Travel & Lodging

The Wedding Website of Jasper Elizabeth Carter and Paul Meseke Jr
Welcome to the Meseke-Carter Wedding! While some of you are local, we know that travelling may be necessary to attend, whether it’s by land, by sea, or by airship. To make things easy for everyone, we recommend staying at the local inn, the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville, for all your lodging needs; it is also where the reception is being held for those that might need a place to stay after the festivities. Please see the information below for the inn. We have also arranged for a carriage to transport guests to and from the inn and the ceremony gardens. Below is the carriage schedule and some notes we hope will be helpful on your journey.

Shuttle

Shuttle from the hotel to the ceremony

April 4, 2026 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm

A shuttle will be running from the Hilton to Brookside Gardens every hour, following the below schedule. As the bus will be subject to weekend traffic, we recommend that you gather in the hotel lobby about 5-10 minutes prior to the shuttle leave time. 1st Trip: Leaves the hotel at 12:30pm This is recommended for those who wish to wander the gardens leisurely before the ceremony and take pictures among the cherry blossoms and other beautiful flowers in bloom. 2nd Trip: Leaves the hotel at 1:25pm This is recommended for those who want to get to the gardens early, but not too early. There should be enough time to see most of the gardens before the ceremony with this trip. 3rd Trip: Leaves the hotel at 2:20pm This will be the final trip to get to the ceremony. This is recommended for those who do not wish to explore the gardens before the ceremony.
