Questions from Carrollton couples
How far is The Gardenia from Carrollton?
46 miles, about 45 minutes without traffic. Stay on I-35E north all the way to Denton, then continue on I-35 to Valley View. The venue is at 775 S Pecan Creek Trail, Valley View, TX 76272.
How early should Carrollton guests leave on the wedding day?
Leaving Carrollton at 3pm on a Saturday, the drive takes about 45 minutes. Ask guests to set out about an hour and 15 minutes before the ceremony, which leaves time to park and find a seat.
How do Carrollton guests get home after the send-off?
Cars can stay at The Gardenia overnight when needed, so anyone who should not drive after the party can leave the car and ride home with a friend, a shuttle or a rideshare. The drive back to Carrollton at 11pm is about 45 minutes, so a shuttle between a Denton hotel block and the venue saves your guests the late trip. At 11pm, that shuttle reaches the Embassy Suites in Denton in about 25 minutes.
Where should our Carrollton guests stay?
A room block in Denton keeps the drive after the send-off to 20 or 25 minutes, a lot easier than heading back to Carrollton. Our couples most often choose the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center.
Can our Carrollton vendors work at The Gardenia?
Yes, bring your own team. Every vendor is your choice, and the venue host looks after the building all day. Several teams from around Carrollton have worked here already, and they are listed above.
