FAQs

Question

Are children invited to the wedding?

Answer

To allow all our guests a night of relaxation and revelry, we respectfully ask that no children under 12 attend the reception.

Question

How close are the ceremony and reception venues? What is the best way to travel between them?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place at St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church, followed by the reception at Stonewall Golf Club. The venues are approximately a 20–25 minute drive apart. We recommend that guests plan to drive or use a rideshare service to travel between locations. Additional details will be provided closer to the wedding date.

Question

What are the best transportation options for out-of-town guests?

Answer

For guests traveling from out of town, the most convenient airports are Washington Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. From there, we recommend renting a car or using rideshare services, as this will provide the most flexibility for getting between venues and accommodations.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Parking will be available at both the ceremony and reception venues. Guests attending the reception at Stonewall Golf Club will have access to on-site parking. Additional details and directions will be provided closer to the event.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony and keep phones put away. This allows everyone to be fully present, and ensures our professional photographer can capture these moments without distraction. You are more than welcome to take photos during the reception!

Question

Are you registered for gifts?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift. However, for those who wish to celebrate with a gift, we will be sharing a registry and/or honeymoon fund closer to the date.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests who are formally listed on the invitation. If you were not given a plus one, we kindly ask for your understanding in not bringing an additional guest. Thank you so much for respecting our wishes—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
