We were very happy with our wedding at the MSU horticultural gardens. They coordinated closely with us through the entire process. There team was prompt at getting ready the day before and the day of.
They were flexible with allowing us to play yard games and bring dogs to our wedding.
We held the ceremony outside the greenhouse, and reception in the greenhouse (in bad weather we would have done both in the greenhouse).
When we did the first walk through we were worried because the fans were quite loud, but during the actual event, you can rent standing fans that keep the greenhouse cool without the noise. We were also worried about it getting hot, but they can extend a cover on the roof that can block the sun, so on our day, it was very comfortable in the greenhouse.
We did our wedding on May 10, and it was a little too early for the garden to have fully bloomed, but it was still pretty with all of the greenery, but a date a little later in the year would probably have had more flowering plants.
One other benefit: we were both MSU alumni, so it was a meaningful venue, and we were happy to give our school the extra business.
