Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is located between Annapolis and Baltimore. It is the closest airport to fly into.

All wedding guests that completed a 5512 form will be pre-approved for USNA entry. Gate 8 will be available for vehicle access to drive onto the Naval Academy. You need a security pass along with the ID you submitted on the 5512 form to get through security. Please pick up your security pass from a family member at the Residence Inn on Taylor Avenue in Annapolis prior to going to the Academy. On the day of the wedding, someone will be outside the Residence Inn to give you your security pass. You will need to show security the same government issued ID that you used to complete the DD5512. That is a U.S. issued REAL ID driver's license or a passport for non-U.S. citizens. You can enter the Naval Academy through Gate 8. Once through security, cross the bridge, pass the Worden parade field on your right and the parking garage will be on your right across from Alumni Hall. All foreign guests should bring their passports as ID.

There is parking for all the guests at Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards, 405 W Lombard St, Baltimore, MD 21201 whether or not you stay there. Before you enter the parking garage, go to the front desk and let the front desk know you are parking with the Pyrtyk-Dunn wedding. The front desk will provide a parking pass to use to enter the garage. We have already taken care of the parking fee as long as you get the pass before you enter the garage. If you enter the garage prior to getting a pass, you will be required to pay the higher advertised parking rate and will not be eligible for a discount. Your car may remain overnight whether or not you stay at the Marriott. There will be a white bus parked at the entrance to shuttle guests to and from the Peabody Library. The shuttle will run all night for guest's convenience.

Children are welcomed at the Naval Academy Chapel ceremony. To allow all wedding guests, including parents, a night of relaxation and fun, we respectfully ask that no children attend the reception at the George Peabody Library.
