FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is no dedicated parking at either the ceremony or reception. We suggest all guests use Uber, Lyft, or taxi as there is limited street parking at both locations.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

There are many hotels located within walking distance of both the ceremony and reception. The reception is located about 5 minutes away from the ceremony, so we suggest guests either walk or take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to get around.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive by 2:45 to be seated at the church. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00pm.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love all your kids - given the location of the reception, we kindly ask all kids to stay at home.

Question

How do I book touristy things?

Answer

We would highly recommend reaching out to your respective Congressional office which has a dedicated tour coordinator who can provide any and all information you may be interested in. If you’re not sure who your Representative is, just ask! For a general, comprehensive list of tour sites, a tour information brochure, or a monthly visitors guide put together by Jake's former office, please visit https://norman.house.gov/serving-you/tour-request.htm

Question

What if I don't own a tuxedo?

Answer

While we prefer black tie, a dark suit is perfectly fine.

Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be located inside St. Stephen-Martyr Church, the cocktail hour will take place outdoors in the shade but can be moved inside depending on weather, and the entire reception area will be tented.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP no later than March 20, 2023.
