What Couples Are Saying

"Dubuque Arboretum was a perfect place to have an outdoor ceremony. They even have a backup plan just in case there is a chance of rain. It is also a one-stop place for pictures! You don't even need to add your own decor to the ceremony as it is naturally beautiful! Would definitely recommend to others for anyone looking for somewhere outdoors!"
SAMANTHA JO SLAATS

Ceremony Venue: Lagen-Buelow Gazebo

Facebook Review

"I have been going to the arboretum since I was a child with my grandmother. We would tour the gardens, write papers about flowers, attend Music in the Gardens, take high school photos there, and after her passing place a stone in honor of her there. Now, it feels like the perfect place to get married as it is beautiful as well as so sentimental to my family."
