Carolyn B. Married on 10/16/2022Easy, affordable, and beautiful! 100/10
Gabis arboretum exceeded any expectations we had for our small intimate wedding ceremony. I was blown away by the affordable prices that these beautiful locations offered. Choosing our ceremony spot was really difficult because each location we toured was amazing. I also really appreciated the convenience of the vendor lists provided to us as it made choosing food/beverages easy.
I would like to give a special thanks to Yvonne who made this whole experience seamless.
She was helpful, kind, and very timely with responses. Yvonne went above and beyond for us and we really appreciate all she did to help us!-

Danielle C. Married on 10/16/2022Most Magical Night of my Life
We had a night wedding at the venue and it felt like it was right out of a fairytale! The garden near the pavilion was stunning and with all our little lights and the fireplace on it looked absolutely stunning! The beauty of the natural space did most of the work and it made decorating much easier knowing the fall leave and flowers would make it look so perfect. Yvonne helped us plan the wedding and was extremely flexible when we shifted the time of the wedding and responded almost immediately whenever we had questions. She made are special day stress free! I am so grateful to have had our wedding at the Arboretum. Thank you!Gabis Arboretum at Purdue Northwest's reply:
