Question

Do you have any COVID-19 updates?

Answer

ANSWER We encourage all our guests to please be fully vaccinated before attending our wedding if they are able to do so. This is to better ensure that all our guests can safely attend our wedding. If you choose not to be vaccinated, please get a COVID-19 PCR test 72 hours beforehand and see the Travel Tips below. TRAVEL TIPS: -Make flight reservations you are able to alter or purchase trip insurance that includes COVID-19. Most major credit cards offer insurance to some degree. Check to see if your plans apply. -Book hotel rooms ASAP and cancel later if you need to. Most hotels allow you to cancel up to 24 hours before checking in as long as you didn’t pre-pay. Also, check their website occasionally for better deals and call to update your rate. -For Airbnb, Vrbo and other similar homestay options be sure to reach out to the owner of the property even if their cancellation policy doesn't work for you. They may consider changing their policy for you if you ask.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

Parking on-site. Please carpool with friends and family if you are able. Lot 1 parking is up the hill by the stone house. Lot 2 parking is at the bottom of the hill. We ask those that are of good physical health to park in Lot 2 in order to leave accessible parking to guests who are not. Please arrive early to ensure parking doesn't delay your arrival to the ceremony. **Note: There is overflow parking 1 minute away down a steep main road. Please call 703-951-2183 if parking is full and you need a shuttle. Overflow parking can be found on Google Maps @ Snickers Gap - Appalachian Trailhead. https://goo.gl/maps/PbHhqHY9Jyuozayu9

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail Attire: Cocktail Dresses, dressy jumpsuits, floral prints. Pant/blazer. Suits and tie in lighter hues. Consider purples, pinks, or warm tones; elements of black or white are okay. Black suit jackets are fine, don't worry. Solid red and gold is reserved for the brides and wedding party only, accents of these colors are OK.
