The ceremony will be around 4:30 (exact times still being decided), but you can show up any time before that if you would like to experience the gardens. All of our guests get in for free on the day of the wedding (just tell the front desk you're with the Strandberg/Klingman wedding) and can explore the gardens for as long as you like. You won't be able to wander the gardens during the reception, so we highly recommend doing so beforehand.
Cocktail attire is great, but we're really not picky. We just want you to show up! You'll be walking on pavement, concrete, and wood, so wear shoes for those surfaces. If you're in family photos, you may also be walking on grass, dirt, or mulch. It can get chilly at night in the Bay, so you may want to bring a sweater or wrap, though we will be providing blankets!
The garden is accessible by car, and there is parking available. Lyft and Uber are also great ways to get there.
Yes! You can park anywhere in the UC Botanical Garden parking lot for free. If you plan on drinking, though, then we highly recommend you take a Lyft or Uber!
