❖How do I get to Ridgeland Mansion?
Ridgeland Mansion is in west Fairmount Park near the Belmont Plateau, about one mile south of the City Avenue commercial district. It's best to drive, as public transit does not stop nearby. There will be ample parking.
It takes about 35 minutes to get to Ridgeland from the airport by car, and about 10 minutes to get there from the City Avenue commercial district where the hotels are located. To see where the venue is, follow the link on the map below:

❖Is the wedding outside? What if it rains?
The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside. The reception will be in a tent that has some climate control, but it's best to dress for the weather.
If it rains, we'll move the ceremony and cocktail hour into the tent. Parking will be a 5-minute walk from the venue, though, so an umbrella might make sense if there is rain in the forecast.
❖What's the dress code?
We want our guests to feel comfortable and festive while celebrating with us outdoors this September. We suggest cocktail attire, breathable fabrics, florals, suits in any color (no tuxedos!), dress shirts with or without ties, and shoes you can wear on both a lawn and the dance floor.
If it's chilly after sunset, layers might be appropriate. Please don't break the bank for anything too fancy on our account!
❖What time should I arrive?
The ceremony starts at 4:30 pm. We suggest arriving at least 15 minutes early to ensure you have time to park and find your seat.
❖Can I bring a plus one? Kids?
Please! Just be sure to let us know via the RSVP form.
