Answer

The Farragut North Station (one stop south of the Dupont Circle Station) is the closest to the Cathedral. It is a 4 min. walk away.

Question

Is there parking near the Cathedral?

Answer

There is both garage and street parking. The St. Matthew's Center garage is $5 for weekend days and is next door to the Cathedral. Street parking is very difficult to find in this area. While there are MANY other parking garages located very close to the Cathedral, the next most affordable option is 4 blocks away and charges $7 for a weekend day. It is the Park America located directly next door to this Potbelly: 1200 New Hampshire Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036 Google maps curiously does not show the Park America, so enter the Potbelly address into your map. (Don't worry, they are RIGHT next to each other. You won't miss it!)

We request that very minimal personal photography be taken during the ceremony; we want to see your faces, not your phones! :) Please do not step out, hang out, or hold your phone out into the aisle to snap a picture, and please do not sit at the back of the church to snap a picture. 🙏 We have hired a wonderful photographer and videographer to capture these moments!

Question
