This is the front gate. Try to arrive here at 1:50 pm. Everyone should be seated by 2 pm. There will be front gate attendant, they can tell you where the bathroom is.
There are 10 parking spots family and wedding party guests can use for free right next to the gate. You must park here unless you want to buy your own parking ticket in the garden lot. Otherwise please park at Lawrence Hall of Science
Either of the red X's is a parking lot you can park in. If you cannot find parking in the Botanical Garden lot, you can park at Lawrence Hall of Science, which is up the hill (top of the map). And there is a parking lot with limited spaces at the bottom of the hill, just in front of the Redwood Grove (bottom right of map).
We will have a shuttle service driving people up/down the hill to the Botanical Garden. We expect them to be there between 1:20 and 1:45 to take people down.

This is the Redwood Grove where the ceremony will take place. Ariel will probably be on the left, and Clinton on the right (if you want to coordinate sides). We will focus on all taking photos together after the ceremony.
There's a gift shop at the main Botanical Garden, just ACROSS THE STREET from the Redwood Grove. I will check, but I think you can wander around the Botanical Garden if you show up early ahead of the ceremony. The gift shop is excellent.
