Questions from Rockwall couples
How far is The Gardenia from Rockwall?
76 miles, about an hour and 15 minutes without traffic. Take the President George Bush Turnpike west to I-35E, then north through Denton on I-35. The venue is at 775 S Pecan Creek Trail, Valley View, TX 76272.
How early should Rockwall guests leave on the wedding day?
Leaving Rockwall at 3pm on a Saturday, the drive takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Ask guests to set out about an hour and 45 minutes before the ceremony, which leaves time to park and find a seat.
How do Rockwall 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 Rockwall at 11pm is about an hour and 15 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 Rockwall guests stay?
For a late night, book rooms in Denton, 20 to 25 minutes from the venue, so Rockwall guests can skip the long drive home. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center is our couples' favorite.
Can our Rockwall vendors work at The Gardenia?
Yes. The Gardenia is open vendor, so the Rockwall photographer, florist or caterer you already trust is welcome. Several teams from around Rockwall have worked here already, and they are listed above.
