Klehm was such a gorgeous venue in and of itself that we didn't need too add much florals/decorations to enhance it for our day. We received so many compliments from our bridal party, friends, and family who all said the venue was beautiful. We...
had our ceremony at the gazebo structure where Klehm already had their own large pot arrangements. It was the most beautiful setting for photos and there were so many other good places for pictures that we had to choose our favorites because of time. There was ample parking, the restrooms were unlocked and available, and we were also able to use the bridal suite as well. The staff was wonderful to work with, and very communicative despite a change in their employees roles during our planning process. Overall, it was a very positive experience working with Klehm and Francesco's staff and I would highly recommend!
Even on a cloudy Fall day, it was a beautiful venue and I got so many compliments from my family and friends! I've always wanted an outdoor wedding and Klehm was the perfect location. The gardens were gorgeously maintained and there are so many...
different areas to take pictures in. I loved that they had a private bridal suite for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in; they even unlocked the door early for me to ensure we had enough time to get ready! We used the Pavilion for both our ceremony and reception to save money and the staff were so amazing to work with! They flipped the space for us in between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. My favorite part of the entire experience was working with the day of coordinator, Michelle, from Franchesco's (the exclusive caterer for events in the Pavilion). She was so sweet and made sure I didn't have to lift a finger! I had like a million questions for her and she patiently answered all of them making me feel so at ease with the whole process! The string lights under the tent are romantic and you don't need a lot of decorations. There was plenty of space for our 120 guests. If you are looking for a beautiful and affordable wedding venue, Klehm is your spot!
It was the perfect outdoor wedding! Amidst COVID we were still able to celebrate our wedding and Klehms and Francesco helped create it. Thank you so much!
Klehm Arboretum was the perfect venue for us! I've always dreamed of getting married in a garden or forest, and Klehm had both on the same grounds. We had our ceremony in the Fountain Garden, and our Reception inside in the Visitor's Center (Se...
pt. 3, 2017). The gardens were so gorgeous for pictures, and even the indoor space, with the wooden beams and string lights, was beautiful in itself. When you first look at the inside reception area, it seems small, but there was plenty of room for all 150 guests to move around comfortably. If you're looking for an Arboretum wedding without having to spend a fortune, Klehm is your spot!
Overall I would have to say my recent wedding at Klehm was AMAZING! We did run into a few problems with a less than helpful staffer and some less than appropriate guests, but the 2 event planners were so wonderful to work with. My day was so a...
bsolutely beautiful I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere but Klehm.
We had our ceremony outside at Klehm. It was very beautiful and needed no extra decoration. They had everything you could need for the ceremony.
We had our wedding here in June, 2010, and it was amazing. The grounds were beautiful. The consultant was helpful and got our deposit back to us in a timely manner. The chairs were set up the day of, and the night before for our rehearsal. It h...
ad poured the day before, so the ground was a little soggy in some places for the wedding, but otherwise it was great for the ceremony and pictures.
