Double Tree: Departs at 2pm Hilton Garden Inn: Departs at 2:10pm Annapolis Waterfront Hotel: Departs at 2:10pm Reminder- if you are staying at The Graduate, please use the shuttle departing from the Hilton Garden Inn.
Please wear smart casual attire for the welcome party. The Officer’s Club is requesting collared shirts for men and no jeans. Formal wear is requested for the chapel ceremony and reception. Military guests wishing to wear a uniform should wear their service's respective service dress uniform for the local season.
Shuttles will be provided from The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, The Hilton Garden Inn and The Doubletree to the chapel. Shuttles back to these hotels will be provided at the end of our reception. If you are staying at The Graduate, please use The Hilton Garden Inn as your shuttle location (it is only about a block away). Please check back closer to our wedding date to confirm shuttle times. And please remember your ID!
Shuttle times will be added the week of the wedding. Please check back then! PLEASE NOTE- The time that will be listed is when the bus is LEAVING the hotel. Please plan accordingly and be at the shuttle a few minutes early. Thank you!
While we HIGHLY suggest taking the provided shuttle to our ceremony, you may walk on to the yard through Main Gate 1. Be mindful that there could be a line and you will have to go through a metal detector (both of which can be bypassed taking the shuttle!) BRING A FORM OF IDENTIFICATION! You will not be allowed on the yard without an ID. For more information regarding acceptable forms of identification please visit: https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/ndw/installations/nsa_annapolis/om/security/Frequently_Asked_Questions.html
Follow the walking instructions for getting to the chapel below. The Officer’s Club will be just past the chapel on the left.
You will enter through Main Gate 1 and proceed straight past the goat statue (be sure to pause for a picture!) You will take your next left down “Captain’s Row” or Porter Road. On your left will be a row of houses. When you get to the end take a right on to Buchanan. This will lead you to Bancroft Hall on your right and the Superintendent’s house on your left. Walk past the Superintendent’s house and you will see the Chapel almost immediately on the left!
The only real restriction is to not bring weapons onto the yard. No guns, knives, fireworks, etc.
At the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel you'll find Pusser's Caribbean Grill. We highly suggest ordering a Painkiller and soaking in some sun on the deck out back. If you're looking to really take advantage of Annapolis, we recommend walking the .5 miles from the chapel to the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel so you can hit up a bar along the way! Or, spend some extra time touring the yard after our ceremony. If a power nap before a night of fun is more your speed, we encourage guests to relax in their hotel room and join us for cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m.
