Question

Is there parking?

Answer

Both our church and our reception hall have parking lots. St. Mary's parking lot is located right on the corner of 5th Street NW and H Street NW (adjacent to the rectory). It is a small lot (fits about 25 cars), so late arrivals may have to park on the street. Street parking around St. Mary's is about 2 dollars per hour. Margot Hall's parking lot is located directly behind St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School off Lawrence Street NE and has enough space for about 40 cars. There is also free street parking in the neighborhood streets around the Church.

Question

How do I get from the ceremony to the reception?

Answer

We have carefully chosen our wedding venues on streets right next to/across from two metro stops on the same line (the red line). Our wedding mass at St. Mary's is a 2-5 minute walk from the Chinatown metro stop, and Margot Hall (at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church) is a 5-8 minute walk from the Brookland/CUA metro stop. The metro ride from Chinatown to Brookland takes about 15 minutes.
