Yes! "Dress to Impress" theme—formal cocktail attire. "Dress to Impress" means wearing your favorite formal outfits that make you feel like the best version of yourselves. Dress better than us; we invite you! Suits and stylish shoes, fancy floor-length or cocktail dresses, dressy pantsuits, and fun or bold color accents are all accepted. Please, no jeans, shorts, or tennis shoes.
No, while we love little ones, this is an adults-only event. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We're so sorry, we were intentional in our invites and are not able to accommodate your plus one. Thank you for understanding.
Yes, please email us at jazmyneandjamal@gmail.com to give us a heads-up. We will try our best to accommodate all food allergies or lifestyle preferences. There will be no sit-down dinner - only food stations and hors d'oeuvres throughout the evening, so you will have some flexibility.
No, it is only where the reception will be taking place. We have a room block at the Thompson Hotel. We also have other hotel options listed in "Travel + Hotel," or you can book an Airbnb or stay with family and friends.
Yes - our reception venue is in the heart of Washington, D.C. There is a hotel valet, paid street parking, and a parking garage nearby. If possible, we recommend taking public transportation or ride-share. If you drive and stay in a different neighborhood, we recommend leaving your car there and taking a ride-share to the reception.
A private ceremony is attended by a smaller number of people. We always envisioned a personal and intimate ceremony for our special day. We're grateful for your love and support, and we can't wait to celebrate with you during our evening reception.
Yes. We HIGHLY recommend taking the transportation that we will provide from the Thompson Hotel. We will provide the pick-up to and from the ceremony, so if you are staying elsewhere, you must arrange to meet at the transportation pick-up. You may take ride-shares or drive directly to the ceremony. There is no free or paid parking near the ceremony (a .25-.5mi walk at least), so plan ample time to not jeopardize missing the ceremony. If you require walking assistance, we recommend taking the bus pick-up from the Thompson Hotel.
