Chairs for Ceremony at Overlook Pavilion
The Arboretum is a popular site for weddings, with hundreds of couples married here since 2009. Arboretum rental venues are available for wedding ceremonies only. They are not available for wedding receptions or activities associated with weddings other than the ceremony itself.
Alcohol may not be present or served at wedding ceremonies.
Please do:
- Enhance your décor with free-standing props, such as pillars, podiums, arbors, floral containers, and planters.
- Gather and remove all event-related materials at the conclusion of the event.
- Ask the events manager specific questions in the early planning stages of your event.
Please do not:
- Use adhesives or attach decorations to the Arboretum’s buildings, pillars, pavement, or plants.
- Use decorations or materials that are not environmentally friendly, including balloons, confetti, streamers, pompoms, glitter, rice, and breakable vases.
- Release live animals, insects, plants, or plant parts (including flower petals), as laid out in our Release Policy for Animals and Plants.
Photographers hired by Arboretum rental clients may take pictures of the wedding party and guests both in the rental venue and throughout the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens. All photographers must abide by guidelines in the general photography policy pertaining to not blocking walkways or entering planting beds and water features.
