FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please consider wearing formal or cocktail attire. (For those who want more concrete guidelines: for men, we'd suggest a suit & tie, for women, we'd suggest dresses.)

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving 20-30 minutes early, so that you have plenty of time to park, receive programs, and be seated. Also, you'll arrive in time for the organ prelude, which begins at 2:10pm.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! The cathedral has a parking garage directly to the right/underneath of it. The reception venue has a parking lot behind it. You can also use nearby street parking.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Absolutely! We love kids. Please list their names on your RSVP card so we know how many to expect.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unless otherwise indicated on your wedding invitation address, we ask that you not bring a guest. Spouses and serious boyfriends/girlfriends are welcome. (If you're unsure about a particular situation, just contact us and ask!)

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Please consider donating to one of our favorite charities, listed under the "registry" tab on our website. We want to use our special day to help benefit others.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We are blocking two hotels for our guests (thank you for traveling for our special day!). This information will be listed under the "travel" tab.

Question

How do we get from the church to the reception venue?

Answer

If you don't have a car, we recommend taking a cab or an Uber -- they are usually easy to spot in the city. If for some reason you can't find a cab, you can call "DC Yellow Cab" at 202-544-1212 or "DC Taxi Service" at (202) 412-7049. You can also take a metro train -- by using the red line train to Glenmont from Dupont Circle to Brookland/CUA (although, this will entail 20-30 minutes of walking). If you have any concerns about this, let us know! We can try to pair you with someone who is driving.

Question

How can I contact the bride and groom?

Answer

You can email us at freeston@gmail.com or kathrynjeanyoder@gmail.com.
