About

A 66-acre botanical garden featuring 15 lush ceremony sites, historic estates like the DeGolyer and Alex Camp House, and modern glass reception halls overlooking White Rock Lake and the Dallas skyline.

Why we like Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

Spanning 66 acres of breathtaking floral displays and manicured landscapes, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is widely considered one of the most beautiful wedding destinations in the world. Couples are spoiled for choice with 18 distinct ceremony gardens, ranging from the intimate, walled Poetry Garden to the dramatic McCasland Sunken Garden with its sun-dappled stone staircases and central fountain. With the shimmering waters of White Rock Lake and the distant Dallas skyline providing a natural backdrop, the Arboretum offers a "fairytale" atmosphere that requires very little additional decor to feel complete. For the reception, the venue transitions from natural wonder to architectural elegance across several premium event spaces. The DeGolyer House, a historic Spanish Colonial Revival estate, offers a refined patio setting perfect for sunset dinners, while A Tasteful Place provides a modern, glass-walled pavilion with panoramic lake views. Larger celebrations find a home in Rosine Hall, a versatile grand space that opens onto a lush terrace, allowing guests to mingle under the stars. Managed by a dedicated events team and supported by top-tier catering partners, a wedding at the Arboretum is a seamless blend of outdoor serenity and sophisticated hospitality.
