FAQs
Question
Is parking available on site?
Answer
There is on-site parking available in the main lot and additional parking in the overflow area. Accessible parking for disabled guests is located next to the Visitor Center and there will be a golf cart available for those who need it. Guests are welcome to leave their car overnight if needed, however it needs to be removed before 10:00am on Saturday. Please keep in mind that the parking lot will be gated overnight, and therefore inaccessible, until the Arboretum opens again the following morning.
Question
Will there be a shuttle available?
Answer
We have arranged a complimentary shuttle to and from the wedding venue and main hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott, that can accommodate 48 people. The shuttle will depart from the Courtyard by Marriott at 3:30pm for the ceremony starting at 4:30pm. Later in the evening, there will be two shuttle departures from the venue. The first departure will leave Tyler Arboretum at 9:30pm to return guests to the Courtyard by Marriott. The second departure will leave Tyler Arboretum at 10:30pm to take guests to the after party location. Uber and Lyft are also available.
Question
Are Uber and Lyft available in the area?
Answer
Yes! Uber and Lyft are both available in the area!
Question
Is the wedding outside?
Answer
Yes! We are hoping for good weather so we can have the ceremony outside, under the gorgeous ginkgo tree. Guests will have to walk on grass to get to the ceremony, so good footwear is recommended. Cocktail hour will be in the barn, followed by dinner in the large white reception tent behind the barn. The reception tent will have heaters in case it is on the colder side.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Dress to impress in semi-formal attire. Men, a suit and tie are appropriate. Ladies, a cocktail dress or dressy separates will be lovely.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Although we adore your children, we have decided to make our big day an adults-only event. Wondering if we could make an exception?! Just reach out to Laura at soontobesofield@gmail.com!
