The ceremony will take place in the beautiful Rose Garden at Elizabeth Park. While this is a public space, we will have a section blocked off for our ceremony for about an hour. However, please note that there will still be other park-goers nearby, so the area won’t be fully private. Look for signs or [balloons/flags] to guide you to our designated area within the Rose Garden. Kids: We love our family and friends and want to ensure everyone has a great time at our wedding! After careful consideration, we’ve decided to make our celebration an adult-only event. We hope you understand and look forward to celebrating with you! What to Expect: The ceremony will be short, but park visitors will be enjoying the park nearby. Feel free to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier to settle in and take pictures. Seats are limited. Parking: Set GPS to Pond Cafe and park near the cafe for a shorter walk to the Rose Garden.
