Guests are welcome to arrive at the venue early and walk around the botanical gardens prior to the start of the ceremony. Shuttles will be available from the Yours Truly Hotel. Guests not staying at the hotel are still welcome to take the shuttle.
We will have a welcome cocktail hour for all guests following the rehearsal dinner. After sharing in drinks, hors d'oeuvres, desserts, and a few short speeches, everyone is invited to walk down to the Lincoln Memorial as a group to see the monuments at night. The welcome party starts 6:00 p.m., and we will begin walking to the Lincoln Memorial at 8:00 p.m. for guests who'd like to join.
