Boutique stays nearby

Two independent hotels we love, both an easy walk from the ceremony and the reception. They're outside our room blocks, but each offers a local rate you can book directly.

Getting here

Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) is the closest airport, about a 20-minute drive from downtown. Amtrak and MARC trains stop at Baltimore Penn Station, a short ride from both venues.

Coming by car? Both the ceremony and reception are in Mount Vernon. Our recommended garages, the nearest light rail stop, and a Lyft code for the weekend are all just below.

Parking & getting around

Both venues sit a few blocks apart in Mount Vernon. Here's where to leave the car, and how to get around without one.

Primary Garage

Chesapeake Center Parking

601 N Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21202

This is the one we'd point you to, especially if you plan to stay through the last dance.

Also A Good Bet

Franklin Street Parking

15 W. Franklin St, Baltimore, MD 21201

Our second pick, a few blocks from both venues. City-run, and open until midnight on Saturdays, so you won't have to move the car mid-reception.

Night Owls Beware

LAZ Parking · Walters Art Museum Lot

It sits closer to the venue, but you have to collect your keys by 7:00 PM, before the reception ends. Park here only if you're planning an early night.

Light Rail

Mt. Vernon (Centre Street)

The closest Light RailLink stop to both venues.

Lyft

Code LOVEGROVE

Rideshare in style, on us: add the code LOVEGROVE in the Lyft app before you ride.
