If you just want to use the park for a quick elopement with just a few people, you can use the area for free.  It's always good to call ahead to make sure nothing else is happening at the location the date and time you want to elope. They are very friendly.  You can use these same links and phone numbers if you want to use the Gazebo in Carmel which is located on the other side of City Hall from the Japanese Gardens.  ​

Diversity Statement
We are open to marrying any couple. It is our goal to meet each couple where they are and help them to have a positive wedding experience.  In order to meet you where you are, we approach every wedding with an open mind - we don’t know anything about you until you tell us and that’s only if you choose to tell us.  Wedding ceremony scripts have been written for years for brides and grooms. Now, bride and bride or groom and groom are very common. Some couples are choosing to forego traditional gender roles altogether and are using the terms spouse or partner. If you have made the choice to use non-traditional pronouns, please let us know, and we will be happy to honor your preferences.   Any wedding ceremony script can be changed to reflect those personal preferences.​
