The setting
“It was a perfect day for a walk, with the temperature in the 50s the dappled afternoon sunlight, the ice in the ponds, and the trails carpeted with fallen leaves.”

From the reviews
Wonderful venue for an event. We did our vow renewal at Bailey Arboretum in April 2022 (it was an outdoor event). Courtney was wonderful to work with and helped us find some amazing vendors for our event. Everything went well. The facilities inside the building are clean and well maintained.
Getting married at Bailey Arboretum
Bailey Arboretum comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
