Our vision for the evening is a formal, elegant affair; we encourage guests to opt for tuxedos and floor-length gowns. For those choosing other options, we kindly ask for suits or dresses of at least tea or maxi-length (covering the knee), or a formal dress code. Since our wedding party will be in black, we invite you to celebrate with us in any color of your choice—though we ask that you leave white and ivory for the bride. The dress code is important to the couple, so please try your best to look your best - in whatever capacity that may be! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the bride or groom.
Please try to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins (4:30-4:45). You will asked to wait outside until the ceremony ends if you arrive with less than 5 minutes until it is scheduled to start. D.C. is prone to random bouts of traffic, so it's better to be prepared and arrive early than to get left out. In addition, it is the Marine Corps Marathon that weekend and the city will be busier than usual. Please plan ahead, or reach out to ask for advice!
We would love for you to bring a special someone if you were given the option on your invitation. Unfortunately, we only have so many seats available and cannot accomodate extra guests.
We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. We hope you can use this as an excuse for a well-deserved date night.
There is street parking that can be reserved ahead of time. We encourage you to ride-share (Uber, Lyft, etc.) if you will be drinking, or simply walk! It's a central location to the city and is easy to get to.
It is completely up to you how you would like to celebrate with Elliott and Megan. There is no pressure to bring a gift, but if you'd like to give the bride & groom something then we will have a place for it.
Around 30 minutes.
Yes! Your options include (more to come)
There will be seats saved during the ceremony for close family and friends - all other seating is up for grabs! There will be assigned seats for dinner/reception.
We ask kindly that you do not post anything from our wedding on social media, unless the bride or groom OKs it. You are more than welcome to share photos of yourself at the event, but please double-check before posting photos/videos of the bride & groom. We would like to keep our wedding as private as we can. This includes the day of, and the weeks/months after.
