About

Choosing Tyler Arboretum as the location for your wedding or for a special gathering ensures a unique and unforgettable event. Set among 650 acres of rolling meadows and pristine woodlands in Media, Pennsylvania, Tyler Arboretum offers a setting unparalleled for its natural beauty, historic charm and true romance. Here, Mother Nature’s talents set the stage for breathtaking weddings held amid butterfly-filled gardens, towering trees, fields of wildflowers and centuries-old structures.

Tyler’s collections provide exquisite backdrops every season of the year. In spring, the perfume of hundreds of lilacs, magnolias, and rhododendrons fill the air, while the herb-filled Fragrant Garden comes to life in the summer sunshine. By autumn, the turning leaves of centuries-old trees steal the show. The beauty continues into winter with snow-laden branches of state-champion conifers and hollies.

Within the stone bank barn, built circa 1833, a reception room combined with tenting over an adjacent terrace that overlooks a rolling valley of majestic trees and babbling stream can accommodate gatherings up to 200 people.

JAM Catering + Tyler Arboretum The Best Duo

Our experience with Coby at the Tyler Arboretum was exceptional. Within minutes of arriving on the property, Coby's deep knowledge and passion for the venue were evident. He effortlessly highlighted the beauty and potential of the arboretum, making it easy for us to envision our event there. Despite visiting in January, Coby vividly painted a picture of what it would be like in August. Coupled with JAM Catering's detailed look books, the planning process became not only seamless but also incredibly enjoyable.

JAM Catering truly excels in personalizing their services to meet the unique needs of each couple. They go above and beyond to ensure that the menu is flawlessly tailored and meticulously curated. With a wide array of options for each course, they are also incredibly attentive to allergies, making their offerings both diverse and considerate.

Gorgeous Natural Location for a Wedding!

Tyler Arboretum is such an amazingly beautiful venue to have a wedding. We had our ceremony outside and had virtually no decorations as it was not needed in such a beautiful setting. The barn provided such a beautiful indoor setting for our reception, and for our group of around 100 it was the perfect size for everyone to eat, dance, and mingle comfortably. I couldn’t be happier that we chose this location for our wedding and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a similar setting!
