Don't worry, you can watch the ceremony live!
Livestream LinkWhat’s the weather like?
It looks like the low will be in the 40s and the high will be in the low 60s, so make sure to bring a sweater or coat!
What is the dress code?
We request that all guests wear cocktail attire. We especially ask that you dress modestly for the ceremony out of reverence for Our Lord. The wedding colors are terracotta and sage green (the bridesmaids will be in shades of orange). Please wear comfortable shoes as the cocktail hour is a downhill walk from the parking lot!

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Please try to arrive between 1:30 and 1:45 PM.
How should I get to the Church?
If you have a car, it would be best to drive since our reception venue is about a 40-minute drive from the Church.
If you don't, it's very easy to get to St. Ann's on the metro! The Tenleytown-AU metro stop (red line) is a five-minute walk from St. Ann's. There are also many bus stops close by on the 31, 33, M4 and N2 routes.
Is there parking at the church?
Yes! There is a parking lot behind and on the right side of St. Ann's Church and free street parking in the surrounding area.
How long will the ceremony last?
We are having a Catholic Mass to celebrate our nuptials, which we expect to last about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes.
How far away is the ceremony from the reception venue?
Brookside Gardens (1800 Glenallan Ave, Wheaton, MD) is about a 40-minute drive from St. Ann's. If you will not have a car, we can find you a seat with another guest! Please let us know in advance so we can help coordinate rides.
What should I do between the ceremony and reception?
You'll have a little free time between the Mass and the cocktail hour, which starts at 5 PM. The gardens at Brookside are breathtaking, so we recommend heading over a little early to walk around and take it all in!
Is there parking at the reception?
Yes! There is ample parking at Brookside.
Where should I go when I get to the reception?
Our reception will begin with a cocktail hour outside in the Fragrance Garden at 5 PM. Look for the signs and listen for the music! You can head inside with us at 6 PM for dinner & dancing.
How should I get around town?
We recommend renting a car so that you have an easier time getting from the Church to the reception venue.
If you prefer to metro, it's very simple! You can metro from the Reagan and Dulles airports to the hotel we have reserved. You can buy a SmarTrip card at any metro stop (we recommend $30) and take the train from either airport to Metro Center, then transfer to the red line headed towards Shady Grove. The Bethesda metro stop is right outside the hotel! Download the Mapway app to figure out how to get around.
