About Cox Arboretum MetroPark

A wedding at Cox Arboretum MetroPark puts you among 174 acres of trees, gardens, forest and prairie on the south side of Dayton. The setting that photographers and videographers love most is the Allée: two rows of 50 London plane trees under a covered arbor form a natural aisle, edged with hydrangeas and geraniums. It holds up to 200 guests, and that long green aisle is made for a slow processional on video and wedding photos looking back toward your guests.

You can hold the wedding ceremony outdoors or in. Besides the Allée, there is the Maimon Memorial Garden, where an arbor and gate lead to a wooden pavilion with limestone columns, with room for 200, electricity and chairs to rent. The Great Lawn beside the education center comes with a tent set either with rows of chairs or round tables. Indoors, the Huffman Gallery has glass walls from end to end looking out on the gardens and seats about 150 for a ceremony. Something is in bloom through much of the year, so the gardens around you will look different in May than in October.

For the wedding reception, the Fifth Third Conference Center has a white fir ceiling, a big stone fireplace with a twin fireplace on the patio, a dance floor and windows over the grounds, seating 100 banquet style. The Huffman Gallery adds space for larger groups, and a Great Lawn tent rental includes both rooms. Rentals come through the James M. Cox, Jr. Arboretum Foundation, membership is required, and caterers must come from its approved list. Guests walk to the garden sites, so plan comfortable shoes for the wedding day.

Call the Arboretum Foundation to check dates and membership.
Walk the Allée or garden with your photographer and videographer at your ceremony time.
