Thank you for traveling to celebrate and share this special day with us!
Accommodations in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia We recommend out-of-town guests stay at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town in Old Town Alexandria, VA.
The Old Town area is conveniently located between Washington, DC and George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, where the ceremony and reception will be held. Old Town has a picturesque waterfront, walk-able main street, and easy access to Washington DC via the Metro public transportation.
Useful Info: - We've reserved a block of rooms with group rates at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town. To book a room at this rate, use this link (and book by September 24th!):

- Be careful not to confuse the "Hilton Alexandria Old Town" (which is correct) with the "Alexandria Hilton Mark Center" (which isn't the right hotel for our event)!

Fun Facts: - Zack proposed to Jolie at Duke Park in Old Town.
- In 1748, George Washington surveyed Alexandria.
- Although the ceremony and reception are taking place at the "Mount Vernon Inn", the "Inn" is just a restaurant; there are no hotel rooms. Upon hearing this, an inquiring guest told the inn hostess, "I don't know how you do things in Virginia but in New England, our 'Inns' have hotel rooms."
