For couples dreaming of a celebration that’s simple, heartfelt, and wrapped in nature’s charm, our ceremony-only and elopement options offer the perfect fit.
Choose a designated venue for a ceremony-only reservation, or opt for a small elopement tucked into the landscape — maybe a blooming collection in spring or beside your favorite art installation. With so many beautiful corners across Bernheim, there’s always a magical spot to say “I do”.

Perfect for intimate celebrations, elopements allow couples to exchange vows in a quiet corner of the Arboretum or natural areas, from blooming collections in spring to the peaceful spaces near beloved art installations.
