6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
This will be casual!
Thank you to Betsy and Chris Hembling for putting this together! Stop by our favorite cidery any time between 6:30 and 8:30 for a cider and cheese from their in-house cheese counter, Truckle Cheesemongers. Stay for the whole time or pop in for a few minutes before you go adventure around Scott's Addition (see the "Things To Do" section for restaurant suggestions) - either way we will be happy to see you and give you a socially distanced elbow bump or air hug.
11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Garden/Semi-Formal Attire (Feel free to wear sundresses, floral prints and ties, and spring suits.)
Be sure to put the correct church into your GPS (i.e. Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, NOT Sacred Heart Catholic Church). If the building is white marble, you're in the right place! If you see a red brick church, double check your address ("Recalculating!") We encourage all guests to sit near the front of the church - while maintaining social distancing) so we can best share this experience with you. Members of the same household may sit together, and the church is otherwise large enough for separate households to sit six feet apart. Masks mush be worn in the church at all times. You will need to RSVP again with the church in accordance with their COVID-19 protocols, so be on the lookout for that message in mid-April.
12:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Garden Attire (Feel free to wear sundresses, floral prints and ties, and spring suits. The weather is variable in April, so check back before you pack!)
The Linden Row Inn is a 0.6 mile walk or 0.9 mile drive from the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Directions can be found in the FAQ. Upon arrival, let the front desk know you are joining the Hembling-Crone wedding and you will be directed to the courtyard. The Cocktail Hour will run from 12:30 p.m. until 1:30 p.m., with light appetizers and an open bar. Enjoy a glass of champagne, and take advantage of our mimosa making station! We ask that you find your seats promptly at 1:30 p.m. for the entrance and introduction of the wedding party. A variety of menu options catering to many dietary considerations (i.e. gluten free) will be available in our breakfast buffet. If you have special dietary considerations (i.e. kosher, vegan), please let the bride know and we will work to accommodate all needs. The reception will conclude at 4:00 p.m. This courtyard is outside and our vendors are following CDC and state of Virginia guidelines regarding food service and social distancing.
5:00 pm
Wear whatever you want!
After the reception, we will likely head out to a brewery in the Scott's Addition neighborhood. We are going to start at Three Notch'd at 5:00 p.m., then make our way to Strangeaways, and then see where the night takes us! All of the breweries have outdoor spaces set up for social distancing in compliance with CDC and guidelines.
