Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum

Ann Arbor, MI
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

For your special day, plan a wedding made by nature. Set your wedding outdoors in one of our formal gardens or spaces, or indoors amid the lush tropical setting of the Conservatory. We offer seven distinct spaces, including a fragrant Herb Knot Garden, colorful Perennial Garden, the serene and intimate Willow Pond Island, or the summer-blooming Gateway Garden. All outdoor weddings include an indoor backup space in case of inclement weather.

We were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Potter Park Zoo, we were impressed by their open, friendly, and flexible communication style. The team, led by the wonderful Jenna, worked seamlessly to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. They were incredibly patient and professional, even helping us get around the zoo for our photos in a golf cart! The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was truly outstanding - the space was open, inviting, and just plain fun for us and all of our guests. I received so many compliments from our loved ones about how beautiful the zoo was and how polite the staff was. So many core memories were made at Potter Park, and I am endlessly grateful to Jenna and her team for making our special day as stress-free and magical as possible. Thank you, Potter Park Zoo!
