We're asking guests to dress in semi-formal attire. Think dressy but comfortable. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors in the gardens. Ladies might prefer wedges or block heels for the garden paths, and gentlemen can opt for lightweight suits as Houston evenings can be warm.
We love your little ones, but we've decided to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives parents a chance to enjoy a night off!
Due to venue capacity, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus-one, it will be indicated on your invitation. Please indicate your guest's name when you RSVP.
Houston in late May offers beautiful spring weather with average temperatures around 87°F (31°C) during the day. Our ceremony is scheduled for early evening when it's cooler and more comfortable. The venue has both covered areas and air-conditioned spaces. We recommend light, breathable fabrics and staying hydrated!
Yes! Free parking is available at Zilker Botanical Garden. The parking lot is located directly adjacent to the venue entrance. We also recommend using rideshare services like Uber or Lyft if you prefer not to drive.
Please RSVP by April 1, 2026. This helps us provide an accurate headcount to our caterer and finalize seating arrangements. You can RSVP using the form on this website.
The ceremony will be outdoors in the beautiful garden setting. In case of inclement weather, we have a covered backup location at the same venue.
