Our wedding on June 14th will take place here at our church! There's lots to do around the church, which is located on Capitol Hill. The nearest metro is Eastern Market.
Visit the site of our first date! Free and beautiful and an easy walk from the church. You'll probably pass some other pretty amazing DC sites on your way.
Our ceremony location (Church of the Resurrection) is close to the heart of Capitol Hill. You can visit the US Capitol, the Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, and a dozen Smithsonian musuems along the National Mall. All the way at the other end sits the Lincoln Memorial. So many places to explore, and all free! We love our beautiful city and hope you can enjoy it while you are in town to celebrate with us.
Go to Carlyle House! Heck, sign up for a yoga class on the morning of the wedding (we wish we could join you!). Katie is on the board of this historic home in Old Town Alexandria and thinks it is a jewel of a house to visit. The gardens are glorious, the volunteers are kind, and the knowledge is nerdy.
A beautiful historic house owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post -- the gardens, the collections, the house itself!
This is close to Dulles Airport and is best suited for those who have a car, but we LOVE this museum and think it is a gem that is not on the National Mall.
A highlight for Kendall and Katie -- we spent a glorious morning exploring the newly opened collection and then Kendall whisked Katie off to Paraiso and told her he loved her. That, and it's a FABULOUS collection for nerds everywhere.
A free, huge, drivable and walkable open space of trees, plants, flowers, and grounds
Kendall and Katie met here for their first date, accidentally grabbed someone else's bagel order (still delicious), and sat in the park across from church before walking to the US Botanic Garden.
A tried-and-true favorite restaurant of many, Zaytinya has delicious Mediterranean food for all times of the day.
Delicious burgers, fun drinks, and a lowkey vibe
Kendall and Katie took her parents here for LaVonne's birthday in 2024 (when they were in DC to literally just "meet Kendall"). It is a friend favorite and now one of our favorites -- great food for a nice night out.
Multiple locations for this tasty place that brings together cultural culinary adventures at decent prices
The BEST Italian food in the area (we think) and the site of two of our favorite dates. We celebrated our engagement and Kendall's new job here, and will wax poetic about every dish for days.
Amazing sushi at an amazing price. Kendall and Katie enjoy sharing the "Love Boat."
If you know Kendall, you know he loves Turkey AND he loves coffee. This cute location in Old Town Alexandria boasts a delightful coffee experience and also lands you on King Street, where you can explore the rest of this cute suburb of DC.
No reservations at this divine French burger joint, but if you can get there when it opens, you won't regret it. Order any of the burgers, a side of frites, and a glass of bubbly and you will be set for your time in Georgetown.
