From the reviews

Meadowlark is a spectacular garden adventure! So many species of plants and it just keeps getting better each year. It's also a wonderful place for an engagement session or wedding.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jul 2026

Stunning venue! Very easy to work with the staff. The couple had a lovely time. We had a blast walking around finding beautiful spots for photos. I hope to be back very soon!

Getting married at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

Meadowlark Botanical Gardens 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.
