Fall colors are at peak this weekend and the perfect backdrop for five weddings taking place Fri.-Sun. Indoors or out, they all promise to be magnificent. Watch for images to be posted later--from indoors in the historic Snyder Bldg. to Sensory Garden to Shrub Rose garden. Check out for yourself or online.

What could be more romantic than Valentine's Day at the Arboretum?  Reserve your wedding for Saturday, February 14, 2009 with a backdrop of orchids in the McQuinn Great Hall.

 The Arboretum offers options for ceremony, wedding and more depending on your needs and preferences.   Plan a ceremony in the Snyder Auditorium with reception following in the MacMillan Auditorium.   Or, for a smaller more intimate wedding, how about the Fireplace Room and reception on the Balcony or Tea Room.    Special holiday pricing available.

"The Arboretum is a beautiful place to get married.  Relaxing for adult guests and great fun for children.    We had kids catching frogs during our reception!   We found the entire staff courteous, conscientious and pleasant.   The food exceeded our expectations."

"We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Nelson Shrub Rose Garden and a wonderful wedding reception in the MacMillan Auditorium.   Throughout the evening, Ron and I received many compliments from the tram ride around the Arboretum, to the unbelievable flowers, to the exceptional food.    I want to thank everyone involved!   The food service staff is to be commended - the food was professionally presented, hot and plentiful and the lines moved quickly.   I observed guests going to the never ending dessert bar throughout the evening!"
