Answer

We love your kids-we truly do! But due to the limited capacity of the facility we won't be including children at the ceremony or reception.

Question

Yes, there will be bus transportation provided, however, there is also free self-parking available at the venue. Unfortunately there is no valet at our venue. Please see the travel and accommodations page for more information about scheduled bus times.

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation specifically says "Guest" or your significant others name, then yes. If not, then unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate a guest due to our venue capacity.

What's the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire, please. The ceremony and part of cocktail hour will be outside, so please bring a jacket if you tend to get chilled.

Question

Is there a metro and public transportation near the hotel?

Answer

Yes! The Hyatt Regency Bethesda sits just above a Metro station. There are also Metro buses that run various routes through the city. There is a free Metro app you can download to your smart phone! Metro cards are available to purchase in the Metro station themselves, not on the buses- but you can pay with cash.

The weather can be warm or chilly! We recommend that you keep an eye on the weather prior to arriving. It might be wise to pack for either scenario.

Answer

While our venue is not ADA accessible, the grove where the ceremony will be held does have a drop off location as well as a cemented level path leading to the site.
