Q + A

Where is the hotel block?

The hotel block is at The Casso, which recently rebranded from Hotel 83 and Origin Hotel Raleigh. It’s still at 603 W. Morgan St. If you booked under a previous name, don’t worry - your reservation is still confirmed. You just need to present the name of the person who booked your room at check-in.

How do we get from the hotel to the welcome party?

We recommend walking! Exit the hotel and walk left five minutes along Morgan St. You'll be there in no time!

How do we get from the hotel to the wedding venue?

Ride share app is probably easiest. The Jiddi Space is just a four-minute ride from the hotel. For those with comfy enough shoes, it's also just a 15-minute walk. Exit the hotel to the right and continue along Morgan St. for about 10 minutes. Turn right just past the state Capitol onto S. Wilmington St. Sitti, the entrance point for the venue, will be at the end of that block on the left.

Where is the Jiddi Space?

The Jiddi Space is located behind Sitti, the restaurant at 137 S. Wilmington St. in Raleigh. Enter through Sitti, where the host will direct you to the event space.

What should I do before the wedding on Saturday?

Start your day with some great breakfast. For options that are walkable from the hotel, we recommend Morning Times and Union Special (Fayetteville St. location). Then, meander on over to CAM Raleigh in the warehouse district, a small but interesting and free contemporary art museum with ever-changing exhibits. For a little shopping of local goods, walk over to DECO Raleigh and Black Friday Market. Then explore the music, food and art of the World of Bluegrass festival, happening on Fayetteville St., all before it's time to get ready for the wedding!

Is parking available at the wedding venue!

Yes, there are several public parking decks in very close proximity to the venue. Both the Car Park and WIlmington St. Station Parking Garage have entrances on the same block as the venue. Street parking is also available, though it may take longer to find a spot.

What is there to do for fun in Raleigh?

Raleigh is a young, fun and vibrant city filled with lots to do, see, eat and drink! Check out the Things to Do page for our recommendations, and reach out to Emily or Alex with any questions.

Do I need a car?

For those flying into Raleigh, it's likely cheaper overall to rely on ride share apps and walking to get around. The hotel is about a 25-minute ride from the airport, but once you're downtown, everything you'll need will be accessible within walking distance or a very short ride. The wedding venue is a 15-minute walk or three-minute drive from the hotel.

What is the wedding dress code?

Cocktail attire.
