If you could get married anywhere, would you choose:

a garden ceremony?
a mountain overlook?
a beachfront wedding?
a grand ballroom?

We're a little partial to garden ceremonies, especially when they're held at the stunning Edith J. Carrier Arboretum at JMU. 💚

Our new wedding package combines the beauty of the arboretum with the convenience and elegance of Hotel Madison for a seamless, unforgettable experience.
