Weddings in the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden
Tranquility, simplicity and beauty are the very essence of a Japanese garden.
Unique to the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden, landmark works of contemporary sculpture by international masters offer thoughtful, thought-provoking aesthetics, in keeping with the essence of the Japanese garden tradition and philosophy.
The DeVos Japanese Garden begins with an artful design by Hoichi Kurisu and the firm Kurisu International. His work ranks among the finest Japanese gardens outside of Japan, among them Portland Japanese Garden (Oregon), Anderson Gardens (Rockford, Illinois), and Morikami Museum and Japanese Garden (Delray Beach, Florida).
