Guest questions
The short version.
Exact timing, private location details, and any information specific to your invitation stay inside the invitation flow. These notes cover the shared setting.
Where will the celebration be?
Our exact venue and private timeline are included in your invitation. Once you open it, you will see the complete location, schedule, and RSVP details.
What should I wear?
Garden-chic: festive layers and comfortable shoes suited to garden paths. A light layer is a good idea for an outdoor evening.
Will there be much walking?
Plan for a garden walk between arrival and the celebration. The Garden’s paths are paved or made of crushed limestone, though some areas include steps or uneven terrain. If you need a flatter route, ask admissions for a flat-path tour map when the ground is dry.
Can I bring water or snacks?
Bottled water is permitted in the Garden. The Garden’s visitor guidance reserves other food and beverages for the Visitor Center or select special events, so you do not need to bring refreshments for the garden walk.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are not permitted in the Garden. Certified service animals are welcome.
Can I take photos?
Personal garden photography is welcome. Posed, professional, group, or commercial photography requires an advance private garden rental; tripods during normal business hours and drones on the property are not permitted. Please follow any ceremony-specific photo guidance we share on the day.
Are children welcome?
The Garden welcomes children, with supervision. Your invitation and RSVP will show who is included in your party; please keep children close and remember that the Gardens are a place of reflection rather than a playground.
Is the Garden accessible?
Many paths can be navigated by wheelchairs and strollers when the ground is dry, but some areas have steps or uneven terrain. Please tell us about accessibility needs in your RSVP so we can help you plan.
What happens if it rains?
The Garden says it is open rain or shine. If weather changes any part of our private celebration, we will share an update through the contact information on your RSVP.
How do I RSVP?
Open your private invitation to RSVP. If you do not have an invitation code, the homepage also has a registration path so you can share your contact details and attendance plans with us.
Where are lodging details?
Any wedding lodging information is kept in the invitation and registration flow rather than on this public page. Use the invitation page to see what applies to your party.
Garden facts adapted from the official visitor FAQ, Plan Your Visit, and the official photography policy. Wedding venue and event information is supplied privately through Joe and Blaine’s invitation.
