The venue has two large parking lots close to the museum shop which are free; simply follow the signs when you arrive. You are permitted to leave your car overnight for pick up the next day if needed- however please provide your name, phone number, and make/model of your car to the cashier at the museum shop if you intend to leave your car overnight. Thank you!
When you arrive, please enter the museum shop and proceed through the shop to the brick path. Follow the brick path and take the first right to proceed into the Statue Garden, where light refreshments will be served prior to the ceremony. The ceremony will be located in the Blue Ridge Yard, which can be entered via a direct path from the Statue Garden. After the ceremony, please follow the gravel path to the lawn area surrounding the Hilltop Pavilion for a cocktail hour.
Restrooms are located inside the museum shop, where you first enter the venue.
Our event is semi formal, so tuxes and gowns are welcome, as are suits and cocktail dresses. The weather is looking to be on the chilly side, especially after sunset, so we will be providing tent siding for the Pavilion and heaters for the cocktail hour and reception, but the ceremony will be outdoors so please plan accordingly and bring warm clothes!
