From the reviews
We hosted my mother’s Celebration of Life in the fireside room VERY last minute as inclement weather changed our original plans - Kelly was so wonderful with helping us book and plan everything out and we were so grateful for her insight and professionalism especially for such a special event.
Getting married at Northland Arboretum
Northland 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.
