When should we RSVP by?

We ask that you kindly RSVP by July 15th.

What is the dress code?

D.C. summers are hot and humid. With this in mind, our dress code is garden party chic. Think linen, seersucker, sleeveless, light, and breathable attire.

Is there a room block at a specific hotel?

There is not a room block at a specific hotel. We want to provide our guests with as much flexibility as possible. There are a plethora of hotels in the area where we are staying, so the options are limitless when it comes to accommodations. Whether you are a Hilton Honors rewards member or want to cash in on your Marriott Bonvoy points, Downtown Bethesda has multiple hotels for any kind of traveler. All of the recommended hotels are within blocks of each other. There are also other hotels that we didn’t include that are also within walking distance of each other, of our hotel, and of all of the shops and restaurants in the area!

Where are the brides staying?

We will be staying at the Marriott Bethesda Downtown at Marriott HQ hotel.

Will there be shuttle service provided to and/or from the wedding?

While there will be parking available at the wedding venue, we encourage our guests to take an Uber or Lyft to and from the celebration. The venue is 10 minutes from downtown Bethesda. There will be no shuttle service provided.

What time should we arrive to the venue for the ceremony?

We kindly ask that guests arrive and be seated by 4:50PM. The ceremony will start promptly at 5:00PM.

How do I know if I have a plus one?

Your invitation will indicate whether or not you received a plus one. If you have any questions, please reach out to the brides directly. Thank you!

Note: Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion is a nature conservatory. We kindly request no smoking or vaping of any kind on the premises. Thank you.
