The Wedding Website of Derek Ratliff and Kyle Rush
Washington, D.C. has many unique offerings from family-friendly museums and monuments to adult exclusive venues. We want to ensure that all of our guests are able to enjoy every moment of our magical city, so we have provided several options for all ages and price points.

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)

This is the most convenient means of travel for anyone that visits the metropolitan area! Train cards can be purchased at any metro station kiosk for $2 per metro card and loaded with either cash or cards to pay fares. Remaining balance does not expire. You will need one card per person. Metro cards are able to be used on all WMATA trains and buses! The closest station to the wedding venue will be the Metro Center, which is two blocks east and one block north. Metro Center station can be accessed by RED, BLUE, SILVER, and ORANGE train lines. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA): BLUE line trains towards Downtown Largo or YELLOW line trains towards Convention Center.

There are no restrooms or food available on the trains. Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI): No immediate metro train access. The closest train station will be Greenbelt (GREEN line).
