Memorial House At Memory Grove Park

This is a garden-party celebration—soft, romantic, and relaxed. We will be dressed in semi-formal attire, but please wear what makes you feel good, and choose comfortable shoes to wander, mingle, and stay awhile.

The ceremony will begin at 4:00 PM by the white columns—please plan to arrive by 3:30 PM to settle in. There is free parking behind a gate, in order to get a spot, you need to arrive around 3:30. Taking an Uber, or even walking from downtown is easy. However, if you prefer to drive, onsite parking is available. Afterward, join us inside the venue for cocktails and light refreshments. Feel free to wander the park, where a winding trail follows the river through the woods. During this time we will head up the hill to take photos in front of the Capitol building. If you’d like to join us, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful view and a perfect photo opportunity. Dinner will be served buffet-style at 5:30 PM, followed by drinks and dancing from 7:00–9:30 PM.
