Where should we arrive?
Our wedding will take place on April 5 at Fathom Gallery in Georgetown, Washington, DC.
Guests should arrive at the outdoor patio entrance, which is accessed through an alley off O Street NW. Use this address for drop-off: 3158 O St NW, Washington, DC 20007. The address belongs to a law firm in a blue building. Walk down the alley next to it to reach the outdoor patio, where the cocktail hour will begin at 5pm.
For reference, here is a photo of the alley entrance.
How do we get to the venue?
Georgetown does not have a metro stop, so the easiest way to get to the venue is a quick 10-minute Uber/Lyft/Empower ride. Remember to use the drop off pin listed above.
There is no on-site parking at Fathom Gallery, but there are parking garages and street parking options nearby. We encourage guests to uber or use public transit for convenience.
Here are some public transit options from the hotels:
Hilton Garden Inn (Arlington) & Hyatt Centric (Arlington) – Take bus 38B directly to Georgetown.
Georgetown Inn – The venue is right across the street!
What is the dress code?
Cocktail attire! Dress up, but make sure you’re comfortable. The venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces, so please plan accordingly.
For men, this means a suit or jacket. For women, a cocktail dress (knee-length or below) would be ideal. We kindly ask guests to avoid wearing any colors typically reserved for the bride.
What should we expect at the ceremony?
Guests should arrive at 5:00pm for cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, featuring a beer and wine bar, light hors d’oeuvres, and mingling. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm and will be short and sweet. It will be a standing intimate celebration, with a few benches reserved for family.
What should we expect at the reception?
Great food, open bar, and music! After the ceremony, guests will head inside for drinks, a buffet-style dinner, and dancing.
The buffet will offer a variety of options that will accommodate any dietary restrictions previously shared in the RSVP form, with allergy warning signs where applicable.
The open bar will include beer, wine, spirits, and signature cocktails.
We’ll also have Polaroid cameras and a guestbook—snap a picture, stick it in the book, and leave us a message!
What is the best way to share photos from the wedding?
We’d love to see all the fun moments you capture! We will provide a Google Drive link where you can upload and share your photos.
WHERE SHOULD WE SEND GIFTS?
Our address is saved on all the sites linked to our registry, so you can easily ship gifts directly to us when ordering through the registry (available in a separate tab on this website). You are also welcome to bring gifts and cards to the reception.
What should we do after the wedding?
We’ll keep the party going at a bar in Georgetown after the wedding! Feel free to join us for drinks and more dancing.
