We're getting close, folks. Probably close enough that you've already got directions to the wedding venue, but just in case...Pictured at left is where it's going down: the Garden Center at Lake Merritt, 666 Bellevue Avenue. Here's how to get there.
From the Washington Inn or Jack London Square in downtown Oakland:
Head north on Broadway. Take a right on Grand Avenue (you’ll see Ozumu restaurant on the far left corner). Go down Grand Avenue three blocks until you see the lake. Cross Harrison and make the next (soft) right onto Bellevue Avenue (this is an entrance to a park with a little booth there). Pass Children's Fairyland on your right. The garden center will be on your left.
From San Francisco, the north, or the Peninsula:
Take I-580 E. Take the Harrison Street exit, and turn right onto Harrison Street. Go down the hill on Harrison Street, and turn left on Grand Avenue (this is the third stoplight you will see. You can see the lake from this intersection). Turn left on Grand Avenue. Go through a stoplight, and the first right will be Bellevue Avenue (this is an entrance to a park with a little booth there). Pass Children's Fairyland on your right. The garden center will be on your left.

From the south or east:
Take I-580 W. Take the Grand Avenue exit. Turn right on Grand Avenue and drive about 0.7 mile. You'll see the lake to your left. Turn left on Park View Terrace (this is an entrance to a park with a little booth there). If you get to Harrison Street, you've gone too far. Park View Terrace turns into Bellevue Avenue. Pass Children's Fairyland on your right. The garden center will be on your left.
From BART:
Get out at the 19th Street Oakland stop. Head north on Broadway. Turn right on 20th Street and walk towards the lake. Turn left on Harrison Street. Turn right on Grand Avenue. Pass Children's Fairyland on your right, and make a soft right on Bellevue Avenue. Continue on Bellevue Avenue and you will see the garden center on your left.
Also: We have reserved a few parking spots along Bellevue (tell the attendant in the booth you're there for the MacDonald-Saleski wedding) but they might fill up. There's street parking on Grand Avenue if the lot fills up.
See you soon!

This must be a perfect place for a great event! Event centers in Denver, Colorado also are very accessible to people. I do prefer a event center (Denver, Colorado) that is easy to be reached and to be found. I never like hassles like parking spaces trouble. It is a good thing that you prioritize your guests for the parking slots.
