What Our Clients Say

{

My employees had an incredible night. The communication leading up to the event, the parking guidance, and the way everything flowed once we arrived—it all made a difference. The staff were on top of every detail, and it really showed.

I cannot express how thrilled we are that we chose the NC Arboretum as our wedding venue. First, it is absolutely STUNNING. Pictures truly don’t do it justice. It is naturally gorgeous and beautifully maintained. We chose to have our ceremony at the Heritage Garden, cocktail hour at the fountain, and reception on the event lawn, which provided an easy transition for our guests. Second, the staff is amazing! They answered all of my questions quickly and made me feel at ease about everything.

The staff at the arboretum was open, friendly, and helpful through the whole planning process. My husband and I must have sent 1000 emails over the course of our 15 month engagement, and the events team at the Arboretum responded cheerfully to each one. The wedding itself was magical. The events team was so helpful with setup and logistics, and the grounds were as gorgeous as ever, even on a rainy day.
