I believe you can download the application over the internet. We were going to do this but leaning more towards the water by my church.

Ask for Lillian when you call between the hours of 9-5, she is the assistant park director. And depending on what time you are going to be there, you can get a few munchies made at their cafe, really reasonable prices and it will help in delaying of your BP in getting intoxicated!!!!! The cafe is Hidden Oak Cafe, Danielle is the owner, the number is 277-3895. THe food is really great and she works with a lot of the brides that are having their pics there. No lie it's great food and worth it!!!

I think if you call ahead and have a permit Lillian (the park assistant manager) stays later and only the limos for your wedding are allowed in throught the mainenance enterance.

Oh and the Arb closes at 5 or 5:30 between Memorial Day and Labor day. And closes between 4 or 4:30 the rest of the year.

My best friend took her pics there...and it was beautiful....I think you need to book in advance...I THINK!! All I know is the limo guy handled the pass and they gave it to him prior to the wedding. But the pics came out great!!
