Driving Directions & Parking:

For local guests or those driving in from out of state, GN Event Center is conveniently located at 7217 Centreville Rd, Manassas, VA 20111, with easy access from major highways across Virginia and neighboring states.

Free parking is available on-site at the venue, with plenty of space for all our guests. You’ll find designated areas near the main entrance, and signage will be in place to guide you upon arrival.

Air Travelers: 

If you are flying to Dulles International Airport (IAD) or Reagan National Airport (DCA), you have two easy options to reach the wedding venue. 

The first, you can take a ride share service like Uber or Lyft. The ride from IAD takes about 30 minutes. From DCA, the trip takes about 45 minutes. Ride-sharing is also a great option for getting around the area during your stay.

Alternatively, you rent a car, which is perfect if you’d like to stay for a few extra days and explore Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV area). Both airports offer rental services through major providers. At IAD, a free shuttle will take you to the rental car center, while at DCA, rental counters are located in Garage A and are easily accessible via an airport shuttle. The venue offers free parking, so you won’t need to worry about finding a spot when you arrive.

Accommodation: 

We truly wish we could accommodate everyone, and we're doing our best to make space in our home for as many guests as possible. However, since the wedding falls during a busy season and weekend, hotel availability in the area is very limited. If you have friends or family living nearby (DMV Area), we kindly recommend reaching out to them for a place to stay during your visit. For guests who don’t know anyone in the area, please feel free to reach out to event organizer at 571-340-5780. We’ll do our best to assist with arrangements or help you find an alternative option.

Your presence means the world to us, and we’ll do everything we can to make you feel at home. ❤️

With love,
Vinay & Savithri
