We love our home in historic Downtown Annapolis, and we hope you’ll take the weekend and enjoy it with us! In between wedding events, it’s a perfect place to shop, eat, and soak up some history, and we’ll share a guide to some of our favorite sights and spots with you as the wedding gets closer.

We’ll have room blocks at downtown hotels ready to reserve around the time formal invitations arrive in early 2026.

BWI is the closest airport to Annapolis, but DCA isn’t much further. (If you refer to DCA as “Reagan,” you will be banned. We don’t use that kind of language in this house.) 

If you are thinking of coming by train, the New Carrollton Amtrak station (NCR) is much closer to Annapolis than Union Station in DC or Baltimore.

Public transit in Annapolis isn’t the best, but there are Ubers and Lyfts available if you’d prefer not to rent a car. We will offer transportation from downtown Annapolis to the Friday night BBQ and the wedding on Saturday.

We’ll have a Welcome BBQ on Friday evening, the wedding will be late afternoon into the night on Saturday, and a Farewell Brunch late Sunday morning.

We would love to see you all weekend, but understand if you can't make every event!

Yes!

We will have shuttles going to and from the welcome BBQ on Friday, and to and from the wedding venue on Saturday. Because the brunch on Sunday is in downtown Annapolis, you'll be able to walk on your own (or Uber if your hotel is further away).

If you would like to ride with us, make sure to let us know when you RSVP.

Late June in Annapolis is warm, humid, and sunny. Expect highs in the mid-to-upper 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

Please RSVP no later than May 1.

Kids are welcome at all events (but only if they promise not to be too well-behaved!)

When you RSVP, please indicate if you plan to bring your kids, and to which events.

Yes please! We would appreciate it if you filled out the RSVP form as soon as you can.

We are limited in the amount of people we can accommodate, and we hope every one of you are able to make it, but knowing well in advance if you can’t come allows us to include someone else we love.

Coastal and/or garden festive attire

Breezy, comfortable, but not too casual.

We’ll be gathering in the late afternoon and soaking in the sunset on the water, so feel free to wear something fun and colorful. Lightweight dresses, soft linens, and relaxed summery sets.

Feel free to take shelter from the rain inside the house or under the tent.

We are going to have an unplugged ceremony.

Once the ceremony begins, please silence and put away your phone. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our incredible photographers and videographers to be able to capture the best photos and videos, which we’ll share with all of you!

After the ceremony, feel free to take pictures the rest of the night, and don’t forget to share them with us!

Garden party formal attire

Picture this: It's the first English Royal garden party of the season, and it's on the water.

Midi or maxi dresses, elevated pantsuits, jumpsuits, and suits. We highly encourage fun hats, statement pieces, and bold accessories!

The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors on the grass, and there are stone paths along the venue, so please choose your footwear accordingly.

There will be tents, patios, and an indoor area to use as respite from the sun.

The reception will end at 10 PM.

Annapolis on a late Saturday afternoon in the summer can be a bit busy.

We recommend planning for a drive up to 30 minutes from any of our hotel blocks downtown, and from downtown generally. From the Crowne Plaza, it’ll be closer to 20 minutes.

If you've been out to eat with us, you know we study the menu in advance and split everything, so why would we treat you any differently? We’re so excited to have our wedding catered by Palate Pleasers — they have been catering the Stark family picnic for over 30 years!

Our wedding will be Maryland summer buffet-style: fresh salads, crab, orange crushes, etc. (Don’t worry, vegetarians and vegans, we’ll have plenty of options for you, too!)

We will have an open bar with the usual plus some fun signature cocktails and NA options.

At the after party, we’ll have some light bites, and there will be a cash bar.

The Trophy Room
126 West Street
Annapolis, MD 21401

The party will commence at around 10:30 PM and will need to end at midnight.

The Trophy Room is about a 10-minute drive from Crowne Plaza.

It’s between a 10-15 minute walk (or 5-minute ride) from The Westin and The Waterfront Hotel, and downtown generally.

It’s an elevator ride in the Graduate ;)

An interfaithless marriage. Get it? ;) 

We are excited to have Humanistic rabbi Greg Epstein, the Humanist Chaplain at Harvard and MIT and former spiritual advisor on “Married at First Sight,” as our wedding officiant! Our ceremony — like our family — will weave together Jewish traditions and humanist beliefs.

The bridal party will be wearing a mix of colors from our palette, and a mix of solids and patterns. Groomsmen will be wearing blue suits.

Please feel free to use colors from our palette, too!

On the rooftop of Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge
75 West Street
Annapolis, MD 21401

It’ll be from 11 AM to 1 PM.

Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge is one of our go-to restaurants in downtown Annapolis, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

We’ll have a full buffet menu of exciting brunch options. We will also have a cash bar.

Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge is a (really beautiful) walk from the hotels downtown: right across the street from The Graduate, roughly a 5-minute walk from The Westin, and a 10-minute walk from the Waterfront.

From Crowne Plaza, it’s a 10-minute drive.

Half of the rooftop area is covered by an overhang.

Coastal brunch attire

Sundresses, easy sets, polos, and linen are all great choices. Brunch will be on an outdoor rooftop with some shaded areas.
