Formal attire
We look forward to our wedding day, officiated by our dear friend and mentor, Mark A. Schaefer, in this historical Georgetown church. Foundry United Methodist Church has been a spiritual leader in the nation’s capital for more than 200 years. In a city often characterized by transience and change, Foundry has remained a steadfast beacon — long recognized for its commitment to mission service, social justice, and reconciliation. Foundry’s clergy are viewed as models of influential and dedicated parish leadership. Distinguished by their scholarship, oratory, caring counsel, and deep commitment to Christian principles, they have extended the church’s reputation as a voice of conscience, reason, and hope for residents of and visitors to our city. Located at 16th and P Streets NW in Washington’s Dupont Circle neighborhood — one mile north of the White House — Foundry is easily accessible by public transport. We will provide shuttles from the church to the reception venue.

The Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America is one of Washington, D.C.’s hidden treasures. It stands as an Oasis of Peace in the middle of bustling Washington. It is at once a house of worship, an architectural marvel and a sprawling expanse of gardens. The gardens will be open for guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour. We welcome you to walk through the quiet upper gardens around the monastery chapel, but definitely also encourage you to explore the Lower Gardens where you'll find grottos, replicas of holy sites in Jerusalem, and places to reflect and pray. This is a very beautiful, peaceful place we look forward to sharing with you before partying! Beer, wine, and signature cocktails will be available during an outdoor, tented cocktail hour featuring global hors d'ouvres to match the multicultural richness of our families. Dinner will be fall fare and family style. After dinner, get ready for speeches, games, dancing, and merriment!
