6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
For guests arriving on Friday, we will be hosting a welcome party with drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres. Children are welcome to attend. The gathering will take place at Limani, a beautiful waterfront restaurant at The Wharf specializing in Mediterranean cuisine and traditional Greek specialties. The venue is less than a five-minute walk from our recommended hotels and is located right next to the dock where we will depart on Saturday. We hope you'll join us as we kick off the wedding weekend, reconnect with friends and family, and enjoy views of the Potomac River, the same waterway we'll be cruising during our wedding celebration the following evening. Business casual, cocktail attire, or anything in between is welcome for this indoor event.
4:45 pm - 9:00 pm
Guests are kindly requested to arrive by 4:45PM for boarding. The vessel will depart promptly at 5:00PM. The ceremony and full reception, including cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, will take place aboard the National Elite as we cruise along the Potomac River in Washington, DC. The National Elite is a three-level yacht-style dining vessel featuring a fully enclosed climate-controlled dining deck and cocktail lounge, an open-air glass-enclosed aft deck off the cocktail lounge, and a third-level open-air sky deck. Guests will be able to enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the evening, including views of the DC waterfront and monuments along the Potomac. For security purposes, the marine crew will conduct a brief bag inspection at the gate prior to boarding. We invite all guests to be seated and ready for departure to ensure a smooth and timely start to our celebration. We will be sailing for 4 hours.
9:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Please do not feel any pressure to attend, but for guests who would like to keep the celebration going after the wedding, we have reserved a private karaoke room at Live-K Karaoke from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM. Located just a four-minute walk from our boat’s dock at The Wharf, Live-K is conveniently situated on the same block as our recommended hotels, making it an easy stop before heading in for the night. Our group will have exclusive use of a private room where guests are welcome to sing, relax, and continue celebrating together. Live-K also offers additional beverages and late-night food options available for purchase. Please note that Live-K is an adults-only venue
