Yes! Garfield Park Conservatory has a free parking lot that will be accessible to guests on the south side of the building. Due to construction at the conservatory, a portion of the lot will not be useable. There are 50 spots available in the lot and more (free) street parking available directly in front of the conservatory. There will be a security guard in the lot for the duration of the wedding.
Due to limited capacity at our venue, we are only able to extend an invitation to those who have been addressed on the invite. We appreciate your understanding!
While we love little ones, we kindly request a child-free wedding and will only be able to accommodate the children in our wedding party at the reception.
The CTA Green line, Conservatory - Central Park stop, is just South of the venue entrance.
