We’ve arranged guest parking at the Hyatt Shopping Center next to Milton Ridge. You can access Milton Ridge via a small walking path that connects the two properties near Dunkin' Donuts.

Here are a few key details to share with your guests:

Where to Park
Guests should park in the side and back areas of the shopping center. Reserved spaces are clearly marked with blue paint on each space. These reserved spots should be utilized before any other spaces.

On-Site Assistance
A parking attendant will be present on the day of your event to assist guests and direct them as needed.

Signage
Signage will also be in place to guide your guests from the parking area to the venue entrance.

Cocktail Hour and Reception Parking

Shuttle Information

A shuttle will depart from the Hyatt at 5:00 PM and return guests at the end of the evening.

Semi Formal

Ladies

Think garden party meets springtime elegance—mid to floor-length dresses in fresh botanical hues. Flowy chiffons, luminous silks, and airy fabrics will capture the dreamy garden vibe. Feel free to play with joyful florals, delicate ruffles, or a touch of shimmer for a look that feels both romantic and effortlessly chic.

We kindly ask that you avoid shades of purple.

Since part of the celebration will be outdoors, we recommend skipping stilettos in favor of a comfortable block or chunky heel—perfect for strolling through the garden and dancing.

Gentlemen

Embrace a fresh, refined look for a spring evening in the garden. Opt for tailored suits or jackets in light, breathable fabrics and soft seasonal shades—think sand, sage green, sky, or classic navy. A crisp shirt, polished shoes, and thoughtful details (like a pocket square or tie in a cheerful hue) will strike the right balance between timeless and festive.

While your still welcome to wear navy, please note groomsmen are wearing navy.

Since part of the celebration will be outdoors, we suggest choosing smart dress shoes with a sturdy sole to keep you comfortable on the garden paths and dance floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Due to the limited capacity of out venue, we will not be accommodating plus one(s) unless specifically indicated on your invitation.

  • To allow all wedding guests, including parents, a night of fun, we respectfully ask that no children attend the celebrations, unless discussed previously with the bride and groom.

  • We recommend Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) or Dulles International Airport (IAD). However, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is also another great option.

  • Semi-formal wedding attire strikes a balance between formal and casual, meaning it's dressier than casual but not as formal as black-tie.

    For women, this can mean a knee-length or midi dress, a dressy pantsuit, or a stylish jumpsuit.

    For men, a suit with a dress shirt is appropriate, but a tie is often optional and matching pieces aren't required.

    We ask you avoid wearing purple, navy, and white!

  • Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all, but if you’d wish to honor us with a gift, we have curated a honeymoon fund and registry.
