Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden Overview

Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden, located in Rockford, Illinois is a stunning venue for a garden wedding. The grounds offer winding trails of wildflower gardens, creeks, and breathtaking backdrops around ever corner. The Fountain Garden is a very popular site for wedding ceremonies. Flowers, vines, and a bubbling fountain surround the barn styled pavilion. For intimate wedding celebrations, the Bridge and Pond Garden is a shaded, elegant option. Imagine wedding your love among the flowers, lily pads, and trickling stream, it is a private magical site. After an outdoor ceremony, and time exploring the grounds, many venture inside to our Visitor’s Center banquet room. This traditional space is a wonderful host to garden dining. Inside the banquet room is flexible to reflect your wedding vision with additional décor, lights, and music. With your touch, this space becomes a warm romantic scene. The banquet room keeps you close to the natural beauty of the Arboretum gardens with six sliding glass doors that lead to an outdoor patio. Become immersed in the beauty of Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Gardens while basking in the love of newly bonded family.
