Question

How should I get to the church?

We recommend driving to their ceremony as there is parking available on-site. There will be time between the ceremony and reception for you to drop your car off where you are staying or at any of the local parking garages.

Question

How should I get to the reception venue?

Answer

If you are staying at Visitation Hotel Frederick, you are only a 6 minute walk away from our reception venue! If you are not staying in the area or wish to drive to the reception we recommend parking your car at one of the public parking garages nearby. The Court Street Garage and the Carroll Creek Garage are both about a 3 minute walk from our reception venue. There are also plenty of Ubers and Lyfts available in the area if you do not wish to drive yourself. If you are going to enjoy the open bar, please plan a safe ride home.

Can I bring a guest not listed on the invitation?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!

We love your children, but due to space restrictions, we cannot accommodate guests under age 18 on our wedding day unless they are specifically named on your wedding invitation.

During the break between our ceremony and the start of cocktail hour, you are welcome to go back to your hotel and freshen up or if you'd like to get the party started there are multiple bars within walking distance from our reception venue.
