What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Please arrive at 4:30 PM so we can start promptly 5:00 PM. Our ushers will be there to welcome you.

Can I RSVP yet?

Not just yet! Formal invitations will be sent in July, and you’ll have the option to RSVP either electronically or by mail.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, the dress code is black tie optional, blending formal elegance with our outdoor setting. Think black tie with a lighter summer feel, where pastels and bold colors, lighter fabrics, and comfortable silhouettes are encouraged.

Guests are encouraged to wear a floor-length gown, a long cocktail dress, or a tuxedo or suit. None of the events will take place on grass, so choose any footwear that makes you feel comfortable. Looking for inspiration? Check out this pinterest board.

Can I bring a guest / my children?

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Due to the intimate nature of our event, we’re unable to accommodate children or additional guests. Your invitation will specify the number of guests included, so please refer to it for clarification. We appreciate your understanding!

Will there be an after-party?

We knew you’d ask. Details will be revealed the only proper way — by word of mouth.

What is the best way to get to the venue?

We recommend using ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft / taxi to avoid parking issues.

Any local hair or make up recommendations?

Yes! here are a few close to the venue:

• Drybar - Dupont Circle — Perfect for a quick, polished blowout.

• Sephora - Connecticut Ave — Get a complete make up look with a custom-tailored service.

• Glamsquad - On location — Professional artists who come to you with experience in wedding hair and makeup.

What if I need to update my guest information or RSVP in the future?

Please reach out by the deadline on your invitation and we’ll help you make any needed updates.

Who can I contact if I have questions?

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Laura or Josh. Please note that we may be busy with wedding preparations, so we appreciate your patience!
