That is so sad to here since she probably put so much thought into that place. I searched far and wide for places since I wanted an outside place in Feb that had indoor just in case. We ended up at the Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. Very much like the Arboretum yet you are not stuck with using the Arboretum vendors, but can choose your own. Takes a bit more work, but we loved how we didn't have to pay an exhorbitant amount for alcohol since we were allowed to bring whatever we wanted as long as we also had servers. The Arboretum is good as well for beauty. Another idea is the historic Old City Park and the Arlington house (off of Turtle Creek). Old City Park has a great area since you rent the whole space I believe and then can have a band and many tables underneath a covering. I may be wrong in the name of the Arlington house. It is South of Lemmon on Turtle Creek on the West side. It's real pretty and likely you've passed it not knowing what it's like inside. Great grounds and real pretty. Pricey to park, though. If you want a hotel, I loved the Stoneleigh. It has a real big balcony for guests to be on while they look at downtown. Not big enough to have the wedding outside though. Don't think there is any hotel you can do that with. Good Luck!
