FAQs

Question

Is there any guidance around COVID?

Answer

Yes, please see the COVID Planning and Guidance page.

Question

How do we get from The Darcy to Josephine Butler Parks Center?

Answer

Given the close proximity between the hotel and the wedding venue (1 mile, 5-minute drive), we are not providing transportation to guests. We recommend taking an Uber or Lyft that should cost about $10-$15. You can also ask the hotel concierge to call a taxi for you.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we love your kids, unfortunately we aren't able to accommodate them at our wedding. Please let us know if you need assistance securing child care for the evening.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.

Question

Is Josephine Butler Parks Center accessible?

Answer

To access the venue's main entrance on 15th Street NW, there are two flights of stairs or you may walk up the ramp on the left side of the building and then only one flight of stairs. The venue has a small parking lot at the back of the building, where there is a handicapped parking space and ramp access to the 1st floor. Please note that there is NO elevator access to the 2nd floor where the ceremony and reception will be held. There are two flights of carpeted stairs with hand rails between the 1st and 2nd floors. If you have any concerns, contact Lauren and Roger directly.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Cocktail hour will include passed hor d'oeuvres and there will be two dinner stations, so there should be something for everybody! The catering staff will know the ingredients of the food being served so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you have any concerns that you want to share in advance, contact Lauren and Roger directly.
