FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Question

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

Answer

For guests within driving distance of the venue, there is free on-site parking.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our afternoon ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors in the garden, while reception will take place indoors. Guests will walk to the garden on paved pathways, but will need to step on grass briefly to take their seats. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please try to arrive at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park at 5:00pm. The ceremony will be held at a waterfall within the gardens. There will be 3 separate shuttles to bring guests to the waterfall. Any late comers will have to wait on the sidelines until the coordinator can seat them.

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

We have reserved a room block at Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport. Use the link provided on our travel tab or mention the Joyce and Matthew Trebonsky wedding while booking to receive our reduced rate.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal. Suit jackets aren’t required, as it is an outdoor ceremony. Expect flowing silhouettes, pastels, florals, and sensible shoes suitable for walking on grass

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guests list just to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer
