The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm at Blacknall Memorial Presbyterian Church (1902 Perry Street, Durham NC, 27705). The reception will take place at The Cotton Room (807 E. Main Street, Durham).

Parking for the ceremony is available in the Duke lot off of Iredell St. (across from the side entrance of Blacknall). Please note: the parking lot does not open until 5:00pm. Limited street parking is available before that time. Parking for The Cotton Room is on-site.

While we love kiddos (and we know yours are the best!), we are only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. (But yes, we would love to see the treasure trove of pictures you have on your phone at some point!)

Cocktail attire. For men, we suggest a suit. Tie is optional. For women, we suggest a mid or knee-length dress, or dressy separates. But hey, it's not that deep. Just wear something you feel beautiful in! That dress that's been hanging in your closet? The one that that you love, but you just haven't had an occasion to wear it? This is the occasion! Wear that one!

For hotels, we suggest checking out the Hampton Inn and Suites at Durham University Medical Center (1206 Cole Mill Road), or the Hilton Durham near Duke University (3800 Hillsborough Road). If you're feeling fancy, check out the Durham Hotel (315 E. Chapel Hill St)! April is a popular time for weddings (a great month!), so we suggest booking your hotel room as soon as possible.
