Work backward from the ceremony entrance
For Meadow Brook Hall, use the estate destination on Oakland University campus and obtain the event coordinator’s loading instructions. At Van Hoosen Farm, distinguish an outdoor ceremony from an indoor Calf Barn event. The farmhouse and Calf Barn are across the street from each other, so a generic museum drop-off may be unsuitable. Include loading time in each wave and obtain the planner’s ceremony-arrival target.
