Rent Our Space
Weddings and Facility Rental
The Northland Arboretum, located in the heart of Brainerd and Baxter, was founded with the closure of the Brainerd landfill in 1972. The 540+ acre green space is a member supported non-profit that focuses on education, recreation and conservation. This unique property has beautiful gardens tucked beneath mature trees that make it a glorious place to have an outdoor wedding.
The Visitor Center has two levels, each with their own kitchenette, to host celebrations. The upper level room looks out onto a gorgeous deck and boasts high timber framed ceilings. The lower level decor has recently been updated and spills out into a downstairs pavilion area.
No matter what the season, the Northland Arboretum is perfect place to host your party or wedding. Give us a call at the Arb, 829-8770, to secure your date!
