FAQs

Question

Is there parking available at the Sri Lakshmi Temple?

Answer

Yes! The temple has a large, dedicated parking lot with plenty of free spaces. You won't have any trouble finding a spot right next to the venue.

Question

What is the parking situation at Rosebud Bar & Kitchen?

Answer

Being in the heart of Davis Square, Somerville, parking at the restaurant is a bit different. There is no dedicated private lot, but there are several options: Metered Street Parking: Available along Summer Street and Elm Street. Public Lots: The Buena Vista Lot and the Day Street Lot are both within a 3-5 minute walk. Pro Tip: Since it’s a Wednesday evening, we highly recommend using rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) if you are staying in the city to avoid the hassle of finding a spot!

Question

How do I get from the morning ceremony to the evening reception?

Answer

The drive from Ashland to Somerville typically takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on mid-day traffic. We’ve built in a "recharge" break between 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm to allow everyone time to drive back, check into hotels, or freshen up.
