Why it's listed — and what we can confirm

From the reviews

With outdoor space for the ceremony, reception and dancing, you have the option of having almost everything outside for your wedding which is great during COVID-19. While you can do everything outdoors, the inside space is lovely, with multiple rooms downstairs and upstairs to have guests.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Feb 2021

Everything was beautiful. Awesome service. The food was good. We came for a wedding and everything was beautiful. It rained but they had a beautiful tent set up. The cocktail hour had delicious apps: caramelized onions and brussel sprouts, cheese steak egg rolls, and a beautiful charcuterie table. 10/10

It was my son and his bride's wedding. I loved everything about the Awbury Arboretum. It was a beautiful natural environment, comfortable, romantic and cozy, the gardens were luxuriant with plants and flowers, the flower arrangements on the tables were gorgeous and matched the wedding colors perfectly.
