• Reception: 6:00 PM at The Westin Georgetown

What is the dress code?

We encourage you to dress warmly as January weather in D.C. can be chilly, especially during travel between venues.
GUEST LIST & INVITATIONS
Can I bring a guest?
We truly wish we could celebrate with everyone, but due to venue capacity and our goal for a more intimate setting, plus-ones are only invited if specifically listed on your invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!

Our celebration is adults-only, with the exception of children participating in the wedding party. We love your little ones, but hope you’ll enjoy a fun, relaxing evening out.
