FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Our celebration will take place outdoors in a garden in August, so we encourage guests to dress in garden party attire—think polished yet comfortable for a warm, outdoor setting. For example, women might opt for a flowy midi or maxi dress in light fabrics or floral prints, paired with sandals or wedges, while men might consider a lightweight suit or blazer with chinos and a button-down shirt. Please also keep in mind that the event will be on grass, so we recommend choosing footwear accordingly—flats, wedges, or block heels tend to work best on the lawn.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes! There is plenty of on-site parking available at The Gardens Wedding Center for both the ceremony and the reception. - Location: The parking lot is located directly on the venue grounds, making it a very short walk to the historic chapel and the garden areas. - Accessibility: The venue offers dedicated wheelchair-accessible parking spaces and accessible entrances to ensure all guests can navigate the property comfortably. - Convenience: Since everything takes place at one location, you won't need to worry about moving your car between the ceremony and the party.
Question
Can I take pictures/video during the ceremony?
Answer
We truly appreciate your excitement to capture the moment! For our ceremony, we kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos or videos so everyone can be fully present. We’ve hired a professional photographer who will beautifully capture everything, so you can relax and enjoy the experience with us. That said, once the ceremony has concluded, you’re more than welcome to take photos and videos throughout the rest of the evening—we’d love for you to capture and share the celebration!
