Facilities and Capacity
Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is home to many great outdoor event sites, perfect for hosting a memorable celebration with loved ones. Say your vows under The Lagen-Buelow Gazebo, a classic and romantic structure situated in the rose garden. For a more intimate ceremony, opt for the Formal English Garden, a stunning garden with brick walkways, manicured hedges, and a bubbling fountain. Suppose you're concerned about inclement weather but would still like an open-air atmosphere. In that case, the Packard Pavilion Amphitheatre is an excellent option. This covered structure provides incredible views of the flowering gardens and can accommodate up to 200 guests. All of the event sites include using the indoor Garden Room for an hour before and an hour after your ceremony for refreshments and socializing.
Services Offered
Rental fees at this venue include your choice of the ceremony site, 100 chairs, and the use of the Pavilion should it rain on your wedding day. The wedding party can use the Garden Room to get ready and relax before the event begins, and all parties are welcome to decorate their ceremony site to suit their style and design. While the Arboretum will remain open to the public, your party will have exclusive access to your wedding area, allowing you to enjoy privacy amidst the sprawling property.
