Please RSVP by March 2, 2026, to ensure we can accommodate everyone comfortably. You can RSVP via our wedding website. Click on the RSVP tab, enter your name, and indicate your attendance.

Both the ceremony and reception will take place indoors at The National Union Building in DC.

Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony's start time to ensure sufficient time to park, locate your seat, and become settled. Out of respect for the ceremony, if you arrive late, you will be asked to wait outside until the ceremony is complete.

Yes! We’ve put together a list of nearby hotels with room block details and recommendations. You can find everything you need on our Accommodations page.

Absolutely, there is. We want to see color, texture, creativity, and ankle-to-floor-length dresses. Please take a look at our Wedding mood board to help get your creativity flowing. Don’t worry about doing too much, we encourage it!

Unfortunately there is a limit on the guests we can invite and cannot accommodate a plus one for everyone. If you are a special case where we have allowed you a plus one, we have listed their name or "Plus One" on your RSVP profile. If you feel we left out someone important, let us know, but understand that our limitations may mean our hands are tied.

No, our wedding will be an adults-only event.

Please let us know of any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Absolutely! Feel free to use #ShepDayEver to help share your night with us and others.
