“I cannot recommend The Highlands enough as a wedding venue. The owner and venue coordinator, Jean and Aubrey, are constantly working to make every wedding experience the best. We could not believe the beauty of the venue when we first toured it. Since booking, they have made many beautiful updates such as new bridal suite furniture, new bar decor, and have even added chandeliers to the wings of the venue. We could not believe how much was included with our rental: ceremony and reception table/chair setup and takedown, black or white linens; a full closet of decor including signs, centerpieces, candelabras, table runners, and even champagne walls; open vendor policy, and on-site event staff to help with trashes, bathrooms, and any concerns that may arise. We were incredibly lucky to have found this venue, and we recommend it to every couple searching for one!”

“I'm a Hesston, KS-based photographer, and I work on location at the beautiful Dyck Arboretum more than any other. I can say with certainty that the Dyck Arboretum of the Plains is one of my very favorite to work with; the staff there is helpful, positive, and collaborative. We've worked together many times, and they never cease to surprise me in their innovativeness growing the Arboretum both as a nature preserve and a business; they work super hard, are always up for trying new things, and are dedicated to sustainability. I highly recommend the Dyck Arboretum in every way!”
