Lush Gardens for Timeless Baltimore Weddings

Cylburn Arboretum is a Baltimore wedding venue where more than 200 acres of gardens, woodland trails, and historic architecture create a peaceful escape without leaving the city. Located along Greenspring Avenue, this botanical retreat offers couples a choice between outdoor garden ceremonies, the Victorian-era Cylburn Mansion, and the contemporary Vollmer Center. Think romantic gardens, architectural character, and a guest list that doesn't require a weekend in the countryside.
