FAQs

Question

Where is the wedding being held?

Answer

All wedding events will take place at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland. The ceremony will be held outdoors (weather permitting) on the resort grounds, followed by an indoor cocktail hour and reception in the Waterford Ballroom. Turf Valley has everything in one place: accommodations, a spa, golf course, pool, etc. to enjoy over the long weekend.

Question

Are there things to do nearby?

Answer

Definitely! Turf Valley is about 30 minutes from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C., so if you’re arriving early or staying a bit longer, there’s plenty to explore. To visit Baltimore, it’s a 30 minute drive or Uber away. For D.C., you can take the Metro from Greenbelt Station and Uber from there, or drive straight in (plan for traffic!). Ellicott City’s charming historic downtown is also nearby for shops, restaurants, and wandering.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors, weather permitting. Cocktail hour and the reception will be indoors.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 4:15 PM, and no later than 4:30 PM, to allow time for parking and getting seated. The ceremony will begin shortly after, and we’d love for you to be settled and present for the entire thing.

Question

Will there be transportation between venues?

Answer

No transportation needed! All wedding events are taking place on-site at The Turf Valley Resort.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Formal attire. We suggest that guests wear a suit, a long dress, a cocktail dress, or a nice pantsuit. Please choose attire that makes you feel comfortable and confident for the occasion.

Question

Is there a hotel block? How do I book?

Answer

Yes! We have a block of rooms reserved at Turf Valley Resort. Visit turfvalley.com and use the group code 28I0IG (yes, those are two uppercase “i”s and a zero—because of course it had to be confusing).

Question

What's the closest airport?

Answer

Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) is the closest airport, about 25–30 minutes from the venue. You can also fly into Reagan National (DCA), which is a bit farther but may offer more flight options. From there, you can take the Metro to Greenbelt Station, then Uber to the resort.

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Duh. What kind of party do you think we’re throwing? Claro!

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by July 4, 2025 so we can finalize all the details, without stressing!

Question

Should I bring a gift?

Answer

Truly, your presence is the greatest gift, we’re just so excited to celebrate with you! We’re not doing a traditional registry, and gifts are absolutely not expected. If you feel moved to give something, we’d be grateful for a cash contribution toward our future together. You can send a gift via: Venmo: @GabyCastro or @Jonathan-Austin-20 Zelle: gcastrorod97@gmail.com or jonaustin1996@gmail.com But again, just having you there means the world to us!
