Rideshare services and taxi's will probably be the most efficient way of getting between the ceremony and reception venues.

Rideshare Lyft & Uber

Hi All! We have made a courtesy block at three DC area hotels (details below). While these were the best rates we could find for groups, we would definitely encourage you to look for individual good deals! Airbnb is also a good option for folks looking to stay in larger groups.That said, we negotiated quite a bit to get the rates below, and we hope that you find the options useful! The wedding is right about the time cherry blossoms usually appear (yay!), so we'd encourage you to book early.

Research/ Airbnb

While not the most helpful option for getting to the wedding itself, the metro is a great way to get around DC. You can find metro maps and timetables at wmata.com. Don't worry about trying to get a metro card before you arrive in DC-- they are easy to buy here!FYI: if you are flying into DCA, the metro is also an easy way to get into the city cheaply. Follow the metro signs in the airport, buy a card, and jump on the blue or yellow line. You can use the trip planner on wmata.com to figure out how to get close to where you are staying.
