There is a shuttle that will take guests from the Residence Inn Marriott to the venue. The Sheraton and the Lorien Hotel do not have transportation to and from. However, both are about a mile away from the venue, so it would be a short Uber ride or about a twenty minute walk.
Shuttle service will be provided from the ceremony location to the reception venue.
There will be a cocktail hour either on the second floor of the venue or on the terrace outside (weather permitting).
Cocktail attire. Its spring in D.C. so weather could go either way. Plan for it to be warm but maybe bring something to cover up if needed. The ceremony will be outdoors at a park. Reception is indoors.
DUH! Please just bring some cash to tip our outstanding bartenders.
There is street parking as well as parking garages nearby. There is no parking specific to the Torpedo Factory. We suggest playing it safe and taking uber. Per previous question and answer, its an open bar folks!
All three hotels offer parking, both valet and self park for a fee.
