The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks is a picture-perfect venue for your wedding day. We have become known as the premiere wedding venue in Northwest Arkansas and have been voted one of the Top 5 Best Places to Get Married by readers of Citiscapes magazine from 2009-2021.
We have earned this distinction by providing a beautiful setting for couples under the Rotary Peace Arbor on the Great Lawn, which can accommodate up to 800 guests. Our lovely and uniquely timber-framed Totemeier Event Hall and Tyson Terrace overlook the Garden and make excellent reception space.
We offer three wedding packages, the traditional wedding, terrace wedding and the simple wedding.
