Travel

Air Travel

There are three major airports close to Washington DC: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). DCA is the closest and most convenient airport, approximately 15 minutes' drive from the location of our ceremony (Church of the Resurrection, 501 E St SE, Washington, DC). IAD and BWI are each about an hour drive to the church. All are accessible by Uber/Lyft, and IAD and DCA are accessible by Metro.


Hotels

We have not reserved a block of hotel rooms, as DC has many hotel options suited to many budgets. Additionally, Capitol Hill is an historic neighborhood with plenty of charming AirBnb/VRBO options. We recommend staying in one of Capitol Hill's many beautiful rowhouses for the full, local experience.


If you'd prefer a hotel, below we've listed several options that are close to the ceremony location. We recommend booking soon, as the day after our wedding is the annual Marine Corps Marathon, which will bring many visitors to DC.


The closest hotel to the church is The Capitol Hill Hotel located at 200 C St SE.


Other nearby options:

- Courtyard Washington Capitol Hill/Navy Yard (140 L St SE, Washington, DC 20003)

Transportation

While rental cars are available at all three airports, the easiest way to get around Washington DC is by walking, using a rideshare service, or taking the metro.


The ceremony location and the surrounding Capitol Hill neighborhood are metro-accessible by the Eastern Market station and Capitol South station (both Silver, Orange, and Blue lines). For information on using the Metro system, please visit this site: www.washington.org/navigating-dc-metro


While driving and parking is common, there are not many parking garages immediately accessible near the venue and street parking is typically quite limited.


We encourage guests to walk or Uber to and from the venue to alleviate the stress of finding street parking near the church.


If you would like to drive in and park at a nearby garage, there are some options within a 10 minute walk from the venue. Drive up, paid parking is available at 700 Pennsylvania Ave, SE, as well as "Lot 660", 600 Pennsylvania Ave SE. Both of these options are north of the church by a few blocks.
