The Atrium at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

The park is very beautiful, its layout is very nice. But please update the web according to any situation about opening. Today it says open on web but it’s actually closed due to the weather.
I also wish it opens at sunrise and close at sunset in all seasons.

I got married here June 2015 and I definitely have to say that the atrium was on my side. I live in Hawaii so all of my planning had to be done over the phone and since there is a 6hr time difference the times to contact them were super awkward. HOWEVER, they were amazing with everything. They accommodated to all of my needs and were more than helpful. Wayne was OVER the limit amazing with us and made sure everything went according to my plan and was pretty lenient about certain needs. Over all, the price is worth it!
The only think I would have negative to say is, I don’t like the fact that they MAKE you get the alcohol services from Great Blue Heron! Not only are they super over priced but completely rude when making reservations and because they KNOW that you HAVE to pick them (and obviously I’m not going to NOT have alcohol at my wedding) they take advantage of that.
The venue makes up for the 5 stars though as well as the service.

I have mixed reviews about using meadowlark for events. I didn’t use the atrium, I used the lilac pavilion.
The Pros:
— After initial contact I did receive a call back within 24 hours (sometimes not the same day) from someone at the offices regarding questions I had.
— They were very easy to work with regarding the contract. Presently the contract is not end user friendly at all but they did make a lot of concessions without any trouble.
— The setting was very pretty and worked well for our event
— The chairs provided are nice and they have a good selection of tables that do need some kind of covering.
The cons:
— At first it was a little hard to get a call back or someone to email me back so I had to go directly to their offices to get information.
— The space was not cleaned prior to our event from the last event and had to spend 30 mins cleaning the space before we could get started setting up for ours.
— When I emailed them regarding the amount of tables and chairs we would need, they simply responded to where they were located rather then having them ready for us.
— The bartender wasn’t very professional and took off for 15 – 20 mins a couple times during the event.
— With it being a new space for meadowlark and having very few bookings, they wouldn’t reduce the price of the space which I think was a little high, all things considered.
Would I used them again? Maybe, but only if specific things were changed.

What a beautiful wedding venue! You’re indoors, but there’s a wandering stream in the middle of the building, as well as 4 trees lit with white Christmas lights. The floor is made out of a cobbled stone material, and a lot of the walls are full-​on windows so you get maximum sunlight (which unfortunately meant it was still pretty hot indoors even at 6PM).
The catering at Meadowlark was better than I’d expect for catered food. Our wedding featured salad, chicken, roast beef, tortellini in vodka sauce, wild rice, mashed potatoes, bread, and mixed vegetables. When I went up for seconds, I focused on the tortellini and roast beef, although others seemed to focus on the chicken.
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding here, you might want to consider that there is absolutely no shade in the summer at 4:30PM. It was a beautiful view, and the bride and groom’s pictures will be amazing, but everyone sweated through the ceremony and some people stood indoors to avoid the heat.
As for pricing, don’t be deterred by the prices on the website — they can offer up to 20% off for Sunday weddings.

I was a guest at a wedding at The Atrium recently and I have never been to a more beautiful venue!!! Everything was perfect!!! I checked out the place for our daughter’s wedding and cannot believe it rents for $ 8000!!! Then you add in the caterer and it is over the top. Use it if you can afford it as it is just fairytale!

My daughter will be getting married this fall and we have selected Meadowlark as the place to have the reception. It is pricey but fabulous. The chef there served us about a dozen different main courses at the food tasting event. Every single meal was 5 star. We ended up with 3 selections if I remember correctly. They also offer the complete open bar for all guests over the age of 21. Only problem with this is you are charged for all guests over 21 regardless if they drink or not. It is just the way it has to be I suppose. Overall we are very excited with what the venue will be for our only daughter on her wedding day.

The Atrium is an excellent choice for a wedding venue, it is gorgeous. My brother is getting married here next October which is why I went to visit today. There is a huge skylight in the center of the building and lots of windows so you have excellent views of the park outside. Inside, there are lots of trees and plants and there is even a stream that cuts through the building. Little bridges allow you to walk over the stream and provide nice photo opportunities.
There is a dance floor in the space and while it isn’t huge, the rest of the floor is stone so it could add more room. There are white lights strung through the trees which adds extra ambiance to the room.
I would definitely recommend this to any one trying to plan a wedding.

There comes an age where almost every month or every other month you are attending a wedding. I’m at the age where most if not all are going through that process of bridezillas or enduring the wrath of a bridezilla.
A beautiful place for a beautiful wedding. There’s a couple of things must be noted. As beautiful as it is to be married outside, you really need to make sure to know where the sun is setting. I love my shades but I don’t really enjoy staring into the sun as the beautiful couple makes their vows. And in all honestly, it doesn’t make for great wedding pictures either.
The Atrium, now what can be said. Many reception halls are 2-​D and flat. It’s just an open space with tables and no dimensions. But here you have depth. For a decent size facility the trees and water moat create a cozy atmosphere under the starlit night. But please note, drunk or not, the moat is not a public bathroom for the boys.
