Here’s some information to better acquaint you with the sculpture garden and make your arrival easy as (wedding) cake…

ABOUT THE VENUE

Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park, museum, and arboretum in Hamilton, New Jersey. It is mid-way between New York and Philadelphia, and 15 minutes from Princeton. As our guest, we invite you to come early and walk around (bring your comfy shoes and a camera!). You’ll find nearly 300 contemporary sculptures sited on 42 beautifully tended, plus peacocks (!) and koi fish in the ponds.

When you arrive through the front entrance, an attendant will direct you to park at the Seward Johnson Center for the Arts (the big brick building on the left-hand side) An event assistant will greet and direct you to the event location you as you arrive to the main welcome center. Parking is free. For our guests with mobility impairments, you can contact Grounds For Sculpture in advance to arrange golf cart transportation to and from the ceremony. They also rent scooters and wheelchairs in the Welcome Center on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our event will take place rain or shine. Nothing can stop us (we may just have to spend more time indoors)!
