FAQs

If you didn't realize that you had cultural differences from the person you love... try planning a wedding! The things that are obvious to one of us are not to the other, and we each have different questions. We've tried to answer those we could anticipate here. If you have additional questions, please reach out to us or to our wedding planner: Matt Sipala, 202-607-0824 or mattsipala@gmail.com
Question

When should I reply by?

Answer

Please reply as soon as you are able! We would like to confirm numbers by July 1st at the latest.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Guests will be invited to the courtyard at 3:45. The ceremony begins at 4. If you're early, The Tabard Inn has a lovely bar!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Valet parking is available at The Tabard Inn. Please let them know you are here for our wedding. If you prefer to self-park, you can book a space at The Palladium, 1325 18th Street, NW. The garage is just around the corner from the wedding venue, and parking is $10 for up to 12 hours. Please pre-book your space at bit.ly/SJ_selfpark

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

We are fortunate to have both local and long-distance friends joining us, and we are looking forward to spending time with you all. We are hosting a rehearsal dinner for the wedding party on Wednesday evening, and long-distance out-of-town guests have received an invitation to join us for an event on Friday.

Question

Did I hear someone say "after party"?

Answer

We'll be spending the rest of our lives together, and we're excited to spend this time with you. We anticipate closing out the evening with a nijikai (the-party-after-the-party), coordinated by our friend, and Joanna's Best Woman, Jacqueline Wein. The Bar at The St. Regis. 901 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20006
