Facilities and Capacity

For your wedding day, The Crosby Arboretum offers two options: The Pincecote Pavilion or The Rosen Pavilion. Option 1: This open building rests on the base of earth-tied brick, with wooden beams and panelling that provide shelter. This all-wood structure is built from indigenous materials and native pine. Surrounded by earth, water, and trees, it is a truly enchanting setting in which to exchange vows and dance the night away with loved ones by your side. Couples are welcome to arrange their own setup and decor, tailoring the space to match their unique event needs. Option 2: Is equally as beautiful but will be tailored to a smaller, intimate setting. The venue offers PA systems and Bluetooth speaker rentals, as well as the use of its limo golf cart for moving around the property and photography.
