To get to the Bissell Tree House, all guests will ride the Funicular (ADA compliant) up to the venue. Each trip takes about 10 minutes round trip and can accommodate up to 30 people. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure you will be able to find a seat in time for the ceremony at 5 p.m.
The Bissell Tree House is located at the John Ball Zoo. Please utilize the free parking in the main parking lot, enter through the main gate, and you will find signs and attendants guiding guests to the Funicular. Please ask an employee at the gate if you need help!
Although we love our guests and the younger additions to our families and friends, we are having an adult only wedding. Our space is limited at our venue and we feel that an adult-only event will allow us to spend more time with our closest friends and family. Thank you for your understanding.
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Downtown Grand Rapids, MI. It is approximately 2.5 miles away from our venue. See the travel page for more information!
