Train

Washington Metro

In short, we are not recommending our guests use the Metro to arrive at our wedding due to closest station is 3.0 miles away and erratic service patterns. If you choose to use Metro, we recommend ride hailing or taxi service to arrive at the venue from the station. Important tips: The closest station is Vienna/Fairfax - GMU and is a terminal station for the Orange Line. There is planned major construction for the Metro system for the weekend of our wedding that will alter the service patterns for the Blue and Yellow Lines, please keep this in mind if you need to connect to those services. The yellow line will not operate below L'Enfant Plaza and the Blue Line services will terminate at National Airport and not run to Franconia/Springfield. Keep an eye on closing times, as connecting services and train services are often limited in evening hours. As stated above, plan to use rideshare services if arriving via metro.
