Our favorite wedding dress code is "festive attire" (Google It--see what Tan France has to say!) but with the wedding close to the holidays we don't necessarily want folks to break out their ugly Christmas sweaters (though we won't turn it away) :). By Festive Attire we mean cocktail attire that shows your personality! We want a fun and colorful presence so don't be afraid of patterns and textures!! :)
We are doing a Cocktail Style Dinner. There will be several Dinner Stations for guests to find whatever food they like best, made fresh in front of you. We will not have planned seating, but rather you can move around, eat what you like, and catch up with other guests.
December in DC can be unpredictable! Be sure to check the weather. You could need your faux fur coat or it could be 75 degrees!
Both the Ceremony and the Reception are in the same location, indoors at The Barns at Wolftrap in Vienna, VA. There will be a coat closet and safe place for personal items. Visit the "Travel Deets" Page for more specific information or see the next question. Read about the history of The Barns at Wolftrap here: https://www.wolftrap.org/about/venues/barns.aspx
A shuttle will be providede from The Hilton Garden Inn for all guests. If you'd like to drive yourself... Address: The Barns at Wolftrap, 1635 Trap Rd Vienna, VA 22182 Beware that the simplest/fastest way to get there includes taking the Dulles Toll Rd (Rt 267). You can avoid tolls by taking Rt 7 (from either direction) to Towlston Rd. Find Specific Directions here: https://www.wolftrap.org/visit/directions/barns-directions.aspx
