Love notes ~ from past couples"Arboretum was the best place to do our wedding because I’ve been to a lot of weddings in my life, but there was just something special about this one, and it wasn’t just because it was mine 🙂 It was wonderful to see our celebrant and witnesses not only enjoying our wedding, but afterwards being able to go out and enjoy the beautiful view and gardens with our families. From their social media posts, I could see they fell in love with it. It felt good to bring awareness to my in-laws who would be back and would tell their friends and families about it."
