When are rehearsals?
Thursdays for couples getting married that weekend. Each couple is scheduled for a private one-hour rehearsal window.

Is staff present?
Rehearsals are self-guided. No staff or coordinator is on site.

What can we do during our rehearsal?
Walk the aisle, practice your processional, and get comfortable in the ceremony space under the oak tree.

Can we decorate, set chairs, or drop items off?
No — rehearsal time is for ceremony walk-throughs only. All buildings and décor areas remain locked.

Can our officiant attend?
Yes. Vendors, equipment, and sound checks are not permitted.

What about arriving early or staying late?
Please arrive and depart within your scheduled hour so both couples have a calm, private rehearsal.

Rehearsals no not need to happen onsite.

*We are not able to accommodate rehearsal dinners. There are many amazing restaurant options in nearby communities.

Our number one recommendation is an easy 25 minute drive straight down State Route 257 to Bridge Park in Dublin, Ohio.

Another option is Marysville, a 20 minute drive.

There are many Airbnb and VRBO options in Delaware, Marysville and Dublin.

No. Aspen & Alston provides a gorgeous garden venue, tables, upgraded wedding chairs, and many decor pieces for the allotted amount of time. Linens can be rented through us, but are NOT included in the rental fee. You are also welcome to bring your own linens. For details regarding our linen package please click here.

In the case of rain guests sit at their tables and the A&A team moves the few tables down the middle of the room to create a beautiful aisle. This is a beautiful option in case the weather truly is not cooperating. It does not require the room flip that other venues require, which would be disruptive to your event. Anything you had planned for your garden ceremony is reworked by our team for your indoor ceremony.

We cannot guarantee we can move anything you have hanging on or from the oak tree.

Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.
