The wedding of our dreams!

The LA Arboretum was undoubtedly the perfect place for our wedding, not just because of its natural beauty, but because of the amazing people behind the scenes who worked to bring our special day to life. Carlos, Ronny, Michael, Nadia, and so many more worked tirelessly for months prior to our wedding putting us so at ease at every step of the way. They were prompt, attentive, and their genuine care and support for us was always evident. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran so smoothly, taking care of almost all rentals and setup matters to perfectly match our vision for the day. They crafted a custom wedding menu for us which all of our guests absolutely raved about (and many have since asked if they can get the recipes). They were consistently so warm and giving, and we could not have been happier. It helps that the Arboretum itself is so stunning at every step, from our ceremony to reception, and for all the myriad photo stops along the way. We highly recommend the Arboretum to any and all, and are eager to walk the gardens again to relive the joy of that day, and to appreciate the immense work that the Arboretum staff did to help realize it.

Beautiful Garden Wedding at the LA County Arboretum

We had our wedding here on 7/9/23 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and a more beautiful venue. We had our ceremony in the gazebo on the Event Lawn, and the reception at the Peacock Cafe. We were able to take beautiful photos all around the arboretum.

Carlos and Nicole who run the on-site Peacock Cafe also take care of weddings, and they were AMAZING! Carlos helped us set up all the logistics and made sure everything we wanted was able to happen. Nicole made us a completely vegan menu (dumpling-based buffet( that was DELICIOUS! She was lovely to work with and we couldn't believe this was her 2nd-ever vegan wedding. Everyone raved about the food!

Altogether we were so happy with our experience here. Carlos and Nicole are incredibly kind and are excellent at their jobs. They also helped us secure a wonderful DJ and helped us plan a beautiful wedding while staying in budget. The whole staff at the Arboretum made the night go amazingly smoothly. I couldn't recommend them enough!

A hidden gem!

I dreamed of a romantic outdoor wedding that is both accessible and close to nature, we surveyed many popular locations in SoCal, nothing came even close to what the LA Arboretum can offer! The grounds are meticulously well kept and there are endless beautiful spots for photos, as well as an assortment of locations to choose from for the event. For our July wedding of 150, we chose the Rose Garden for the ceremony and Aryes Hall for reception. The Arboretum foundation provides the venue, the on-site caterer The Fresh Gourmet provides the catering, rentals, and service. Carlos and the team at Fresh Gourmet are extremely capable and showed genuine care and dedication to make sure our special day was everything we had dreamed of. The food was delicious, our guests had a blast! We couldn't thank them enough. Highly recommend!

I've been going to the LA Arboretum since I was a child, and it was so special for me to have our wedding and reception there. Lucky for me, the Arboretum is also one of the most cost effective places to get married in LA County. The staff was very professional, and always answered promptly by phone. The Rose Garden was a gorgeous location for the ceremony. We had a flyover of two geese during our vows that everyone talked about afterwards. We loved having so many options for beautiful backgrounds for photos, especially the grand old oak trees. The Peacock Cafe was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to use the existing tables, chairs, and lighting, and to save on renting a dance floor by using the interior of the cafe. The photos of The Peacock Cafe at dusk are stunning, too. One of the best parts about getting married at the Arboretum is that we can go back whenever we like. I'm looking forward to bringing our children there one day, too.

The sites at the Arboretum speak for themselves. All were equally breathtaking making it difficult to choose one. Planning and working with the coordinator Veda was easy and straightforward. The vendors they recommended were equally accommodating and professional. It was a wonderful experience and made our event so special in so many ways. We will be back to visit the gardens as guests for years to come.

This venue is beautiful. I had my wedding on the meadow across from the waterfall, and held my reception on the patio of the Peacock Cafe. It was so nice to have both at the same place, and everyone still comments on how lovely it all turned out.

Our wedding was very much a "secret garden" experience. We had both our ceremony and reception in the Rose Garden. It was idyllic. We appreciated how professional and helpful all of the arboretum staff was. Veda, the event coordinator at the arboretum, went out of her way to help us get our wedding together.

We had our wedding at The Rose Garden. It was beautiful. Weather was perfect. Our florist did a wonderful job in decorating the garden. I loved the fact that they shuttled our guests in with golf carts. It was a bit rushed though since we only have a certain amount of time to set up and take pictures. We also had to clean everything ourselves, which was a bit of a hassle. But in the end it was worth it for our perfect wedding. The staff was very professional and helped out as much as they can. Overall, I would recommend this venue because it is very beautiful. A bit pricey, I think, but well worth it in the end. I just wished we had more time to hang out at the garden to take pictures afterwards. We did walk around the entire park to take pictures and it was absolutely beautiful. Totally worth the price just to get some beautiful pictures afterwards!
