We are so grateful to all those who are traveling to Raleigh to celebrate with us! Below you'll find some key travel information and recommendations, but please reach out to Emily or Alex with any questions.   Please note that the annual World of Bluegrass festival in Raleigh is coinciding with our wedding weekend, so we encourage you to book your travel as soon as possible to avoid heightened prices.

The Casso (formerly Hotel 83 / Origin Hotel Raleigh)

Below are several other nearby hotel options that we recommend.

Great location near welcome party with amazing rooftop bar views!

AC Hotel by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

Very cute and trendy with a fun bar onsite.

The Longleaf Hotel and Lounge

Cheaper option in a hilariously shaped building. Conveniently located about halfway between welcome party and wedding venues.

Holiday Inn Raleigh Downtown

A few blocks farther from the venues but in a fun area of the Glenwood South neighborhood.

Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Downtown

Transportation

RDU Airport is just about 25 minutes from downtown Raleigh and the wedding venue, with plenty of rental car options onsite if desired.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport

For those flying into Raleigh, relying on ride share apps and walking is likely the cheapest and easiest way to get around. (Public transportation here isn't great.)   The hotel is about a 25-minute ride from the airport, and once you're downtown, everything you need will be within walking distance or a very short ride. The wedding venue is a 15-minute walk or very short drive from the hotel.   If you wish to spend a lot of time exploring beyond downtown Raleigh, including Durham and Chapel Hill, a rental car may be more convenient. Parking at the hotel is available for $14 per day.

Travel

We know many of you are traveling from near and far to celebrate with us, and we couldn't be more grateful! We want you to have a spectacular weekend in Raleigh so have shared some of our favorite things to do, see, eat and drink below. All of these places are within walking distance or a less than 10-minute drive from the hotel. Reach out to Emily or Alex if you have questions or are looking for additional recommendations. We love our little city and hope you will, too!
