Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our wedding takes place on specific areas of the grounds, but the entire Fredrick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park are open for our guests starting at 1 p.m. We hope you find time to enjoy its beauty before our cocktail hour begins at 4:30 p.m. Trams will begin departing at 5 p.m. to bring guests to the waterfall. Reminder, if you are exploring the gardens please plan your time accordingly to be at the Waterfall before 6 p.m. for our Ceremony. For our friends and family bringing their kids to our special day, there is a great children's garden and play area for them to explore! The greenhouse conservatory spaces, the Tassell-Wisner-Bottrall English Perennial Garden and the Stewart and Barbara Padnos Rooftop Sculpture Garden will be available during the reception.
