Amazing location for pictures, serenity, and balance. I couldn’t have picked a better venue and my day was perfect ♥️ Reviewed on 17-06-2023
Amanda Meffley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 We absolutely loved our wedding here. The grounds are perfectly maintained and gorgeous! We used the room upstairs and it was perfect for our smaller wedding of 65. Our guests loved the views, the ability to roam the grounds freely, the golf cart transportation to the ceremony site and the amazing care Veronica took of us. We would definitely recommend you have your wedding here! Reviewed on 06-09-2022
Lizzie Ritter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 Veronica is the wedding and event coordinator for Schedel's and she is INCREDIBLE! She let us borrow a cute board with clips to hang our seating chart and a bunch of other items that helped make our wedding look fantastic! She also helped us with all the aspects of our wedding and lessened our stress immensely! Schedel's was also absolutely beautiful on our hot late May wedding! Reviewed on 13-06-2018

Naoko Takahashi(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-05-2018 I had never planned a wedding before (my mom planned mine) and it was up to me to prepare our son and daughter-in-law's wedding celebration. The Schedel Arboretum and Gardens in Elmore, OH turned out to be the perfect venue. The events coordinator for the gardens, Veronica Sheets, was so very helpful, making suggestions, offering advice, providing contact information for potential vendors.Schedel Gardens is the subject of many online photos capturing the four seasons of beauty. Since the bride and groom live on the west coast, their first visit to the gardens was the day before their wedding! We had tentatively selected a spot for their wedding ceremony, but they were given a tour of the garden before their rehearsal to make sure that spot would still be their first choice.We were a bit nervous about an outdoor wedding in early May, but were blessed with a perfect day. Thanks to Veronica and her staff, everything went as planned. They were always a few steps ahead of us, looking to where their assistance might be needed. The fact that our guests told us what a great time they had proves that.Most important, the bride and groom enjoyed their evening in the spotlight. I'm very grateful to all the help I received from the folks at Schedel Arboretum and Gardens. It's a hidden gem in Northwest Ohio that is open to the public.

Tori Lee(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-08-2014 The rules for Schedel left little to be desired. There were too many, and it scared the people in my bridal party and my photographer. They were ridiculously strict. The place itself was beautiful, and the director did a wonderful job in setting up the trellis (she did the decorations for us!!!) and the ceremony site itself. If not for those strict guidelines, I wouldn't have been as put off. Otherwise, we had an amazing wedding and I wouldn't have changed a thing about where the ceremony was located.

Elizabeth Wineland(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2012 The venue is a little expensive, but we loved our ceremony and reception there. It was so beautiful and we got some great pictures in the gardens. The service was great, but be prepared to rent a tent, bring your own cater, and know that the bar is not included in the price of the venue. Reviewed on 23-07-2012
