Parking & Transportation
The areas around the church and reception venue have very limited street parking. ***We strongly suggest carpooling or using ride share apps!*** Metro: The closest metro station is Dupont Circle (1525 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20036). It is an easy 11 minute (0.5 mile) walk from the station to the church. Parking: There are a few nearby parking garages you can reserve in advance on SpotHero. (The 1425 U Street Northwest Parking garage is midway between the ceremony and reception.) Getting to the reception: Following the service, you can walk to the reception! It's only a 16 minute walk (0.8 mile). Be warned, the final stretch is up a gentle hill. But, it's well is worth it to walk through Meridian Park and see the unique view of DC. Electric scooters are also an option for the adventurous!

Airport Information
The greater DC area has 3 major airports. We recommend flying into Washington Reagan Airport (DCA). It is the closest! Dulles International Airport (IAD) is the second best option. Although it is farther away, the Silver Line Metro services the airport and will bring you right into DC. We don't recommend flying into BWI, if possible.

Accommodation recommendations
There are many great Airbnb options in and around DC. Below are three hotel options that are all close to the ceremony and reception - and within blocks of each other. We recommend booking any hotels ASAP. September is the busiest month for hotels in DC. Sadly, none of the hotels have airport shuttles running at this time. But, there is an easy metro journey from DCA to their vicinity. Take an extra day to explore DC! There are free museums, lots of monuments, an impressive food scene, and historic sites to explore.
