FAQ

The Wedding Website of Halle Upshaw and Ryan Sparks
Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes before the ceremony begins. This gives you time to park, find your seat, and settle in before we start.

Question

Where do I park at the venue?

Answer

Limited parking is available on‑site through a self‑pay metered system. Simply scan the QR code to pay. Rates are: • 1 hour or less: $4.07 • Up to 4 hours: $9.18 • Up to 9 hours: $15.25 • Over 9 hours (to close): $23.39 We recommend selecting the 9‑hour option to avoid tickets. Parking can be limited during busy times, so carpooling or using Uber/Lyft is encouraged for an easier arrival
