Weddings in the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden

Weddings in the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden

Tranquility, simplicity and beauty are the very essence of a Japanese garden.

Highly unique to the Japanese Garden, landmark works of contemporary sculpture by international masters are included, offering thoughtful and thought-provoking aesthetics in keeping with the essence of the Japanese garden tradition and philosophy.

The 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, including Portland Japanese Garden (Oregon), Anderson Gardens (Rockford, IL), Morikami Museum and Japanese Garden (Delray Beach, Florida).
