What is the Dress Code?

We are pleased to have a White Tie wedding. Come as you would to a royal ball. That means: An evening tailcoat, Full-dress trousers, white shirt, white bow tie, and waistcoat for men. Or Tuxedo. For women, a floor-length evening gown, formal accessories, Elbow-length gloves, and heels.

When should we arrive?

Please plan on arriving at 4:30pm.

Are we allowed to take photos during the ceremony?

No, we kindly request that guests refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony. We have hired a professional photographer, and photos will be available to all guests after the wedding. We also ask that you do not post any photos to social media.

Parking

DC is not known for its plentiful parking, however there are a few options nearby. The closest option is valet parking at the Ven Hotel, which is just across the street from our venue.

How can I participate in the cultural traditions?

The couple will be taking part in the traditional money dance, meaning they will dance, and guests will encircle and lay cash on them to wish them good fortune and happiness. You can participate by bringing cash and spraying the couple during that time.

Accommodations?

We have discounted hotel rates for guests. Links can be found on our website under “Travel”.

What shoes are recommended?

The dress code does call for women to wear heels, I would recommend a heel comfortable wide heel suitable for booth indoors and outdoors.

Tips for Fun

Learn the Viennese Waltz.

Can I bring a +1?

We, unfortunately, cannot accommodate for everyone to come with an additional guest. Please only RSVP for those listed on your invitation.
