Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Please see the 'Travel' page for information on the hotel room block. However, there are many lovely hotels in Baltimore and around the nearest airport (Baltimore-Washington International). While the venue is within walking distance of some hotels and/or along public transport routes, it will likely be a warm and humid day and we recommend using ride-hailing services (e.g. Uber, Lyft) or renting a vehicle to ensure you arrive fresh and relaxed.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is on-site parking for approximately 30 vehicles in a gated, attended lot. Vehicles must be moved when the event ends (12 a.m.), otherwise vehicles may be ticketed and/or towed. While the venue is within walking distance of some hotels, it will likely be a warm and humid day and we recommend using ride-hailing services (e.g. Uber, Lyft) or renting a vehicle to ensure you arrive fresh and relaxed.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
At this time, we are not planning to arrange transportation. Event parking is available at the venue and ride-hailing services (e.g. Uber, Lyft) are widely available. We encourage you ask your hotel about transportation. However, please reach out to us if you have questions - we are happy to help!
