My wife and I got married this summer, and chose the Thornhill Education Center for our wedding venue. The Morton Arboretum had everything we needed for a beautiful wedding and reception, where all the photos from our special day feature scenic trees, flowers, and rolling grassy hills.

We had the privilege of working with Denise for all our wedding needs. Denise was incredibly experienced, helpful, and guided us through the entire process. She recommended great vendors and was always there when we had questions. She anticipated so many of our needs, and made the big day so special!

Denise also helped us connect with Jill, our contact for the venue's catering team. The food was extraordinary. It might sound a bit weird, but my wife and I didn't know our wedding day would feature the world's most delicious mashed potatoes. Jill and the team were so friendly, personally stopping by to make sure the food was perfect (it was) and made sure we had everything we needed. And seriously the mashed potatoes were SO GOOD!

I cannot imagine our wedding anywhere but the Morton Arboretum, and we are so grateful for the perfect weather and the beautiful memories we created there!

We were very happy with the Morton Arboretum and Ginkgo Catering for our June wedding! Our ceremony was in the beautiful Founders Room, and our reception was just down the hall in the Arbor Room. Jennie and Lisa, our venue and catering coordinators, were both easy to work with and answered all our questions throughout the process. The food was tasty, and we felt so taken care of by the staff on our big day! Also, one of the biggest reasons we chose the Morton Arboretum is because of their dedication to sustainability and environmentalism. It was so reassuring to know that our money went toward such an important organization and that they follow sustainable practices, like composting uneaten food instead of just tossing it. This is probably the most waste-producing event we’ll ever host, so having a venue that cares about sustainability was incredibly important to us. We definitely recommend the Morton Arboretum!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a wedding at the Morton Arboretum, and it was an exceptional experience. The venue itself is breathtaking, with beautiful landscapes that provided the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and photos. Working with Denise was an absolute delight; she was incredibly flexible, kind, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. Her professionalism and warm demeanor made everything run smoothly and stress-free. We highly recommend the Morton Arboretum for anyone looking for a stunning venue with outstanding service.
