The setting
Amenities couples mention
“Take those mugs, put them in the event tent.”
What couples say again and again
“This class is the perfect combination of gentle stretching, mindful movement, balance work, and mobility training in one of the most peaceful and beautiful settings imaginable.”
“The paths are wide and well-maintained, with plenty of space for dogs on leash to walk, play, and burn off energy while passing other friendly visitors.”
From the reviews
Why did the illumination event and enjoyed it despite being bitterly cold when we went. The price I think is a little much but we paid $58 for two people, not sure what the $40 per person the other reviewer mentions.
It is clean and peaceful and inviting. From the trees to the water it is very tranquil. The sculptures were an added bonus. Great place to choose for an event or your wedding.
I've been a member AMD have going here for yrs. I love all the events that they provide throughout the yr. I enjoy walking though the Arboretum it's so peaceful and enjoy finding the Artwork from different artists through out the years. Everyone who works there are so friendly and helpful.
My now husband and I were married here years ago and we always visit in the fall for our anniversary. ❤️ The rotating sculptures are fun to see, and all the different paths to explore make each trip a treat!
Getting married at The Morton Arboretum
The Morton 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.
