Wedding parties are limited to no more than 100 guests, owing to availability of parking. For parties of 60 - 100 guests, car pool as much as
possible! One person per car should definitely be avoided, so please advise guests ahead of time. For any guest who has difficulty in walking, or
for anyone carrying a lot of equipment, such as musicians or photographers, then we recommend they park on the rough grassed area to the
right of the driveway as they enter, which will be closer to the gardens.
PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS GOOD DIRECTIONS.
Bride's changing facility is for the bride only ( although bridesmaids/attendants and the "Moms" may of course be there if the brides wishes it).
We ask that the remaining wedding party/guests all arrive dressed and ready. Bride may drive right up to the building and park alongside.
Rosewood Gardens provides a smoke free environment and we ask that everyone respect this. However, for the benefit of our guests, we have
designated the lower gravelled parking area only (not the driveway) as an area for smoking.
No hard liquor is permitted on the premises. Wine/champagne for toasting at receptions is O.K. Bottles, cans and plastic drinking cups must
be safely disposed of and not left around.
Restrooms are located on the lower deck area.
Couples should stay within their designated time at the Gardens. We ask that no one arrive any earlier than one hour before the scheduled
ceremony, unless prior arrangements have been made. For guests (other than the immediate wedding party) it is best not to arrive any earlier
than 30 minutes prior to the ceremony.
Especially on hot days, we do permit soft drinks and bottled water in the garden area, however, we do expect all guests to dispose of their trash
prior to leaving. Garbage receptacles are located in the car park area, lower deck area and in the area leading into the Wine & Roses Garden.
Flower petals can look very attractive when scattered along the aisleway, but please use fresh or freeze dried, and not silk. Aisle runners are not
permitted as they may cause guests to slip or trip.
If electricity is required for music, please notify us ahead of time, so that we can ensure it is laid on and ready.
For all guests, especially children, we do ask that you stay on the recognized paths, walkways and lawned areas and that the property be
respected at all times.
