Ceremony Information
The Arboretum is providing complimentary parking and entrance for our guests. Park in the main lot and walk to the main entrance. Give your name and say you are here for the Simpson-Klansek wedding.
After entering Gate 1 and parking in the Main Lot, enter the garden through the Main Ticket Booth. You then take a right onto the paseo and head straight passing the Trial Gardens on the right hand side. Once you reach the intersection of the paseo and the DeGolyer driveway, you will take a left onto the driveway and walk towards the left side of the driveway. Nancy’s Garden will be to the left of DeGolyer before reaching the Pergola.
We recommend getting to the arboretum around 12:30pm so you are not rushed to find the ceremony. It is about a 7-10 minute walk from the parking lot to Nancy's Garden. Keep an eye out for friendly faces ready to provide guidance!
