Q + A

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

With the ceremony starting at 4:15pm, we recommend guests arriving to the church by 4:00pm!

What is the dress code?

We know dress codes can be confusing so hopefully the following information is helpful! For our summer formal wedding, a tuxedo is not required for men, but can be worn if preferred. If opting for a suit, a tie is expected. For women, a floor or ankle length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit fit the bill! Given August heat and the cocktail hour being outside, we recommend light and flowy attire!

Is there a hotel block?

Yes! Please refer to the travel page for specific Marriott details and additional hotel options. If you discover the hotel block is full, please reach out and we may be able to increase the allotment of rooms.

Will the events take place indoors or outdoors?

Both the ceremony and reception will be indoors. The cocktail hour will be outside on the terrace, with the indoor sunroom available as needed.

Will transportation be provided?

No. Guests may drive to the venue spaces or utilize ride sharing apps. The distance between the ceremony and reception venues is just about four miles!

Is there parking available at the venues?

Yes! The church has two large parking lots available for guests to use. There will be complimentary valet parking at Congressional, but guests are also allowed to self-park if preferred.

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Due to the venue spaces' preferred maximum numbers, we are not able to accommodate everyone with a plus one. Plus ones will be clearly indicated on the formal invitations!

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We kindly ask guests to silence all cell phones during the ceremony and refrain from taking photos and videos!

What is the best way to RSVP?

When you receive your formal invitation, you will find instructions on how to RSVP via this wedding website. Prompt replies are most appreciated! All replies are requested no later than July 17th.
