About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Carleen Bright Arboretum is a charming wedding venue located in Woodway, Texas. A beautiful landmark and important of the town’s identity, the arboretum has delighted local and out-of-town guests for years. Nature-lovers will adore the colorful displays of its flowerbeds and vivid scents of the myriad flora on show. A truly picturesque setting for any stage of the wedding experience, the property features a choice of venue sites depending on couples’ needs. Located near Waco, it is an easily accessed venue that benefits from proximity to the cities of Dallas and Austin and their respective airports.

Facilities and Capacity

Carleen Bright Arboretum offers a gorgeous indoor space called the Pavilion that is ideal for hosting a ceremony amongst the beauty of Mother Nature. Newlyweds can explore the grounds for a wedding photo shoot, taking time to pose before the flowers and beautiful landscaping. The Pavilion is an open and large event space that can welcome large receptions. Its Great Hall welcomes natural light through large windows, and rustic beams traverse its high reaching, gabled ceiling. From these hang simple light fixtures, and the room’s refined decor encourages couples to get creative when decorating. The room can host up to 350 guests. There are two large patio spaces attached to the Pavilion, both of which are lit by string lighting as night falls. Its gardens also include a Gazebo that is a fairytale location for ceremonies for an additional fee. There is parking available on-site for guests arriving from far and wide.

Services Offered

The management is proud to welcome weddings to their stunning arboretum. They can help couples on the day of their wedding and provide information about the surrounding area. The staff can assist couples with their accommodation needs. The Pavilion at the Arboretum provides a day of venue coordinator that can assist the renting party with any questions they have about the space.

Beautiful grounds and Stunning pavillion

I saw some pictures online and new I wanted to hire them immediately. The place is even more gorgeous in person. I had an amazing time taking all the pictures I could. It was the perfect setting for a wedding. Everyone was so quick to respond to any and all questions we had. Absolutely perfect experience.

Beautiful Venue

The Arboretum offers a unique space for your wedding day! We were able to rent both buildings for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and have the entire grounds to use for the weekend. The staff is very friendly and easy going and made for such a smooth wedding day. Most vendors in Waco have used the Arboretum before which makes for a smooth and easy wedding day! Definitely recommend this venue!
