Shuttles to the ceremony will depart from Navy Yard by 3:15pm and arrive at Church of the Epiphany by 3:30-3:45pm. After the ceremony, shuttles to the reception at District Winery will depart from the front of the church by 5pm. See the "Hotels and Transporation" page for additional details.

Question

What other transportation and parking options are available?

Answer

ARRIVING AT THE CEREMONY: There is no on-site parking at Church of the Epiphany where the ceremony will be held, and public parking in downtown Washington DC can be expensive. If you will not be riding the shuttle from Navy Yard, we recommend arriving to the ceremony via taxi, rideshare, or public transit. If you plan to drive to the ceremony, please see the parking suggestions below. GETTING FROM THE CEREMONY TO THE RECEPTION: Shuttles to the reception at District Winery will depart from the front of the church at 5pm. If there is no more space on the shuttles or you prefer to travel to the reception separately, it is approximately a 15-20 minute taxi or rideshare ride to District Winery. AFTER THE RECEPTION: The two hotels where we have reserved room blocks, Thompson Washington DC and Hampton Inn Navy Yard, are within walking distance of District Winery and can be easily accessed by foot after the reception concludes. PARKING: If you plan to arrive and depart by car, we recommend parking near District Winery where the reception will conclude. There is a 24/7 public parking lot (The Yards - Lot Q) located next to District Winery at 1480 4th Street SE. After parking there, it is approximately a 15-25 minute taxi/rideshare ride to the ceremony location, depending on traffic. You can also walk to the departure point for the guest shuttles, which will be nearby. Availability at this lot can be limited on weekends, so it's best to arrive early if you plan to park there. If the lot is full, there are several other underground public garages nearby. Alternatively, if you prefer to initially park near the ceremony location and then drive to the reception, there are a variety of public garages located near Church of the Epiphany. The closest garage is next door at 1325 G Street NW.
