If you are interested in booking a wedding or an event at the Gardens, we highly recommend taking a complimentary private tour first. Simply choose a day and time that works best for you here.

From there, let our experienced staff assist in planning your event -- from tents, tables, and chairs -- to lighting. If our rental partner does not offer what you are looking for, we can recommend many local companies to complete your planning needs.

Garden Reviews

Thank you so much Amy!! I’ve greatly appreciated all your help through the entire wedding process.

Married in the MSU Horticulture Gardens Arboretum 8/3/24


What parts of your experience did you enjoy? We enjoyed the communication and the flexibility. We loved the staff and we felt like they were very low-stress but were eager to make us happy. We loved that they were so well prepared to communicate with vendors and we did not have to orchestrate those conversations at all. We loved being able to have flexibility in set up time, being able to set up the day before and for a little while the morning of was a lifesaver.

What factors led you to book with us over another business? The beautiful nature of the grounds and how well kept they were. As well as the flexibility in planning, and the ability to reach the staff at any time during the planning process.

How satisfied are you with your overall experience? Extremely satisfied

Please share your candid review of our services here: The communication and support leading up to the event were great! We felt like we had a really clear vision of how the day was going to go even before the day arrived. We also immensely appreciated the flexibility in set-up time the day before and the morning of the wedding. It was so incredibly helpful to be able to get most of the setup done the day before, we feel incredibly lucky to have worked with such great staff that allowed that to happen. The day itself went incredibly smoothly as well. The coordination of the staff with our other vendors was so easy and smooth, we didn’t have to worry about anything. The venue itself was just gorgeous and perfect for what we needed. Everything was clean and the plants and flowers were so well kept. We, as well as our guests, were so impressed by how beautiful the grounds were.

MSU Student Memorial Tribute 7/9/24


Please share your candid review of our services here: I loved having my wedding at the North MSU horticulture gardens. The flowers were beautiful and there were so many places for pictures. It was the end of June so the greenhouse was a little hot but being able to have the dance floor under the tent outside was amazing. The ceremony spot was also beautiful and everything we needed was set up before my team got there to finish it.

Hi Amy and Savannah,

Thank you so much for helping to make the Student Memorial Tribute the most appreciated event that we wish we didn’t have to put on!  Everyone I spoke to was so appreciative and loved the setup.  You were both instrumental in making this event happen.  Thank you, again!!
