Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes. We've already sent in all submitted allergy and dietary requests. If you need to amend anything, please contact us directly.

Question

Are kids welcome at the wedding?

Answer

Due to limited numbers, we are only able to accommodate children in the wedding party. If you are traveling in from out of town and want to enjoy Frederick with your family, we ask that you arrange for childcare on Saturday night. We hope that parents take this opportunity for a Saturday night out or weekend away!

Question

Can kids come to the Welcome Dinner and the Farewell Brunch?

Answer

Yes - please make sure to flag for Elisabeth and Parsa by emailing epwed2024@gmail.com so that they have the right headcount.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says your date's name or "and Guest”, then yes! Due to limited numbers, we are only able to accommodate specified guests only.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Black-Tie Optional: Tuxes and gowns are preferred, but not required. Here's a fun article with examples: https://www.brides.com/black-tie-optional-wedding-attire-4800698. We recommend bringing a cover-up as the weather could get chillier in the evening.

Question

If I'm flying in from out of town, should I rent a car?

Answer

Frederick is 1 hour from IAD, BWI, and DCA. Renting a car will be the easiest, and there is free parking at the Hilton Garden Inn Frederick. You can also take Uber/Lyft from IAD, BWI, or DCA to the Hilton Garden Inn Frederick for ~$100 (one way). If you fly in and out of BWI, another option is booking a seat on the bus shuttle service, BayRunner Shuttle. Once you arrive in Frederick, walking, Uber/Lyft, or our wedding day shuttles will be the easiest ways to get to our events!

Question

What time should I arrive at the wedding?

Answer

If you plan to drive separately from the provided shuttles, please arrive at Strong Mansion no later than 4:20 pm.

Question

Is there parking for the wedding?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of free parking at both the Hilton Garden Inn Frederick (if you would like to park and hop on the shuttle) and at the Strong Mansion.

Question

Will Chip and Rosie be at the wedding?

Answer

Sadly, Strong Mansion doesn't allow pets on the property, but the girls will celebrate with us in spirit!
